Crowley would be laughing his head off. After all, perish the thought of a publisher not mouthing the lastest PC shibboleths.

Hmm, maybe I should write something and get them to publish it. I could use another bad guy medal.

I suppose if Humongous is reborn and eats her commune for lunch it might be interesting.

Well, that while she was a dreadful writer and a lot of the logic had holes you can drive a truck through, she had the misfortune to be right far more often than she was wrong. Of course the same could also be said of Anton LaVey.

Look at it this way, in 1888 an American Protestant Missionary named Doane was detained in the Phillipines. The US sent a battleship and marines to look into the matter,to the great terror of the Spanish government who could not release the Rev. Mr. Doane fast enough. Now, does anyone think that the marines will be airdropped onto Nepal for the sake of the missionaries?

(Of course when the Scientologists take over I would not want to be anywhere near a country that would detain one of their missionaries...)

These things always remind of back in 1983 when there was some nut on Xtian television babbling about how terrible the new age was and spending a lot of hot air linking the Theosophical Society to it. Well, I made my weekly visit to the Olcott Library and told my friend at the reception desk to expect strange and bizarre visitations.

Well, the next week I came in and was greeted with, "Come to see the Devil Worshippers?" And much laughter because we were pretty much used to it what with Wheaton College being two miles down the road. So, jokingly, I said, that if they came in to just tell them that the Antichrist was reading in the library, and then I found a ancient book and sat down.

Well, after a little while I looked up to find myself surrounded by a group of very neat young folks and one of them asked, without humor, "Are you really the Antichrist?"

I laughed and said, "No, I'm the False Prophet, but the folks here don't know their Bible very well."

And at that point the joke dawned on them and they realized how stupid they had managed to make themselves look.

One can make a case that religious identification in and of itself could be a manifestation of mental illness and thus lead to suicide.

I never heard it either but I'll bet in a few days I'll find someone who thinks it is proof of antedeluvian bdsm.
