I belief by now i can let the true nature run and continue the search for the disciples of truths -
"Called "The Black Pope" by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival:
"On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half-naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent-show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they'd be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence.
"I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man's carnal nature will out!"
From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966 -Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft - LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man's body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. " Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure," he said, "there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence..."

Another strange coincidence or synchronicity of timing. The last convo on MSN was an heated debate about Anton La Vey who was essentially a poor mans Aleister Crowley. Crowley himself is an enigma due to the fact that he was extremely talented in all forms of different fields, the football field , a reasonable poet, novelist, philosopher, metaphysician, astrologer and mountaineer. Until he led a group up a previously unmounted peak and scandalously left the weaker members to freeze to death whilst he carried on regardless. That was fairly typical of his ruthless streak. Normal etiquette is to go back and help your fellows. Crowley had no compunction in that regard but carried on regardless. BTW. you can always choose not to read Ravens posts just as you can switch over to another radio station, Mimi. ps. can you tell my voluble and rather Merrie protege, Mr. Madrigal to calm down a tad. The impetuosity of youth sometimes gets the better of him.
