Libertine is right.
I once had problems with a sheer a-hole of a Reverend in the Satanic Church—musician Thomas Thorn, formerly of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and now his own act, the Electric Hellfire Club. The guy started hitting on my ex-girlfriend online; she was all star struck that this has-been musician of a band she kinda liked was all into her. He was trying to convince her to meet him (he can't enter Canada due to a criminal record) and was sending her naked pics and telling her she was the only woman he thought of (he went and got married during this time without even telling her). I've never seen another person be as manipulative and self-interested as him; he'd try and turn everything to make himself a victim and get more attention from her. I thought this was all a personality trait, but in researching the Satanic Church and LaVey I found out this kind of behaviour is church doctrine and at the core of its teachings. It's all about selfishness, and I'm sure LaVey (like Ayn Rand and L.Ron Hubbard) created their followings in order to justify their own misgivings.
In retrospect, the ex and Thorn were made for each other.
