The web has made it easier than ever before to access information on Devil-worshiping and the occult, experts said.
Exorcism is the subject of a six-day conference being held this week at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome, which is under the Vatican’s authority.
“The internet makes it much easier than in the past to find information about Satanism,” said Carlo Climati, a member of the university who specialises in the dangers posed to young people by Satanism.
“In just a few minutes you can contact Satanist groups and research occultism.”
[...]
Organisers say the rise of Satanism has been dangerously underestimated in recent years.
“There’s been a revival,” said Gabriele Nanni, a former exorcist and another speaker at the course.
soundwash,
So was she a LaVey Satanist, one who worships themselves, or a literal Satanist, one who worships the Christian god Satan
The only thing I know about religions is that all of them are out to collect our money.
“Rolls in Rolls in, My God how the money rolls in!”
I’m not quite certain what this post is about. I keep getting lost staring at the hot blond . . .
GW Bush: Just Send Your Cash
“Call it what you want to, Satanism, Voo Doo, Clanism, Atheism, Wicca, Dianetology.”
So is Atheism the control group?
I don’t believe in satan.
Does that make me an atheist?
Seriously, who can comprehend an all powerful god who can’t control a few nasty angels?
Religion. Poop.
#1 – You missed the Easter bunny.
Animby. Perfect “rhetorical tautology” has been worked out by the Catholics: That’s right, YOU can’t comprehend the nature of God. Just believe he loves you and keep on tithing. -or- God loves you and gave you free will, so keep on tithing.
-0r- God “knows” what you are going to do but “averts” his attention so you can have free will and are therefore responsible to keep on tithing.
-OR- Shut Up Slave or you will roast in HELL if you don’t give us your tithe.
Then it really goes downhill.
I love the various protestant groups that try to conform religion and science. So cute in their ignorance of the scatology of their own faith, but they got the tithe thing down: give us ALL your money, and it will be returned 10 fold.
Ha, ha. Stoopid Hoomans.
The “Church” can’t tolerate any competition for their own HooDoo BS !!!
For your own, and your children’s sanity STAY AWAY FROM ***ALL*** THE CRACKPOTS – THE HOLY ROLLERS AND THE SATANISTS !!!
@29 – on the contrary, without Satan they have no reason for existing. Satan isn’t their real enemy – rational thought is.
It’s like the Navy, their nominal adversary is the Russian/Chinese navy – the real enemy is the Army and Air Force
Satanism is a parody religion…
The universe is very old and large on scales we can barely comprehend. The Earth is not the center of the universe, not even the center of our own star system or galaxy. Life evolved slowly over of time. There is no evidence whatsoever for a creator or protector god. I think it’s tragic that even with this knowledge we still cling to the old geocentric idea that humans have some special divine position in the universe and a superman father to protect us.
The blond can make me do any evil thing she wants as long as she dresses like that. By the way the easter bunny is real. I saw him on the internet pooping jelly bellies.
Probably just using the devil to scare up more faithful $oul$ for the pews. It is one of their favorite, tried & true recruiting methods..
I call halo-bait
““The internet makes it much easier than in the past to find information about Satanism,” said Carlo Climati
Instead of finding in the regular hangouts like political caucuses.
Carlo Climati? I used to watch his movies back in the 70′s. When he was called Colour Climax.

Did not read, too busy looking at HAWT girl.
I’ve always found the idea that people thought they could sell their souls to the Devil in return for favors to be amusing. Anyone who is willing to do the deal has already given their soul to the Devil free.
The Devil is not going to pay for what it already owns.
The Devil has a reputation for being evil, not stupid.
#28 Bob – You hit it on the head. Money. And power. How much more gold does the Vatican need? That guy (Jones?) in Florida obviously needs more tithes – his hair salon bills must be enormous!
I read once that tithing “is a joy and a blessing.” Especially for the priests and ministers, I suppose. Now who do you suppose put the instruction to tithe into the bible? God or mammon?
On this we agree: “Stoopid hoomans.” To which I add: Greedy, creepy clergy.

#38–soundwash==thank you. I too was taken aback by that game playing with my name. I see now why other people take offense when I have my little thoughtless go at word play.
Wow. Could Alfie the Brain Dead Talking Points Spam Bot have these same feelings? Sure does open your eyes when you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
What’s next? “Robert?”
Animby–you really are a heathen aren’t you. We’ll both be smoking a turd in hell for our sins. I just hope its not the same one. I like my privacy.
