Love Thy Enemy? Not so fast.

I don't hesitate to hate & wish harm upon those who act in ways to offend me deliberately. These are enemies. My enemies give me no reason to feel anything but hatred & disdain for them. Conversely, my love and appreciation for people & things I value is ever-expanding. I call this "healthy discrimination," essential for the natural balance leading towards a vital existence.

How could I show another the spires of my love if I can't recognize the pits of my hatred? Furthermore, what value would "love" have from one who refuses to discern it from hate? The Satanist understands the importance of maintaining great polarity between love & hate, utilizing each as best served.

Do yourself the favor of unleashing your hatred on those who deserve it, and you will love & be loved all the more passionately.

"Love one another" it has been said is the supreme law, but what power made it so? Upon what rational authority does the gospel of love rest? Why should I not hate mine enemies and hunt them down like the most vicious of all beasts that they are? If I "love them does that not place me at their mercy?
Is it natural for enemies to do good unto each other--and WHAT IS GOOD?
Can the torn and bloody victim "love" the blood-splashed jaws that rend him limb from limb?
Are we not all predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist?
Is not "lust and carnal desire" a more truthful term to describe "love" when applied to the continuance of the race? Is not the "love" of the fawning scriptures simply a euphemism for sexual activity, or was the "great teacher" an emasculated milksop who glorified eunuchs?
Love your enemies and do good to them that hate and spitefully use you is the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon its back when kicked!
Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law!
He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog!
Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom--with compound interest liberally added thereunto! Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold! Make yourself a Terror to your adversary, and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over! Thus shall you make yourself respected in all the walks of life, and your spirit-- your immortal spirit--shall live, not in an intangible paradise, but in the brains and sinews of those whose respect you have gained!
-The Satanic Bible, Book of Satan, Verse III, by Anton Szandor LaVey
