Importance of Literacy in a Book Review, 27 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This isn't so much a review as it is a critical look at one of the "Doc's" detractors:On June 2, 1998 midnightmagick@hotmail.com stated: "LAVEY IS NOTHING BUT A LIER! " First of all, it's spelled "liar". Second, the glorification of the "self" is an oft overlooked philosophy, which is something most religions are--it's called "theosophy". I wish I could give you a break, kind sir, but the only Satanists who "wine" are connoisseurs of said beverage and "whining" is something that you, Mr. Magick, are extremely adept at! And if that's not bad enough, you said "wine" twice--once is a typo, the second time reveals an intellect below a 5th grade reading level. For someone who boldly states "I am a Wiccan" and "disagree with Christianity" you sure seem quick to defend a religion that considers YOU a "heretic." Next, I would like to answer these following questions: Q. What religion came first (a) satanism or (b) christianity? A. That would be "Which religion" and as to the one that "came first", well, most of us stopped playing that game when we graduated from grade school. Q. What is the name of the opposing force, the evil force in christianity? A. LaVey clearly states in his manifesto that Satan is a "concept" and is as far removed from the "Satan" of Christianity as the "Easter Bunny" is in the Resurrection of Christ. And please don't refer to me as "peopel"; here in the land of "coherent statements" we refer to ourselves as "people", some of us even consider ourselves "individuals." If it is indeed true that LaVey created Satanism as a controversey, then why are YOU causing such an uproar? If you are going to use a literary forum such as amazon.com for your pulpit, at least you could have the common courtesy to master your syntax and grammar first. Hail Satan! --Bear23
