Is Social Media Ruining Comedy? – The New Yorker Controversy has always been the lifeblood of comedy. The best comedy has to be offensive, or at least offensive to someone, to prove that it is good. —Magister David Harris

When Napoleon botched his invasion of Russia, he said, “It’s just a step between the sublime and the ridiculous.” The same goes for russophiles and russophobes. The former we have seen in the inane writings of Pat Buchanan (who is most likely on FSB payroll), and the latter we have seen in the fiery blog of La Russophobe (who is probably an expat of Russia). The recent PBS Frontline documentary on Putin is not necessarily about Putin. It’s about the hyper-corrupt culture of Russia and historical geopolitical policies, of which Putin is a product. (There’s a reason Europe has always […]
Upon leaving Georgia, the Devil stopped in Tennessee. After his back-masked “toothbrushes are evil” message on the latest Charlie Daniels album he wanted something different. And so he decided to market his wares to schoolkids via brake light advertising. Were there only one complainant we could dismiss this story as a dispatch from Crazy Town. Alas, it appears many are debating whether or not this is an accident or a “subliminal pagan message.” (Wouldn’t that be “soap and gainful employment is evil?” I kid, I kid.) So we’re now looking once again at popular delusion and the madness of crowds. […]
Moderates of all faiths need to realize that the extremists among them are a cancer that needs to be cut out and removed. And the best treatment for this cancer is ridicule. Bravo to Mayor Aboutaleb. —Magister David Harris
A sure sign of rational modern day Satanism! The eldest member of the notorious Marquis de Sade dynasty (author of the scandalous “The 120 Days of Sodom” and “Justine”) is laying claim to the infamous libertine’s title two centuries after his death. Elzear de Sade said the family is no longer ashamed of their controversial ancestor and has reclaimed the title of Marquis, not used since 1814. “The family cut all ties with him after his death and when anyone asked, they would say they had nothing to do with him, pretending they were form another branch. Today we are […]
Newsweek recently ran an article entitled “The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin” which looked at how mistranslated their Bible is; how the story of Jesus was added to and revised by scribes, emperors, and committees hundreds of years after the supposed events took place; and how disagreements on the “Holy Word” lead to bloodshed. Needless to say, the article upset many American Christians. I guess the truth really does hurt. As Satanists, we understand that the Bible is mythology and is no more truth than the stories of Zeus, Odin, Amon-Ra, or even Satan. We don’t need such Bronze […]
As the American revolution was underway and having made a clean break from the Church of England, the Founding Fathers drafted a radical new concept in the US Constitution, America’s founding social contract. It would completely eliminate ties between religion and state while paradoxically ensuring that all beliefs and opinions could be protected through the law. So important was this idea that they drafted it as America’s first and termed it “The Establishment Clause.” Thus we can see the link between Americanism and Satanism, as America’s ideals were to establish a “Neo-Darwinian arena of ideas” as described in The Satanic Scriptures.

Rise From The Ashes Of Cowardice Let this be a wake up call to EVERYONE trying to make it in the entertainment business. There has never been a better time to step up and take what is ours. Fuck networks, fuck studios, fuck polite society. They will not stand by your vision, because your vision is dangerous! Create your vision, and release it yourself. Networks & studios have just rendered themselves irrelevant with their cowardice. Fuck them. You don’t need them, their money, or their promotional machine. You can do it on your own if you want to. It’s not […]
Be a good Christian, Hate the Gays What irks me about these kinds of stories is that people at large deny that these “hate mongers” are absolutely correct. Their faith does say that we are filthy and we will burn in Hell for all of eternity. The revisionists who claim that Christianity is strictly about love seem to forget that they are ordered to be witnesses and spread the Gospel in order to show their love for their neighbor. I like the way Fred Phelps put it “I can’t say that I love my neighbor without telling them that they are sinning, making […]
