But of course the ‘Church of Satan’ has a website. And of course it includes a ‘latest news’ page.
Part of our responsibility as watchers on the wall is to notice such things and monitor their impact on our faith, our families, our culture and society, and our hearts and minds.
In the latest news from the Church of Satan website I noted a promo for a book by Thomas Denis called Survival—How Becoming a Satanist Saved My Life. Yeah, probably not on a book that would be on very many Christmas gift idea lists, right?
Anyway, Mr. Denis says this about his book: Survival—How Becoming a Satanist Saved My Life is my autobiography on how living the Satanic philosophy gave me the strength not only to survive significant abuse of every imaginable horror, loss, suicide, family addiction and sexual assault, but also succeed at levels that would have been impossible to achieve without the Satanic philosophy. I have travelled the world, am a community leader and a leader in a major corporation, and have enjoyed the hedonistic lifestyle.
So the ‘Satanic philosophy’ gave the author the strength to survive a bunch of horrible stuff – suicide, sexual assault etc. – which all originate from Satan in the first place? Doesn’t make much sense.
I’m not sure what community Denis is a ‘leader’ in but I’m sure glad I don’t live there while he’s enjoying the ‘hedonistic lifestyle’ and worshipping the father of lies.
