2. Pretentiousness�Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn�t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone�s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.
3. Solipsism�Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won�t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of �Do unto others as they do unto you.� It�s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.
4. Self-deceit�It�s in the �Nine Satanic Statements� but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it�s fun, and with awareness. But then, it�s not self-deceit!
