Those who identify as Saganists do not consider themselves to be human beings, preferring the term "non-human entity". They reject humanity, as the human race contains far too much stupidity and evil, so humanity is ignored altogether. The only thing a Saganist has in common with humans is biology. It starts and ends there.
The Saganist is heavily influenced by the teachings of Anton LaVey and appreciates many aspects of his Satanic Bible. However, a Saganist does not recognise Satanism as a religion. It is possible for a Saganist to appreciate the role which religion can play in the lives of human beings, but a Saganist does not accept that religion is anything spiritual or supernatural. Religion is a coping mechanism for some of humanity, and a form of control for the rest. Religion, in essence, is simply a psychological tool, used by human beings to make their existence seem easier, or to try and keep a population under control. Religion often starts wars, or keeps them going for longer than they should, so the idea of Religion is rejected by a Saganist.
A Saganist does not recognise the police as a governing body. This is because a Saganist does not involve themselves in any unlawful or criminal activities, so they do not warrant any attention from institutions like the police. So in the mind of a Saganist, the police do not exist.
A Saganist will stop at nothing to protect themselves, their loved ones and defenceless animals. But they are never the aggressor. They are always on high alert for potential danger, casting eyes at all who pass, and they pride themselves on being a protector, remaining one step ahead of their enemies at all times. If a human being becomes violent towards a Saganist, the Saganist will first try to talk the aggressor down. If the aggressor continues to head towards violence, a warning is issued by the Saganist to stop. If violence is then implemented by the aggressor, the Saganist will respond with violence of their own. Mere words are not enough of a trigger for the Saganist - they will always walk away from a potential fight. But if the aggressor makes it impossible to avoid a fight, any actions undertaken by the Saganist after the initial violence from an aggressor is self defence. Preservation of the self is paramount to a Saganist, so self defence is vital.
Many Saganist are vegetarian or vegan, due to their love of animals. It is acceptable to eat meat however, that is responsibly sourced and not battery farmed. A meat-eating Saganist must familiarise themselves with slaughterhouse practices and be completely aware of, and comfortable with, where their meat is coming from. If they would not be happy to slaughter an animal they wish to eat, they should not be eating it at all. Alcohol is taken in moderation as a social lubricant, or not at all. The Saganist believes that being inebriated is utterly pointless. It makes people vulnerable to their enemies, wastes a lot of their money, and it literally poisons the liver and makes it work harder than it needs to. A Saganist does not abuse alcohol. They realise the delicate nature and balance of the human body. This makes them aware of the importance of moderation, in all scenarios where excess is possible.
A Saganist has undying self love. If one cannot love oneself, one cannot love at all. They see the importance of always striving to be the best version of themselves. Egoism is also something the Saganist greatly appreciates. There are no gods, no masters and no kings or queens. Saganist are their own deity and the centre of their own universe. If they choose to co-habit with another, a Saganist will choose very carefully, over a number of years. They look for someone who compliments their personality traits, or mirrors them. They are more attracted to vibrant personalities, rather than superficial beauty. They hold their chosen spouse in extremely high regard, and are completely devoted and loyal to them. A Saganist sees their spouse as their equal. Many Saganists will never bear children, instead choose the company of animals. A true Saganist recognises the overpopulation of planet earth, and does therefore not feel a need to contribute another life to it.
The Saganist understands and appreciates the concept of life on other planets. They also understand the importance of the environment and live as green of an existence as they can. They will attempt to leave the world in a better condition than they found it, be that environmentally speaking, or from the creation of beautiful things.
