I've read a fair amount of LaVey's stuff. I find him to be one of the most brilliant morons that ever lived. His daughter is hot, though. From what I think I understand, his "Satan" is merely our primal instinct: our basic desire for indulgences and excess, i.e. without that which separates us from animals, we are true Satanists. Meh... to me, that's just saying that self-control is a virtue best pushed aside, which I don't really agree with. I think self-control is, in many instances, a sign of strength.
