Oh, Grow Up

OK, this I don't need. You know, the one thing that annoys me more than holier-than-thou One True Way Abrahamites (Christians, Muslims and Jews)1 is the unholier-than-thou types that don't realize that they are Christian. This guy is a Satanist. Satanism is a Christian heresy, not a Pagan religion, and it has nothing to do with Witches.

Following Anton LeVey, modern Satanists have been more or less shock-seeking hedonists than anything else, and it really, really bugs me to see this guy claiming to represent Witches, and for that matter Pagans in general. Just like it must really bug many Christians to see Pat Robertson say, well, anything really. I mean, this Jonathan Sharkey guy wants to be a 42 year old Goth who can't get over his attempts to shock his parents' sensibilities, or a Darth Maul wannabe, that's fine. But it doesn't make him cool, or mature, or particularly useful.

1I should note that I do not mean all Christians, Muslims and Jews. I mean the ones who think that anyone not following their religion exactly means that you will be punished by God, and hey, as a believer in God, they should take it into their own hands to punish you here and now. You know, the real theocrats, not the imagined ones of the Left.

Fine, the guy doesn’t know fully what he is talking about... but you’ve got to admit, impaling terrorists and other evil doers is not a bad idea.

Yeah, you have to give the guy props for honesty and bold positions. I can even see the bumper stickers: "Why vote for the lesser of two evils?"

Witches can be of any Religion (Excluding Christianity, Muslim, Jewism, Islam and such). Yes, I believe Satanism to be complete utter bullshit.

"Witches can be of any Religion (Excluding Christianity, Muslim, Jewism, Islam and such)"???!!! OK, I'm quite curious what your definition of "witch" is, then.
