I never understood howw one can be a real satanist. It just does not make sense.

Why worship satan, he hates you?

And if he bribes you into worshipping him, he will backstabb you eventually.

There is nothing to gain.

Depending on what kind of satanism it is, Satan always has some lie to make it seem palatable.

For instance

>LaVeyan Satanism

The lie is that atheism is the truth, so there's no point in no being hedonistic.

>JoS Satanism

The lie is that God is really just a super-powerful race of aliens posing as god fighting a war against satan and his demon buddies for the future of mankind. In this narrative, god isn't omnipotent, and satan is on mankind's side.

>Chaos-gnostic satanism

Has a dualistic theology that sees life itself in the same way that an SJW sees rape. "Satan" is the uncreated chaos behind the universe to which we all return once the chaos-gnostics fap to enough sigils to disestablish the creation and kill god.

The lie is ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

>Yazidi religion

The lie is that Satan is so sorry for rebelling that he's taken it on himself to serve god by helping mankind.

tl;dr, all of satanism tells a sort of "alt narrative" where satan is either not real, or a good guy.

Indeed.

I always found it intriguing how pagan religions are similar in this: In most of them there is some kind of trickster God. He does not obey the rules but is the good guy (Prometheus) or at least not evil (Loki)

Satan is never given a chance to make his case. All you have is the bible which can be considered propaganda. In that sense, Satanists are for innocent until proven guilty, the right to a fair trial, and the underdog.

Like most other religions, it acts as some form of empowerment.

One form of Satanism Ive heard is about glorifying yourself and finding power for yourself, and that Satan was who faught for that individual right of freedom for power

But you're right, whenever I hear about it, I imagine the edgiest image of a person I can think of

The devil is kind of cute to be honest. Pic pretty much sums up how everyone wants to pick on the little guy.
