Like the Beatles song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" was supposedly about LSD. Only if you never bothered to do research. Backwards masking or some crap like that. And today we wonder why so many people can't think for themselves... The blatant lies told by Rodney Seal to school kids was closer to satanism than some of his stories about rock musicians.

Firstly, satanism has metamorphosised, satanists have infiltrated churches and other organisations in order to create a larger framework whereby satanists can control society. Secondly, we have witnessed the the 'liberlaisation' of the media,whereby journalists like yourself deoragatise something so pure and holy as a crusade to save peoples lives like my own and release us from the grips of something so purely evil like satanism. The devil is real, the occult is widespread and your ploy to cover this fact makes me wonder where your loyalties lie, not to society, but towards a righteous and just God or toward a murederer and liar masquarading as an angel. Jesus can set you free and so many others, just as he ahs set me free. As an ex satanist myself I am not surprised by the ignorance you show toward the dark arts.

If there’s a bigger peddlar of “terror, fear and death” than fundamental religionists then I’ll eat my hat.

Satanism is the name given by fearful christians to an ancient practice that goes back to Sumerian times. Read "Night-side of Eden" or "Cults of the Shadow" by Kenneth Grant and your views may change. There are people with very scary ideas and ways - but you will never know it unless they specifically wish it. @ Damon Leff Hey Dude! You guys made idiots of yourselves over the Mpumalanga Witchcraft Bill a while back. Just blend man! There is no need to shout your beliefs from the rooftop. As for the general idea of Satanism, ignorance of what really happens and just who the so-called Satanists really are, is the best camouflage possible. @ Bob of the Mountain

The concept of satanism is to insult the christians and in general all religions with symbols that "scare them" it is not a religion, by all means most of those who claim to be associated with this practice are atheists. Cleared only a very weak willed and easily manipulated fool would believe in a Satan and worship him, same applies to all religion. Is this supposed to be a joke?

Supporters of 'Africa Christian Action' have been waging an e-mail campaign against Halloween and against Pagans in South Africa for more than a week already. see http://www.christianaction.org.za/downloads/BibleAndHalloween.pdf This, despite the fact that Pagans and Witches in South Africa are celebrating Beltain, not Halloween.

The media is eager to please by broadcasting a largely Christian agenda when it comes to Paganism. They're not interviewing Pagans about Beltain. They want to talk about Halloween - a Christian invention. It's time journalists in this country started looking at Pagans as more than just a centre-piece of Christian controversy. You'd think 'may'poles would be topical enough?! If you think the Christian propaganda has stopped, think again!
