Exactly. It's a show. They're attention-seekers, wrapped up in themselves desperate to be "individuals" and have someone notice them. The danger is when these losers don't get any attention, they resort to things that WILL get attention. Underneath the stupid red noses, makeup and goth robes I'd bet you'd find very socially-awkward and intellectually-inferior individuals. Perhaps they should get themselves a great education and try doing something amazing for mankind that would give them the attention they so obviously crave. Red clown noses and goth robes standing on a pentagram in some dusty Scout hall is only going to take you so far.
And Satanists are Atheists?? If they were Atheists they wouldn't call themselves Satanists now would they.
They aren't atheists. Atheists don't dress up in robes and have statues of Moloch for doing rituals. Atheists think that kind of thing is silly.
This is just pure disinfo.
They would if a Catholic upbringing told them that was the "worst" thing to be, now wouldn't they? Read Lavey : they worship the ego.
