Satanic Apologetics and the Church Sex Abuse Scandal

there is a branch of Christian theological studies called apologetics, which is the art of refuting criticisms directed against the orthodox interpretation of Christian scripture. Unfortunately, many people whose religious interests could be classified as occult also feel the need to resort to apologetics when confronted by an orthodox Christian with the Satanic nature of their beliefs. They claim that there is nothing Satanic or Luciferian about their interests, and that the Christians are simply misinterpreting an ancient tradition that predates the concepts of both Christ and the Devil. Some even claim to be more truly Christian than their detractors, throwing around New Age terms like Christ-consciousness.

The worst perpetrators of Satanic apologetics are those who openly call themselves Satanists, especially members of the Church of Satan. These people claim to speak for the Satanic tradition, and yet they relegate Satan to the position of an archetype with no real existence. To them, Satan merely represents intellectual rebellion. Their beliefs are, at bottom, atheistic, and if they worship anyone, it is themselves.

What is really annoying is how Church of Satan members assume that all other followers of Satanic traditions are like they are. Thus the practice of Satanic apologetics spreads to the debunking of phenomena like Satanic human sacrifice, Satanic Ritual Abuse, and Satanic conspiracy theories. Recently, a Church of Satan representative appeared on Linda Vesters Dayside show on Fox News, debunking the notion that Laci Peterson could have been killed by Satanists. Real Satanists, she argued, are abstract philosophers, embracing a system of self-empowerment. Real Satanists have no desire to kill anybody. Real Satanists dont even actually worship Satan. This woman could not conceive that a group of people who call themselves Satanists, or that are perceived as Satanists by outsiders, might exist who do not share her abstract notions about the Satan archetype. She could not conceive that such a group might exist, perpetuating the ancient religious traditions of our ancestors: traditions that at one time definitely included both human and animal sacrifice, and that would most certainly be perceived as Satanic today. People like her believe that Satanism, instead of stretching back to antiquity, was invented out of a vacuum in 1966 by Anton LaVey in Southern California. Such a claim, of course, flies in the face of the numerous cases of murders committed by people who later admitted to being motivated by Satanism. While such cases are not epidemic, they certainly do take place. There are also hundreds of murders that take place in Africa every year as sacrifices to traditional African gods. Similar animistic religions prevail throughout the Third World, and in many cases have spread to the First World as well. And while the number of human sacrifices taking place in the First World is undoubtedly limited, the number of animal sacrifices made in the name of Voudon and Santeria is too high to be counted. While the participants might not label themselves Satanists, they are certainly worshipping demonic beings, and their practices are perceived as such by outsiders.

But Satanic apologists will still tell you that nothing like this ever takes place. I have heard similar arguments about Satanic Ritual Abuse. While it is true that many of the alleged victims of SRA who have gone public have since been proven to be lying, delusional, or both, to say that such a thing never happens is to ignore numberless incidents of bizarre human behavior. Furthermore, it is no real secret that sex-magic rites, including the practice of sexual aberrations, have formed part of certain occult sciences from the very beginning. The practices of the priests of Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and India all involved sex rituals, with temple prostitution as an integral part of their tradition, as did those of the priesthoods of numerous other cultures. Judaism and Christianity were really part of a comparatively small minority of religious traditions in the ancient world that did not include, overtly at least, the practices of human sacrifice and sacred sexthough the same can also be said of Confucianism, Buddhism (at least in its original form), Islam, and probably Taoism. Throughout the Old Testament, the priests of Israel are shown struggling desperately to keep the public, the monarchy, and even their fellow priests pure of the religious taint of the heathen gods of their neighborsan insurmountable task given that they were confronted with a perpetual onslaught of overwhelmingly persuasive influence. This was especially the case whenever the sons of Israel made wives or concubines of the women of heathen nations. Wise King Solomon is famous for having dabbled in the magical arts, but he is equally well-known for his exceptionally large harem of foreign women. It perhaps goes without saying that the sex practices of these ancient cults rarely stayed within the bounds considered acceptable by modern standards. Homosexuality, bestiality, incest, and group orgies were common, and there was certainly no age restriction on the participants, nor any requirement that the participants be consenting. Rape was common, and the murder of the victim before, during, or after the sex rite was common as well. Infanticide or abortion was not an uncommon end for the unhappy fruits of these unions. In other instances, the children were raised with privileges, as the divine offspring of the god to whom the ceremony had been dedicated.

Indeed, the tradition of sex magic begins with the myth of a mating between gods and humans. I speak, of course, about the interbreeding between the sons of God and the daughters of men recounted in Genesis 6. This incident is elaborated upon greatly in the Book of Enoch and other apocryphal texts, where these sons of God are also referred to as the Watchers, and are described as fallen angels. the Book of Enoch portrays the Watchers as being consumed with lust upon the sight of human women, and describes how, as they descended from Heaven, their parts of shame hung down like horses.

According to the mythology of certain modern day Luciferians, the Watchers, or Nephilim as theyre called in the Bible, were of a much higher level of sexual potency than human males, capable of having limitless orgasms without the male refractory period that prevents most men from achieving this. They claim that the Watchers taught human females how to enjoy multiple orgasms as well. The Book of Enoch and other texts seem to make similar assertions. The children born of these unions between angels and human women were described as giants in some instances, and in others designated as word Rephaim. The Watchers were accused by God of teaching women sexual abominations they had never before known, and of introducing them to the use of makeup and jewelry, by which means they went about seducing human males. Thus was rampant promiscuity and fornication spread through the land, forcing God to bring about the Flood, to wipe the earth clean of this pestilence.

But it was not only heterosexual unions, according to this belief-system, that interested the Watchers and their sons. When in Genesis the two angels visit Lot in the land of Sodom, the local inhabitants become consumed with lust, and besiege Lots house, demanding to be allowed to sodomize the angels, whom some writers identify with the Watchers of the Book of Enoch. Something about their very appearance inspired this desire in the Sodomites. A similar scene occurs in the Book of Judges, where a young Levite goes to visit a friend in the land of the Benjamites (descendants, according to the same theory, of the Rephaim). A group of Benjamites called the sons of Belial again besiege the house, demanding homosexual intercourse with the Levite. The Watchers and their descendants, according to this Luciferian myth, are associated with promiscuity of every sort, which was brought into the world by them in the first place. The origin of sexual perversion, according to this myth, is Satan, the original Incubus, from whom it was passed on through the generations to his modern day progeny.
