In that regard, I am like CoS.

I don't think you can really claim, 'this is what satanism is', because doing so is like being the Orthdox Church claiming, 'this is what Christianity is'; that claim is rubbish because it breaks away from reality.

This is what I consider to be fear-mongering. It's based on circular logic. You claim good is not concrete due to our personal bias, but is religion not also written and preached by people with a personal bias, even if a god or gods themselves came down to preach it? Nevertheless, you have reached the same conclusion I have a while ago; there is no such thing as good and bad, it is fictional. I have embraced this, and instead I have used a background in biological and social studies to claim that, "My faith is in organic life itself being able to self-regulate for our survival, as well as our standard of living." This moves beyond an archaic understanding of good and bad. I think chaos is far more worthwhile than whatever reality religion strives for. Chaos stands to oppose order. In most faiths, some sort of 'heaven'-esque afterlife represents order, but order to me is a lack of creativity. In that sense, chaos is great. Nature is chaotic, but it still finds a balance that is sustainable. Similarly, humanity finds a balance regardless of how much fear-mongering you buy into for the betterment of a highly selective group of people's pockets. Only when we break nature, through interest groups such as faiths, is the balance broken. I believe that if we trusted in ourselves far more we would recognise that this best world we can seek is not one controlled and strangled by order, but instead a world that finds a balance between the two where a higher standard of living is appreciated and sought after. A higher standard of living includes taking into account the needs of others, organic or inorganic, to ensure a healthier mentality towards the world and our universe.

Learn to forgive yourself too. It's very healthy, speaking from life experience.
