What are their core beliefs?

Satanists? they're typically rationalists and hedonists. Levay just used "Satanism" to be an attention whore and seem edgy to get followers

ironically, i bet they lose out on a lot of following today b/c of the name. the connotation is horrible, but the philosophy isn't too bad

Interesting. These are their rules. Most are pretty good

quote:

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

LaVey thought Satan as theological concept was beyond stupid, and humiliated those who came to him thinking it wasn't.

The Church of Satan were really just hedonists who got a kick out of shocking people.

and the funny part is, their philosophy is far more rational than anything else being peddled by groups at those schools

And they practiced cannibalism. But yeah, we'll just walk past that one.

They do sound a lot like what you seem to perceive, but something tells me it gets a lot different when a person becomes heavily involved.
