Bravo. You don't have to agree with what one believes, you merely have to respect their right to it. Cheers to all involved with how to handle a situation the American President would try to ban.
(and a minor jeer to the article writer for spinning the Nine Satanic Statements)

'please explain?'

Let's examine:
The ones they could have chosen...there are NINE after all.
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams! 3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit! 4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates! 6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires! 7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all! 9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
Furthermore, the "spin" is this, there is an additional thing called "The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth" (many I strongly agree with)
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked. 2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them. 3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there. 4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy. 5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal. 6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved. 7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained. 8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself. 9. Do not harm little children. 10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food. 11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Continuing with the Satanist topic, I just read this article in my newspaper: www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1337620,00.html And I wanted to ask you how much of this was spin and how much they'd got right, Kobolos. Best to hear the issue from as many angles as possible before formulating an opinion on it, it seems to me.
