Rebuttal for the Church of Satan

by ceph

This is a rebuttal for the URL: http://www.totse.com/en/religion/satanists/satnorg.html

A few items need to be addressed about this article.

1. The founder of the Church of Satan was Anton (not anthony) Szandor Lavey. Aleister Crowley had no affiliation with it.
2. The type of members vary far too greatly to be able to classify them into any categories. they could be anything from students to buger king employees to the president or even the pope. they (the church of satan) hold no prejudice against people. there is no background check or one year probation period. there are no levels a member can work into. you become a member, and if you wish to be active, you may.
3. "Number Churches: 600 in U.S. and another 100 abroad. Church Government: The Mother Church (International Headquarters) is in East Berlin, Germany, and in Amsterdam."---this was pulled out of thin air. it holds no credibility.
4. Covens are for tree-hugging hippies. there are no such things as covens in the satanic religion/philosophy. grottos maybe, but no covens.
5. The paragraph beginning with "The Church is governed by the Council of 13 which is made up of 12 men from our White House and one man from the Russian government." is another creation of imagination. I would like to know where this comes from. our white house??? seriously, try to make sense here.
6. This is in regards to this comment: "He currently holds classes on cannibalism, ceremonial magic, and how to perform rituals. He is also teaching Wicca and mind control. "
   yet another childhood drawing. wicca has absolutey no affiliation with satanism. I know that according to christianity they are all satan's religions, but it's like saying ghandi taught glass blowing in southwest canada. it's all lies created to form an image that a certain individual(s?) want people to hold. Anton Szandor Lavey is dead. he held no classes on wicca or mind control. the creator of this little mind fuck is a word whore.

I am writing this to clear up at least a little misinformation. this article is a cancer, spreading and eating away with it's consuming idiocy. do not be fooled by it.
