“Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.” PeopleSinOne ThingMediaStupidIgnoranceDependsPainfulStupidityListsTricksThriveOur SocietyAcceptablePostureCardinalsSatanicSatanismSatanist Author:Anton Szandor LaVey

But then, it’s not self-deceit!” ShouldSelfPlayFunSinPayRolesAwarenessDeserveSacredIncludingExpectedNineStatementsDeceitCowsOnly TimeHomageCardinalsSatanicSacred Cows Author:Anton Szandor LaVey
