In response to Elder999's comment that we somehow "fear getting caught", I can only ask what it is we would be caught for doing? To my knowledge I haven't eaten or stabbed any children (though I have been known to sleepwalk).
A couple of key points beyond the senseless murder don't quite add up here with Satanism, these range from the petty to the extreme, so we'll start with the petty. It would seem that the Russian youths in question have a numeric fixation, the only value the number 666 has in Satanism is as a social boogie man, Its meaningless to us beyond that. To a Christian who actually believes in the book if Revelations this number has extreme meaning as it denotes a manifestations of extreme potent malevolence attached to Satan, As we don't believe in a "Real" god or Satan beyond an archetypal roll and do not follow Christian canon (including Revelations) I can only surmise that these were actually wayward Christian youths.
Pragmatism and self reverence are at the heart of Satanism, and if these are defined in any way by Necrophagia I'd like to know so I can go and sell my dictionary for Webster not including it. Digging up a body in a dessicated state and exposing yourself to all of its rot, parasites (micro and Macro varieties) cannot be good for you. If any brain tissue was ingested it could also lead to laughing man's and at the very least your going to get a nasty jaundice as a side-effect of your diet. This is of course in reference to the act of digging up athe body to eat its heart located later in the article, which was a poetic if not disturbingly Disney touch.
Jarrod made an amazingly astute point prior in the thread, why would I risk a death sentence if I exalt my life and its inherent pleasures as the only thing worth worship. Prison certainly doesn't seem all that great but maybe my prejudices have blinded me. Maybe sitting in a small cell, being threatened regularly and experiencing the slow agonizing torture of my impending death via any number of terrifying methods would be a great way to spend my lazy Sunday afternoons.
Alright, Ritual Satanic Abuse syndrome. Say it with me kids Ritual Satanic Abuse syndrome. Does it roll off the tongue? It certainly did in the 80's, you couldn't turn on a talk show without some hag telling you her parent's violated her with a goat while wearing spooky robes around a campfire. Basically this was the trend of someone digging up repressed memories via hypnosis. It was debunked by the intelligence communities (CIA,FBI,NSA) along with the myth of an "Extended network of Satanic Cults".
Obviously the games up and its evident Im on someones side, I am an inactive member of the Church of Satan. Im not a media rep or anything fancy just someone who knows what Im talking about. Numerous valid points have been made on the point of other posts contained within this thread to disprove the validity of this article. Statements about a lack of sources and such, all of which have extreme relevance.
