 The Church Of Satan

 Conrad S. Cardinal

I believe that the majority of people don't know or refuse to believe that the church of Satan exists. As far as I know the leader’s name is Anton Szandor LaVey. I haven't seen the need to keep up with this church’s development. At the time of my encounter with this group they had a fairly large following in Las Vegas. Before you point your finger at Las Vegas, be aware that these groups exist all over the country and the world.

A close friend of mine met and eventually married a woman who worked in a small clubs as waitress. All seemed quite normal until they began attending church and bible studies. She become very antagonistic and aggressive whenever he wanted to attend. He called me one day and told me he was at a loss as to what he should do. Upon questioning her we learned of her association with the church of Satan and that they were trying to bring her back into the fold. After many hours of conversation and prayer we won the battle and their life returned to normal.

The second encounter with this group was much more intense and hair raising. An old friend of Reverend Reid's, a pastor in north Las Vegas, called and said he had a problem with a newly married couple in his congregation. The young lady was a member of his church and had married a man who was now attending. Once again the symptoms of aggression and antagonism manifested in his behavior whenever they attended a church function. He would also fall asleep as soon as the sermon began. When the pastor began counseling him all hell broke loose. I won't go into specific details at this time because I hope to discuss these two people in depth at a later time. Once again with a considerable amount of counseling and prayer the couple was able to become productive members of the church.

Why people want to worship Satan is hard to understand. I believe it has to do with their belief that they are controlling their destiny. There are certain lines that we who follow God refuse to cross. They seem to believe that their association with Satan frees them. It has been my observation that the opposite is true, they are bound to certain rituals and activities that, like it or not, they must do. It is my understanding that material things and monetary gain are a primary focus. Sensuality is a part of their activities and is also a part of their worship experience.

Once again let me reiterate that I am voicing what I have been told and what I have observed. I continue to explain this because as we go on there will be a number of experiences that you may question. I want you to remember how I have arrived at my opinions and conclusions.

 What Do You Think?

          Conrad S. Cardinal

As children of God, the shortest time
is spent on earth.
To experience life and the challenges
it presents is the reason for birth.

There is much to learn and much to
enjoy during our journey.
The least of which is power, position
and money.

As you look at the world, what do you
see?
People chasing all kinds of things, foolishly.

What do you suppose God hopes we learn
from our labor?
I believe He’d be pleased if all we learned
was to love our neighbor.
