I. STUPIDITY-The Psuedo-Satanist never knows what he's talking about. At his best, he reads things verbatim. At his worst, he gives his version of what he thinks something means. In the end, stupidity seems to be the most prevalent trait among the P.S. I imagine this has something to do with the innate stupidity of 98% of humanity.

II. PRETENTIOUSNESS-Hand someone a book that says "Man is God" or "The strong shall inherit the Earth" and they will almost invariably think that THEY are the subject of the book. It seems that Great Black Magicians are a dime-a-dozen these days, but Great Accomplishments are few and far between. Naturally, the would-be Rasputins all have convenient excuses for their failure to come up with the goods. Lao-Tzu once said "Those who know don't speak. Those who speak don't know". The Psuedo-Satanist speaks a lot.

III. HERD AESTHETICS-Slap a pentagram on something these days and someone will buy it. Slap it on enough things and it'll become fashionable. Pentagrams do not a Satanist make. In some cases it's an imagery fixation, in others it's trendiness. It doesn't matter much to those who are selling the stuff. Beware of people who follow "modern" trends in anything, whether they call themselves Satanists or simpletons.

IV. A NEED FOR DEBATE-These guys always feel it necessary to argue about things like "Is Satanism Fascist?" or "Should Satanists be allowed to have sex with buffalo?". The answers are right there under their noses, but they refuse to see them. They always want to discuss and debate...and waste time. There is absolutely no reason to indulge them in their infantile needs for attention. Ignore them, or tell them to fuck off and die.
