Is the Satanic Bible worth a quick read?
No edgy or anything I heard it had decent philosophies on living

sure why not, if it satisfies your curiosity
it's basically shit though

I read in in high school while I was going through a rebellious phase. It has ups and downs.
Pros:
Basically just says to live your life to be happy. Even if you have the weirdest fetishes or are a complete misanthrope you can find people you belong with as long as you are not harming anyone.
Also talks a lot about how to deal with negative influences and the best ways to cut them and the unhappiness out of your life.
Cons:
A lot of the time it reads like red pill.
Denies religion and spirituality but then talks about magic (they use "magic" as a mindset, not something supernatural)
Rituals...... stupid
IDK, I would say it's worth a read, but take it with a grain of salt.
It's just another step in the "egotist" type philosophy.
Stirner ---> Nietzsche ---> Rand ---> Satanic Bible
Stirner did it best and Nietzsche was pretty good but it's been going downhill ever since.
So no, it's not worth it; Stirner and Nietzsche or even Rand are much better options if you are looking for that kind of philosophy.

It's a marketing scheme. The fucking book literally tell you that to be a Levayan Satanist you have to pay for membership to one of the "churches" and you're "better off not asking what they do with the money"

This desu. Just read Stirner.

Also if you want an edgy laugh read Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard:
>I dip my forefinger in the watery blood of your impotent mad-redeemer (your Divine
>Democrat — your Hebrew Madman) and write over his thorn-torn brow, “The true prince
>of Evil — the king of the Slaves!”
>No hoary falsehood shall be a truth to me — no cult or dogma shall encramp my pen.
>I break away from all conventions. Alone, untrammeled. I raise up in stern invasion the
>standard of Strong.
>I gaze into the glassy eye of your fearsome Jehovah, and pluck him by the beard — I uplift
>a broad-axe and split open his worm-eaten skull.
>I blast out the ghastly contents of philosophic whited
>sepulchres and laugh with sardonic wrath.
>Then reaching up the festering and varnished facades of
>your haughtiest moral dogmas, I write thereon in letters of blazing
>scorn: — "Lo and behold, all this is fraud!"
