*groan* Oh, those wacky Satanists

[crowdog66]

Do you know what I'm discovering over on Yahoo! Answers?

That Satanists may have their fundies, too.

OMFG THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS NON-LAVEYAN SATANISM1!!1!1

*sigh*

I don't know how accurate the poster's opinion is, but it's not much fun getting your head bitten off over an honest question. I'm sure I've been guilty of doing it in my time. That doesn't make it suck any less.

And yes, I have heard people describe their path as "theistic Satanism". This makes me dread taking the next step, which is to go onto some actual Satanist message boards and start asking questions.

(Research for Where Darkness Falls, in case anyone was wondering.)

No matter what religion, it is bound to have a nutjob in it, no matter what it is. I think it's almost a given, that there's going to be crazies in any group, be it doctors, roleplay gamers, lawyers, people of faith, or Indian chiefs, there's going to be at least one crazy to keep things from getting too comfortable.

I think every group has their fundies! And they sure don't put the "fun" in "fundie"..grroan..sorry.

If it's not too late, I'd love to be one of the lucky few to read the draft of your first few chapters of "Darkness Falls"..it sounds fantastic.

I've met some honest-to-goodness non-Laveyean Satanists in my time, and I've found them to be pretty universally stupid.

I mean, this isn't a nineteenth-century French symbolist novel. Leaving my Catholicism entirely aside, worshiping the Adversary is just moronic.
