DICE-As-Theologia
DICE is, in the traditional sense, a cult, with its own hierarchy, an atmosphere of tightly-held beliefs, and the secular godhead of it (Mortis, the founder, leader, and Godhead of DICE). It also has its own unique belief system that is somewhere between Laveyan Satanism (atheistic satanism) and Monotheistic Egoism, that is seriously under-analyzed when talking about DICE, which the only thing about them being analyzed is the problems within the group, which I also latched on to. Explaining the belief system of DICE will give us a better understanding of DICE-As-Theology, and DICE-As-Philosophy.
DICE, as a theology, worships the pleasures of its members, and their own individual selves through one imperfect but blessed godhead. It is a decentralized worship that places it’s conception of god through a deity-via-prophet-via-leader lens. The deity-via-prophet-via-leader conception recognizes the prophet as leader, and (unlike abrahamic religions that view the prophet as not god) as, in fact the Deity and Ruler of life. This concept of deity-via-prophet-via-leader also informs it’s hierarchy: leaders act as proxies, or agents of Mortis, and they judge who gets in DICE and who doesn’t, in a basis of unlikability and their feelings towards Mortis. Getting into DICE is a hard task, since being a DICE member requires instant and unflinching devotion to Mortis, the self-declared Godhead of DICE.
DICE has an indirect Laveyan influence in the aesthetic and theological elements. Our own ego is subsumed in Mortis, and through the interference of Mortis, our egos are represented through the traditional abrahamic concept of God. The difference from Laveyan Satanism is that while Laveyan Satanism is atheistic, in that they use Satan/Lucifer/Moloch as a symbol of liberty, and not a point of worship, DICE is monotheistic, in that they use Mortis as both a symbol of liberty, and a point of worship.
Mortis, to DICE congregation, is also an imperfect god, casting the flaws of the congregation. God wraps around the mindset and personality of Mortis, and the DICEian god is a self-hating and manipulative God that seeks power and fame, via the attention of people outside of the religion. A quick look through Mortis’s youtube community page shows this:
