The Church of Satan
A fairly high profile affiliation that Linguascelesta holds, and rarely if ever makes any attempt to conceal. Furthermore, he is proud to be numbered amongst the ranks of the Church's Hierarchy, as he was elevated to the Second Degree thereof, taking up the title of "Warlock" that had been offered to him, Walpurgisnacht (30th of April, May Eve) last year.
For those who know little or nothing about the Church of Satan, it is recommended that you click the link below and find out. Better the Devil you know, eh?
To give a very brief overview, the Church of Satan is an organization, now over 40 years old, dedicated to the championing of Satanic ideals.
Chances are, you know members of the Church already, even if you're not a member yourself and don't knowingly know any members. You might not know them well, but you'll know them. You'll probably know Citizens of the Infernal Empire, and look up to them, because they are things that you are not, and would like to be. They'll be intelligent, well-dressed, well-paid, polite, charming. They'll be having a great time, and loving their life, and living it very well, and responsibly too.
A far cry from the half-dead pseudo-Satanist teenager wannabes.
Satanists laugh at silly superstitions, and scorn the herd who have a ridiculous image of creepy blood-drinking, baby-eating, virgin-sacrificing, devil worshippers. We're simply not like that at all, and adherents of Satanism are generally more law-abiding than followers of other religions. We advocate the idea of responsibility to the responsible, and we call for more hard-line treatment of criminals.
We are materialistic rational hedonists. We don't believe in God, and, which will really confuse some, nor do we believe in a Devil. That would be silly. Satan is many things, but an anthropomorphic quasi-deity God-defying being is most certainly not one of them. Symbols are an important part of religion. Mistaking the map for the territory, on the other hand, is a fatal mistake made by many, who then waste their lives in the service of some non-existent deity.
The Earth is Satan's domain, and the meek shall not inherit it, because we love it and we're keeping it.
And we have a Hell of a good time, doing so!
Hail Satan!
