Group to Hold Satanic Ritual at Oklahoma City's Civic Center

OKLAHOMA CITY – A local satanic church will attempt to spread its message during an event in downtown Oklahoma City.

Members of the Church of the IV Majesties will gather at the Civic Center October 21. The group's website claimed the event will include a satanic ritual.

The church's head minister -- who would not reveal his name or face -- said the ritual is a staged exorcism, and a parody of the Catholic church.

The church has filed for corporation status and at least one member has obtained minister credentials. Members of the group said the event at the Civic Center will help educate the public.

"Our job is to provide a community and a basis for everybody to meet and practice their belief peacefully,"said the church's head minister.

There's nothing the city can do to stop the group from holding its event at the Civic Center. The city cannot discriminate against any religious group as long as the organization does nothing illegal.

"We are a government entity and as such we have to abide by the laws of the Constitution of the United States in saying that we have to abide by the first amendment which allows freedom of assembly for all groups," said Oklahoma City spokesperson Jennifer McClintock.

This should end well.

As long as they don't knock on my door trying to tell me about the good news, I'm good.

Ya know, I was watching the bio of the KKK last night on tv and had this original thought: "DON'T ****ING PROTEST THEM! Don't show up...don't do anything. Let them do their stupid bull**** and don't give them a shred of attention, cause that's what they want."

I can understand worshiping a lot of things, but Satan? I have yet to understand the point.

They say they are there to practice peacefully, yet another report I read said that they are going to perform an exorcism to mock Catholic belief practices.

If someone whipped their ***, how could they complain? They worship evil.

Now with picture goodness!!!

and what was lucifer's crime?

loving god too much. god said to the angels "I've created man, and you will love him as you love me"

lucifer said "no. i love you more than man", and for that god cast him out of heaven.

seems to me that god's the dickhead in this situation... but I'm a card carrying atheist and don't give a **** either way.

Nowhere in this story does it mention what branch of Satanism it is. Technically they could be worshipping lucifer, but it's more likely that they are Levay Satanists who actually worship self or even the guys that think the bible is totally true, but that the roles are reversed and that Satan, father of lies, has fooled the world into worshipping the "real" devil as God.

Yeah...I read too much weird ****.

Not exactly. The doctrine of Satanism, as written in the Satanic Bible, by Anton LaVey (I think..) preaches more hedonism than anything else. It's indulgence over abstinence. It's pleasure over pristine.

Basically, it's what people do, but then go to church to feel guilty for later. Spring Break was the greatest thing to ever happen to Satan. Churches too. Lots of souls find a higher meaning on that week, dedicated to celebrating the lowest common denominator; reckless abandon.

Sure, there are some that, uh... "go too far," I guess sounds a bit, "off." Sorry. Anyway, there are always those extremists, just like there are those that twist the word of God to mean "protest military funerals 'cause of homosexuals." The sad thing is, that's what both sides get judged by by both the other side, and all neutral parties. If the Religious Right stages some kind of rally, they're just belittling their own cause. If they, instead, spend the day downtown, peaceably, handing out tracts, and volunteering to witness to anybody that may be interested; without causing any kind of disturbance at "Satan's rally," don't you think that would serve their cause, and their purpose, so much more?

Which is, of course, why it will never happen.

(I guess I should know this Biblical passage, but it somehow got by me.)
