If they die in their heresy, they will wish they had never been born. I think they already wish they had never been born.
I don't think they know enough to feel that way.
They think God's word is a joke. They don't believe a word of it. Which is why they abuse it.
Anton LaVey was a carnival huckster. Then he claimed to later be a Satanist.
He was a liar and a fool. A con man and an opportunity. And a pervert whocsired a son on his daughter during a "black rite".
Avon books approached him during the 6p's when the hippie movement was just getting started. They asked if his "church" also had its own Bible. And would be be interested in writing one.
He did. Sort of. By plagiarizing the writings of Nietzsche,Ayn Rand,a huge hypocrite if her own ideology,and a racist whose pen name was Ragnard Redbeard and his work, "Might is Right".
Interjecting his own commentary,reworking the aforementioned authors original work, Howard Levy,aka Anton, produced that Satanic Bible.
He made and squandered a fortune between book sales and Church of Satan membership fees. If a memberostvtheir little red membership card they owed the fee again. $200.00 at one time.ukely more now because CoS is pretty much a punchline now. It was always a joke.
They're self avowed Atheist Hedonists.
Atheists, who claim to revere the antithesis of ......God! Exploiting the moral code of the Judeo-Christian faith through indulgence in the antithesis is stupid.
They're immoral unbelieving perverted sinners. Period. Claiming the name of a religions enemy makes them boogymen.
Anyway. Anton later contracted cancer. He died in a Christian hospital. His last witnessed words were of terror at what his fading worldly consciousness saw waiting.
The point of that protracted screed is, the enemies of Christ think this life is a game. They play with what others hold holy and dear. Because they don't believe in what they're mocking. They have no joy in life. Except to bait and goad Christians.
Just like LaVay.
When the time comes for their consciousness to depart this world unless God chooses to intervene they'll realize the error of their ways.
Too late.
Just like Howard.
