The Devil is in the Details

Apparently, it’s not just me who’s noticed an overabundance of Satanic Panic in this country An Aussie newspaper gives a bewildered-sounding account of our demonically-inspired countrymen in Satanism in South Africa

The only thing worse than having an enemy is not having one," says University of the Witwatersrand psychologist Gavin Ivey, who has published a paper on the phenomenon. "These guys are just a waste of taxpayers' money." As one enemy disappears, another has to be conjured up."

My friend Ariel Damon, over at SAPRA has been waging an on-again, off-again war with the like of the SAP’s occult unit

Frankly, they’re a bunch of clowns, without even a decent matinee in the offing, so I’m inclined to leave them to rot. Err…the occult unit, that is.

Who did you think I meant???

Malevolent Design?

Found an interesting online resource todayThe Revealer is concerned with news of the religious.

From our perspective, mostly.

‘Us’ being people who think that, frankly, the religious nutjobs are in danger of ending it for all humanity.

the possibility of an Evil Designer

The Designer who so Intelligently Designed our world, in theory, could be malevolent or capricious just as easily as he could be all good. He might have designed us intelligently, but for the purpose of watching us tear each others' throats out. He might have designed us intelligently, but on a whim, and then forgotten all about us. In theological terms, ID suggests forces operating upon the world from without, but it does not say whether that those forces are good or evil. You could hypothesize, for example, that a Satanist could step forward to support ID. Yes, the world shows evidence of an intelligent designer, but one with a sick sense of humor. Therefore, the Satanist might conclude, Intelligent Design is correct, and we should worship the Devil, since the world seems more like his handiwork than the Other Guy's.

…..Or that of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it is needless to add on this blog.

Frankly, I’m rather found of Cthulhu,as, unlike the Christian God, one knows where one stands with this one. Going insane and being eaten, that is.
With Yaweh, you just never do know.

Kul Wahad

I am profoundly moved.
By some musicians, no less.

Since this is very unusual for me, I thought I'd better blog it. Gaia Consort .

Music for Freethinkers and Pagans. I have purchased their excellent CD 'Evolve'. Actually I bought it for Warren's birthday, but it failed to arrive in the post. Christopher was a gent, and sent me another, which we've just got, in time for my birthday.

And he refused to charge me for it.
