Which of The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth do you believe in?

submitted by Gravi from self.AskSaidIt

  1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

  2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

  3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

  4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

  5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

  6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

  7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

  8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

  9. Do not harm little children.

  10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

  11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

I like the spirit of this one, but I think would add some conditions. If you spot an injured animal that is suffering and dying, then putting it out of its misery is an act of mercy, but I agree with not causing needless suffering to innocent creatures

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

My rule I think is a more general one, I never start shit with people, but always retaliate if they start it, kind of like 3 and 4 as well

Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

This one seems like rational self-interest rather than a moral, but its sensible

This reads like something a bunch of DND nerds came up with in their parents basement.

When in another’s lair, When walking in open territory, Acknowledge the power of magic

So, murder is ok but mouse traps are not.

This is so cringe.

I personally believe in the 3rd one, 5th one, 6th one, 9th one, 10th one and 11th one, of course not literally but close to their original meanings.

I agree with all but 6 and 7.

None of them

These are contradictory. Some say love your neighbor as yourself, others say kill those who disagree. I very much approve of the first kind but disapprove of the second.
