The "OMG APRIL 19!!!" fags are leaving out that like every other "devil worshipper" ritual, the fire sacrifice thing is a perversion of a white magic festival. Festval of spring. To celebrate and invoke the gods of growth and rebirth after winter is over. Guess what the fire is for? Clearing the weeds off of and prepping the fields for planting. Signifying the death of winter. Done right it supposedly gives a stupendously prosperous growing season. Esoteric fags will back me up on this.
Pretty fucking obvious why Satanists would want to fuck that up eh?
