All on the surface. A rebellion against society consisting of naming your dog something different than your local Baptist minister names his dog.
Naming your dog after a character in one of capitalist Hollywood's most profitable movie franchises.
That's the opposite of rebellion.
This was before the first Thor movie, if it means anything. But that wasn't part of my original point anyway.
The American Satanists are a bunch of nefarious shits. That was my point. It is my opinion that, under certain circumstances, a nefarious shit is in a position to do more good than a developed intellectual (like you or I, if you or I should meet that mark).
I don't think these guys have any kind of superior philosophy. As I indicated before, it's somewhat bastardized and mediocre. But they are rowdy and belligerent. If you look at what the left hand path aims to achieve, it isn't far from their aspirations.
They aren't trying to be the best at solving society's ills. They are merely aiming their dick at hypocrites and letting a steady yellow stream flow in their direction. They aren't really trying to be more than that.
If the Evangelical Christian culture in America were anything more than a bunch of oppressive bullies who melt under the slightest criticism or mockery, then American Satanism would be worthless.
But as it turns out, American Satanists are quite useful.
