#1 ... it believes in taking responsibility for your own actions and being your own god.

There's my issue with real satanists. The Black Mass stuff and other accoutrements are shtick for PR purposes and to get a rise out of excitable Christians and media. Genuine crimes done for "satanic" reasons are almost always committed by dabblers and wannabes - the kind of people that buy copies of The Necronomicon and actually try the spells.

#2 Someone made great use of a sermon given by the late Anton LaVey, leader of the California Church of Satan. They mixed his sermon with The Flight of the Valkyries, by Wagner, and burned it to cassette tape.

Then they put the tape in a Teddy Ruxpin as a party novelty.

He said the effect was amazing. Especially after everybody had had a lot to drink.

They were utterly hypnotized by the Wagnerian LaVey teddy bear spewing off about Satan.

#3 the kind of people that buy copies of The Necronomicon and actually try the spells.

I'm reading Crytonomicon*, does that count?

*A DAMN GOOD BOOK ABOUT CRYPTOGRAPHY PAST AND PRESENT INCLUDING ALL SORTS OF HISTORICALLY BASED WORLD WAR FICTION WRITTEN WITH A DECIDEDLY BENT-AXLE SENSE OF HUMOR.
