The Church of Satan is in no way connected with the Christian/Islam/Jewish Satan. The Church of Satan is a religion that believes in self freedom. They do not hurt children, animals, lie, cheat, or steal. They have rules against this. The Church of Satan believes that all children are sacred and shouldn't be harmed in anyway. Animals should only be killed in protection or for food. You cannot kill people unless it is in self defense. Yet again I stress, 'Satan' is not the Christian Satan. Just because a word means something in your religion doesn't mean it means the same thing in another.
