A Satanic Mirror?
Thursday May 24, 2007
If you're scratching your head over that reference, you're not alone. A police raid on the home of a man suspected in a church arson turned up the usual haul of "Satanic" paraphanalia:
"a metal chain with an inverted cross, a satanic mirror, a black T-shirt with "When Satan Lives" on it, the box for a video game "Devil May Cry," a satanic torture doll and a red gown."
Wow, spooky. We've either got a full-blown Satanic cult operating here, or maybe bad taste in decorating? The real icing on this silliness:
"Luttenegger is quick to point out that worshiping Satan is not illegal, and that police get involved only when an actual crime has occurred. "

No, the real icing on this silliness is:
“Satanism is difficult to define. A Web search finds a host of conspiracies, occult speculation and alternative religions.
The term satanic is a general term police use in describing occult-like items found during searches “for lack of a better terminology,” said Acting Police Chief Dan Luttenegger.
Nice general term…I wonder if “Quaker” and “Raelian” were already taken?
