Please don't get me wrong: I've no shame about being a Satanist and I am strongly considering getting tattoos to show my pride in this faith. However, I'm sort of private. I'll tell folks I am a Satanist and proud to be one if they ask or if the situation calls for it but overall, I'm mute on this.
So...would this be accepted as a Theistic Satanist or should I be more forthcoming about this?

I'll check with The High Priest...

"For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of Satan? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Satan".
Thanks for your responses guys! I live in a Red State where being a Satanist is gonna be a problem especially where I work.
I did see in another forum recently where a Satanist said they are also selective in revealing their Satanic affiliations. One guy said he wears his Satanic jewelry under his shirt at work but when he's out and about, he wears it proudly. This has been my approach lately. I wear my favorite inverted cross every day to work but it's under my shirt and when I leave, its out.
I also agree with you FollowTheMorningStar - I don't think Satan would want me to lose my job or family. I think He'd want me to express my devotion in anyway possible. I do know that at some point, my faith will be on display and I know some people are going to have issues with it but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I have a strong feeling that the more I get into all things Satanic, the stronger I will be to be able to weather any blowback I may get.

Other than some minor things, I don't care who knows I am a satanist. If they were to discriminate me based on religious beliefs, I'd take them to court. Church and state should be separate always and lucky for me, I live in a liberal af county and city. And plus the school system touts diversity and inclusion of all, so I am never worried one bit.
Question though - what kind of job do you have that makes you feel you have to hide the essence of who you supposedly are!? Is this even a job worth subjecting yourself to?

I don't even consider myself a Satanist, but in the extraordinary league of online writing forums this is where I find myself, but why? Because sometimes I like to combine music and writing, talk like Tommy in Goodfellas, or pugilize passive aggressive parasites, and I don't care for any of that deleting of posts or locking of threads on the mainstreams.
Blogs are fucking boring and along my path of purging and converging where activities are diminished and freedoms augmented this is where one might find themselves depending on few variable factors, and surprisingly enough, it's one of the more active options amongst the fewest of the few, so, give the Devil his due.
