Funny
story in today's NY Daily News. "Satanists" are about to hold a Black
Mass at Harvard University. Mind you, they're not "real" Satanists, just
fun-loving atheists. (I doubt there's such a thing as a real Satanist.
Just saying.)
Check out the story for further details.
I love the reaction of the Catholic archdiocese of Boston. They
must take these things seriously, doncha know. Keeps the rubes in line.
All this talk about Satan has spooked the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Boston issued a statement blasting the
Satanists’ scheduled demonstration and announced plans to conduct a
“Holy Hour” during the same time at a nearby church.
“For the good of the Catholic faithful and all
people, the Church provides clear teaching concerning Satanic worship,”
the statement read.
“This activity separates people from God and the human community, it is
contrary to charity and goodness, and it places participants
dangerously close to destructive works of evil.”
Yadda,
yadda, yadda. The devil isn't real, folks, and neither is god. The
church makes believe both are real because it keeps those donations
flowing in. And that gives them more money to fight gay marriage and
keep women subservient.
Religion is a destructive
fairytale that blinds believers to the true nature of reality. And when
it is not shackled by laws that prevent it from dominating secular
society, it establishes a theocracy and becomes a savage, de facto
prison for all humanity. Religion is the opposite of rationality and
creativity. It stifles and suffocates and obfuscates. It is the most
evil invention of mankind.
