In his essay “The Third Side: The Uncomfortable Alternative” (Satan Speaks, Feral House, 1998), Magus Anton Szandor LaVey shatters the commonly-held notion that there are “two sides to every issue,” and defines the Satanic perspective as the Third Side. It is from this pespective that our articulate members will present to you their individual commentary on current events, media, politics, and culture. Here on our churchofsatan.com official website you will find the most recent posts from our Third Side Intelligence feed which is streamed at news.churchofsatan.com/tagged/third-side-intelligence. Come view erudition and opinion from the minds of those with a truly Satanic point of view. Welcome to Third Side Intelligence.

Many Satanists consider the United States to be the world’s first Satanic republic. Non-Satanists may be surprised to learn that this means the Church of Satan advocates secular government.

The most believable fictional characters do not exist in a vacuum and neither do their creators. While the masses need every quote and reference spoon fed to them, the Satanist will find great satisfaction in independent research and discovery. Do directors or screenwriters need to disclose all their influences upfront, regardless if they give credit independently? That’s both impractical and unnecessarily breaks the audience’s engagement with their work. Also question demands from hypersensitive critics who believe all perspectives need to be represented equally at all times, regardless of the creative intent of the creator. —Reverend Raul Antony
In a bizarre turn of events (contorting both the law and the dictionary to their very limits), the DC Medical Examiner has ruled James Brady’s death A HOMICIDE. The reasoning being that the injuries he received 33 years ago led to his death. Um, excuse me, but if it took 33 years that’s not what killed you, James. Sure, the injuries compromised him, even changed him irrevocably. But “killed” him? I don’t think so. I didn’t see the autopsy or the report, but I find the whole idea impossible. Every one of us has a 100% mortality rate, meaning this […]
