Obviously, Blood Raiders and Satanism are hardly related. However, just as the Amarr religion is based upon the Catholic church, so too could Sanik Sabi be derived from Satanism, which in some ways is just an inversion of Christianity.
Take a look at the Nine Satanic statements and think how they might relate to an EVE corporation. I am
not trying to proselytize the church of Satan here, just use it as an example.
In the place of 'Satan', imagine they are saying 'The Red God'.
http://www.churchofsatan.com/nine-satanic-statements.php 1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!This is the so called 'left hand path' to spiritual enlightenment. God created the Universe and everything in it so that these things could be embraced and enjoyed, not feared and rejected. Eat, drink and be merry!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!Active participation in life (and ops), instead of fantasizing or reading about it. This might also apply to 'scrubs', moochers, carebears, and anyone else who is all talk and no action.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!Basically this means listening to and trusting your own body, or your inner voice. If you are a woman that is sexually attracted to other women, go for it! This is the path God has chosen for you.
Hypocritical self-deceit would be suppressing your sexual urges to try and fool yourself that those lesbian desires aren't real or your own, but coming from an 'evil' place or person outside of you.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!Essentially, this means 'earn my trust/ respect'. You can be kind to your corpies or fellow Blood Raiders, but deal with moochers and slackers harshly. It also means honoring ransoms.
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!Enough said. Pew pew.
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!No moochers. A drama queen would be an example of a 'psychic vampire'. If someone wants your help, they have to have proven themselves worthy first. Otherwise, it's the Darwin awards for them.
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!I'm not sure how this would apply to Blood Raiders, except that it is a call to embrace one's carnal nature. A Blood Raider is no better, and no worse than a Slaver hound. In fact, a Blood Raider is just the smartest, fastest, most vicious breed of Slaver hound there is.
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!For gratification, read 'enlightenment'.
Capsuleers are living Gods, or in some ways an extension of the true red God. Participation in orgies, blooding, cannibalism, drug use, etc. all of these lead to the wisdom that God must somehow approve, since these actions are often rewarded and seldom punished by an omnipotent and omniscient God. In other words, if God doesn't strike you dead, he must approve.
The orthodox Amarrians have convince their slaves that by following the path of abstinence, they shall be rewarded in the afterlife. Blood Raiders know this to be a lie. Look at how the slaves live versus how the Holders live! If the path of abstinence truly led to enlightenment, why haven't the Holders taken this path themselves? Why force it on their slaves?
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!This isn't really applicable to EVE. I suppose you could say that the Blood Raiders are the 'friends' of the Orthodox Amarrians because they hunt and kill off the weak Amarrians. This 'thinning of the herd' removes defective genes from the gene pool, and encourages the survivors to study PVP instead of mining. Without the help and guidance of the Blood Raiders, the Amarrians would not have developed into the strong militaristic empire that they are today.
