I agree, his writing is on par with a decent internet troll who can write about as well as Lovecraft.

[The figure of Cthulhu appears.]


I don't think I really need to comment about this, but stupidity, pretentiousness, self-deceit. and counterproductive pride are all satanic sins. Teaching that you can summon this ancient being that was invented in the 20th century by Lovecraft does not help their case.

Recent Church of Satan news from their official website:
June 29 - Theory and practice clarification regarding drug use
June 23 - RIP George Carlin
June 20 - Summer Solstice and...


Is this really as important as religious doctrine? The ninth satanic sin is "Lack of aesthetics".

On this same news page I read about the Church of Vrilology giving a rune chanting workshop. A quick look at their website made me thinking of them as the Church of VriLOLogy: http://www.vrilology.org/

Concerning the white supremacist claims, I can say that LaVey did record a rendition of "Dixie" for his 1995 album "Satan Takes A Holiday".

My greatest hope for the Church of Satan is that they don't take themselves seriously.
