Now, I’m all about being an individual and beating to your own drum. I’m sidetracking but for a moment when I say that I see the kids who just think college is High School 2.0 and I see their parents, too, at some of these parents weekends. There is a level of cringe andtoxicity that comes with some of that, and I believe, it is also of satan. I have rolled my eyes so many times at the moms trying to be their kids’ BFFs at these events and getting down low when dancing with the frat boys, red Solo cup in hand, just sloppy and drunk. Now I may be stereotyping here a touch, but most of these adults are the former high school football stars and prom queens. No, girl, you’re a middle-aged wanna-be MILF and ya look ridiculous. No one cares about your sorority or which one your daughter is in. P.S.-this is for the husbands-please tell your girl to keep her a$$ cheeks in her shorts-especially if she’s donning a cross around her neck! Holy Jesus Christ Almighty!

Our family falls somewhere in the middle of all of this. We like to enjoy parents weekends with our son but, we prefer to keep it to him and maybe a friend or two at a nice dinner. For most (normal) high schoolers, they do not lurk in the shadows of Homecoming royalty and the football star. They either fit that mold or they don’t. Academics and sports for my child, anyway, did not come naturally. He had to work hard at both. And, groupthink? That was something he clearly was not a part of during his high school career. He doesn’t care to be part of it in college, either. But as a parent, I might have had a few things to say to my son if he so chose to apply for a scholarship from a local satanic group. Parents stuck in their glory days on college campuses is cringe, but this is cringe on so many different levels.

So, my question is, first, where are the parents in all of this? Do they think this is cool? (Here’s a hint: this is also a bad look.)

But, to some, $666 is easy money and one HELL of a way to start your journey into adulthood and down into the abyss, right? All these young people had to do was write about one of the “Satanic Values” of “Outsider Satanism” posted on the group’s website. Some of these “values” are as follows:

Critical Thinking and the Pursuit of Knowledge: This is true in the context of science, as well as our personal lives. Insatiable curiosity motivates us, and evidence is paramount. There is no blind faith here.

Yay, science! Yay, Critical Thinking. Booo, Blind Faith! Unless you’re pledging blind faith to Baphomet, though. (featured on the organization’s page).

Balance: We should avoid arbitrary allegiances in favor of educated decision making.

Read: GOD is an “arbitrary allegiance”. Avoid, avoid, avoid HIM at all costs.

Wonder: Real magic is found in things like a powerful orgasm, a mind-expanding psychedelic trip, or the sound of your favorite song. When our lives become void of the pursuit and appreciation of wonder, that is when our death has begun. Seek out the truly beautiful moments in life. Seize the day!

Have all the sex and do all the ‘shrooms. Carpe freaking Diem! Values.

Personal Freedom: Generations of religious doctrines have embedded guilt and fear-based abstinence into the lives of many. In stark contrast, we celebrate indulgence, individuality, bodily autonomy, free expression, diverse sexuality, and honesty.

Indulgence and Bodily Automony=the entire Trans movement.Read=they celebrate this mental illness. Moving on.

Celebration of Self : The most important person in your life is you.

Yep. Because the world revolves around YOU. It’s all about YOU.

Justice: Justice is the subjective quality of being fair and reasonable, and ones own moral compass will serve as their guide.

After you’ve had all the orgasms and ‘shrooms, you can contemplate this…

Rebellion: Beginning with the fictional Book of Genesis, the character Satan (in the form of the serpent) has acted in rebellion against the tyranny of God. Here in the real world, our veneration of Satan empowers us to continue this rebelliousness against arbitrary authority and the uninspired status quo.

The uninspired status quo is most of the anti-God, AntiFa, pro-“science” pride-flag crowd they actually pledge “arbitrary allegiance” to.

Acceptance: We should avoid arbitrary allegiances in favor of educated decision making.

Well, no sh#t, Sherlock Holmes! One has to have a moral compass in this life and make educated decisions. I believe some people call this discernment. It’s in the Bible, which they also referenced in Genesis with regard to man’s (women’s, she-mans, he-womans, they-them’s, in their all-inclusive dialogue) rebellion to God. But, God’s not real, you see. (Facepalm)

The group, Satanic Delco, has also contributed to charity campaigns. They say, proudly, I might add, “we make your coffee”, and, my personal favorite, “we teach your kids“.

What you didn’t see in that clip was the teacher’s head swiveling right before he threw up pea-green soup.

When asked if the satanic group “worships satan”, this is their answer:

No. We don’t worship Satan because Satan isn’t real.

We don’t subscribe to the belief of Satan or any other supernatural beings. Religion can and should be separated from superstitious beliefs. To embody the name Satan means embracing rational inquiry without supernatural or outdated traditions. As Satanists, we should strive to sharpen our critical thinking skills and practice reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs are informed by the latest scientific understanding of the natural world, and never the other way around.”-Outsidersatanism.com

Embracing rational inquiry. Like: is God real? Why would one embody GOD (who, according to them), is NOT real when they could embody Satan, who is also, according to them, IS NOT REAL? And, if this is the case, why are they calling themselves, as an organization, “Satantic Delco” and not “Agnostic Delco”? Why? Possibly because they couldn’t then sell cool shirts with upside-down crosses and pentagrams on their website? But they are Outsider Satanists. There is a difference, you see…

Outsider Satanism is a sect of modern Satanism. We are working to articulate a philosophy that refines what’s been laid before us by Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible, The Satanic Temple, and other satanic works.”-outsidersatanism.com

Anton LaVey. Founder of The Church of Satan. These pseudo-intellectuals will say we don’t “get it”. Our minuscule, pea-sized, God-worshipping, little minds, compared to those tripped-out on psychedelics and orgasms and pleasuring themselves, cannot wrap ourselves around the concept of “Outsider Satanism” because, it’s just sooooo deeeeep, mannnnn.

Make no mistake. In this world, there is the very presence of God and an enemy of our very souls that seeks to kill and destroy. It’s up to our own free will who we choose to have the relationship with. I will say that some of the “what we believe” of this satanic congregation mimics an echoes the sentiments of a very familiar group here in The United States.

Me thinks they took their notes from the Democratic Party. Jesus, you’ve got the wheel.
