>>64Have you looked much into groups besides JoS? You're acting like JoS is the only one dedicated to self-advancement, which is demonstrably false. A bunch of Maxine's stuff is copied from other (non-Satanist) places, anyway.
I just think that if there's going to be a board about Satanism, it should be about Satanism as a whole (and yes I even mean LaVey in addition to those other groups listed above, though I'm not particularly fond of him and his teachings are indeed pretty entry-level).
I know you might wanna insist that JoS is the "one true Satanism" or something but to do that and attempt to marginalize all other sects and branches is to promote herd conformity in much the same way Abrahamic religions do.
People can discuss whatever they want on the board, and discussion may tend toward JoS, but those links at the top of the page that point exclusively to JoS pages, claiming that they're "all you need" as if they somehow sum up all of Satanism seem like a problem. Perhaps it would be better to have links pointing to the websites of multiple varieties of Satanism, rather than just one as if it's the only kind practiced?
I think most Satanists can agree that individualism and free thought are important focal points. To whore up one variety of Satanism as if it's the only kind while not giving people an opportunity to explore other kinds seems antithetical to these ideals.
