The bottom line behind the church of Satan, if you take the time to read their materials like I have, is that they do not actually believe in any Satan but that they are simply mocking the religious systems.

The following video is of Anton Lacey, the founder of the church of Satan in San Francisco

This is true. But I have no doubt that it's orchestrated by the real devil to false flag Christian virtues as Satanic.

Obey or feel gods wrath isn't exactly a profound moral teaching

That's not how it was framed by the original Christians. That was when the church took over. Another problem is that in the ancient languages most often it merely says "anger" rather than "wrath". And a lot of times "of God" was added later.

The Old Testament indeed sometimes had the "OBEY" attitude. That's because human authors perceived it that way. Everyone forgets that people wrote all these books and acts like God dropped them out of the sky. That's literally what I thought as a kid because that's how they make it sound. This is true of every single book. None are attributed to God or Jesus, even by tradition. Always one of their disciples.
