brought me out of a deep depression, and made me feel like I wanted to live again That said, it s not, by any means a book for everyone For me it was the first step on a path to deeper spiritual understanding, and self acceptance I think many people would just find it offensive, and think the author just wrote it to be shocking In the end, you can say whatever you want about Anton, but he was

sense of shame or inferiority about being a weirdo or having odd interests was to turn it around on the sheeple and have a elitist attitude and look at your quirks and oddities as a sign of your superiority and if other people don t get it then thats a sign of their inferiority.Although it never would have happened in a million years for a myriad of reasons even though over all I m luke warm

is a vein of humor in all of his books, but this one is practically a satanic joke book Leave it on your coffee table to shock those you wish to shock and make laugh those you know will appreciate

facets of the Church hate Marx a lot of other respectable facets r...I have said before that Anton LaVey was fundamentally not a talented book writer, but an essayist at heart This book is a collection of his essays Nearly all of them had previously appeared in The Cloven Hoof, the newsletter of the Church of Satan, most of them in the early to mid 1970s, although there is some evidence
