You might worship Satan because you hate God.
You have free will, thats fine but if you don't play by God's rules you end up burning forever in hell. Is that really free will? You can do whatever you want just keep it in mind that I will torture you for all eternity if you do not do what I want.
Maybe like Satan you want to say that I will live my life on my own terms and by my own standards. You want to perhaps say that God is irrelevant to morality and it is up to every individual human being to decide what is right or wrong. I will not serve is the beggining of satanism. If you think you are serving Satan does that defeat the purpose of rejecting God.
Or perhaps like myself you believe there is no god. Both God and Satan may just be illusions but this is not a question of their existence. It is why you would serve either of them.
Essentially being Good must be about doing so from your own perspective or you are really just acting out of fear or desire for reward. The decision to do the right thing should be irrelevant to our own personal desires it should be what is the best thing I can do for all. I know I can't live up to all that myself but it is worth a shot.
As for the black make up crowd, one day the acne will go away.
The people who like butchering goats, well I suppose Jerry Springer needs to guests from somewhere.
The question of what is good should not depend upon with a flair for melodrama. Satanism seems to be a question of why go this way rather than the other way.
