You're a lot more familiar with American styles of crime, drugs, and violence than I am.
Quote:Do you think that LaVey-style Satanism does anything to address these issues? Or is it more like a granfalloon for self-identity purposes?
Why do you think that would matter? If I asked you how, exactly, american chirsterism did anything to address these issues the fact that it doesn't wouldn't mean shit. It doesn't mean shit when anyone else fails to directly address them, either, if they do fail to address them. Laveyin satanism posits that we are all individually responsible for our actions, not because we're "fallen" as some comment on the entirety of the human species...but squarely laying the blame or praise for any given humans actions on that human. Why did Sally do the bad thing? Because Sally wanted to do that, not because we're all cursed and bad by nature. Which of the two responses to what Sally did requires less fantasy?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
