I Really Dunno What to Say

One story is weird.  Two stories...well, I dunno.

Satanist Church Rents Out Oklahoma City Civic Center for Exorcism

Satanic group re-forms under new name with plans for public event in Oklahoma City

The Church of the IV Crown Princes

and now from the great nation of Canada:

Satanist low-key about impact on campaign
Scott Robb could have a devil of a time winning a seat in October's civic election.

The 31-year-old security officer is the founder of the Darkside Collective, which he believes is the first Canadian-based satanic church.

"I have been a practising Satanist since 1996. I briefly joined the Church of Satan in San Francisco in 1997 and quit there in February 2000 and started my own church."

Robb, one of five Ward 4 council candidates, compared his group's beliefs to psychological improvement or Buddhism rather than the occult activities of popular culture.
For example, their black magic involves letting out emotions such as anger through ritual so they won't be open to emotional outbursts, he explained.

Satan represents the forces of nature, and the self is the highest embodiment of human life, according to the group's website.

Members stand for law and order, rejecting any connection to "pseudo-Satanists" or devil worshippers, who are known to engage in illegal activities, the website says.

They also oppose most beliefs of Christian dogma, such as forgiving easily, said Robb, who holds the title of high priest.

"If someone wrongs us, we use our curse words to expel the anger or whatever upsets us ... and then we completely ignore that individual."

The church doesn't have a building or hold weekly rituals. Most contact between the roughly 100 members in North America, Europe and Australia occurs on the Internet, Robb said...

You know, most atheists do just fine without this. A ton of people go the neo-pagan route. But these do not, for whatever reason, suit you. You choose to worship the Lord of the Lie, the murderer from the beginning, the enemy of God, the human race, and all that's good.

Why? And why should we trust you?
