The Satanic bible Religious holidays br br 'The Satanist feels: "Why not really be honest and if you are going to create a god in br your image, why not create that god as yourself." Every man is a god if he chooses to br recognize himself as one. So, the Satanist celebrates his own birthday as the most br important holiday of the year. After all, aren't you happier about the fact that you were born br than you are about the birth of someone you have never even met? Or for that matter, aside br from religious holidays, why pay higher tribute to the birthday of a president or to a date in br history than we do to the day we were brought into this greatest of all worlds? br Despite the fact that some of us may not have been wanted, or at least were not particularly br planned, we're glad, even if no one else is, that we're here! You should give yourself a pat on br the back, buy yourself whatever you want, treat yourself like the king (or god) that you are, br and generally celebrate your birthday with as much pomp and ceremony as possible.
