A little contradiction there, don't you think? If you want to get into a theological discussion, be my guest.
How's that a contradiction? You have to understand here that the term "Satan" represents human nature, human desires. What they mean here is that the Christian church has always tried to surpress and condem those human desires. Without doing that, the christian church probably wouldn't have survived. So in a way, "Satan" (read: human nature) has kept the church in business for all these years.

The church of satan literature yaps about how they hate Christinaity and small minded stuff, yet they talk about it.
Because someone hates small-minded stuff you can't talk about it? They talk about it because Christianity, to this day, rules the lives of millions of people even if they're not Christian. Even if they've never encountered christian people in their entire lives. It has played a major part in creating todays moral values.

I have read the satanic bible, and that book is filled with more mumbo jumbo than the bible could ever conjure.
If that's the case, how could you possibly say that Satanists believe in god?

There is nothing wrong with loving yourself and doing things that please you, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. Satanists although promote indulgence and that the so-called sins lead to gratification... ok, then if that is the case, is lying, murder, and other so-called sins of other religions an indulgence?
Just because Satanists are trying to explain that Christianity has surpressed human desires as a whole, does not mean that any random sin from any random religion is by definition an indulgence. Just because Satanists promote indulging in human desires, does not mean they promote stupidity, lack of common sense, or going on some murderous rampage just because you feel like it. You should know this as it is all clearly explained in the Satanic Bible.

On the topic of "hell," I've never seen any scientific evidence of any afterlife whatsoever, and until I do, I will dedicate my life to my life, and not to reaching some vaguely defined perfect place I go to when I'm dead. Most people have extremely low standards when it comes to scientific proof of some sort of afterlife.
