Quote by Yann Martel

“These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil within that has been let out.”

As if yes, abuse exists, Satanism exists, but you can't have Satanist abuse.”
