Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.
Satanism represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
Don't waste your time with people who will ultimately destroy you, but concentrate instead on those who will appreciate your responsibility to them, and, likewise, feel responsible to you.

And the next Saturday they\'d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. I knew then that the Christian church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man\'s carnal nature will out no matter how much it is purged or scoured by any white-light religion.
