Does it actually exist? The church of Satan states openly that, \u201cSatanism respects and exalts life.\u00a0 Children and animals are the purest expressions of that life force, and as such are held sacred and precious&#8230;\u201d Thus, as mentioned above, no human sacrifices.\u00a0 The majority of Satanists simply follow a lifestyle involving the Satanic statements and rules, while avoiding the Satanic sins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Many authors, almost all conservative Christians, have described alleged satanic rituals.\u00a0 They almost always involve desecration of stolen religious symbols, black masses, inverted crosses or reciting prayers backwards.\u00a0 \u00a0This is pure fiction that can be traced back to books written during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance periods particularly The Malleus Maleficarum (The Witches Hammer).\u00a0 \u00a0In the 15<sup>th<\/sup> and 16<sup>th<\/sup> centuries the Catholic Church theorized that Satan worship existed and was a massive threat.\u00a0 This gave rise to the Witch burnings that have come to be termed the burning times or alternatively the female holocaust.\u00a0 Belief about Satanism turned into an imaginary religion that was the opposite of Christianity.\u00a0 These elements continue to surface today in conservative Christian anti-Satanic and anti-Wiccan hate literature.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">We have established so far that there is a religion known as Satanism and that most, if not all of the adherents, are hedonist atheists intent upon acting upon their most basic desires.\u00a0 An anonymous writer once said that Satanism was the religion of the American boardroom but for the most part this does not involve any weird or evil practices because most Satanists simply practice a lifestyle that involves indulgence and gratification.\u00a0 A very small number of individuals have drawn on the vast amount of anti-Satanic literature and created their own version of Satanism that does include anti-Christian practices.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Consequently, where does this information leave Muslims?
