“It’s alive! Alive!” – Dr. Victor Von Frankenstein. Since and even before the fascination of the replication of human life, as expressed through the medium of film, particularly the horror and science-fiction genres, such as the film, ‘Frankenstein’ and more recently, ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’, as the genius mistaken for madness, of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who has been the archetypal icon for the sublimated core of man as god. How the stuporstitious have attempted to thwart the progession of science at every turn, but sadly fail in this modern age. Gone are the dark days of christian tyranny, when logical […]

(Special thanks to Rev. Thomas Thorn) I wore small shoes, And my mind was fresh, When you and I first met. Beneath a blanket, On a couch in a fever, In front of the television set. An angry wind, Rattled the windows, As I clutched that blanket in fright. On the monochrome screen, The creature appeared, Such a terrible, beautiful sight. He turned to the camera, Rocking ever so slowly, Lit only by a Stygian moon. I gasped in delight, At his dead-eyed stare, And felt myself starting to swoon. I was frozen in awe, Of what I just saw, […]
Born of the charnel houses and graves A man-made Adam, rejected by his creator Imbued with that Promethean spirit, yet touched with naught but the cruelty of man’s inhumanity to man The one who made you in defiance of the Abrahamic save-master A man of science, his surname mistaken for yours Frankenstein, a name immortal You, his creation, a thing of the wild Self-taught misanthrope Titan God
In 1992, the US Congress deemed January 16th as Religious Freedom Day in celebration of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom passed on January 16 of 1786. This act is a significant precursor of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The full text of the act can be read here. Let me extract its final paragraph: “Be it enacted by General Assembly that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or […]
radiofreesatan.com On behalf of the hosts of Radio Free Satan, I’d like raise a toast to all those who have stepped forward in society as Satanists and exercised their right to practice the religion of their natural inclination. We also salute those who refrain from any religious practice, especially in environments where pressured to fall in line with a particular persuasion. Hail Satan! – Reverend Raul Antony
oldnickmagazine.com Robert Johnson, publisher of Old Nick Magazine & author of “The Satanic Warlock” In celebration of Religious Freedom Day let all free thinkers reflect on these quotes from defenders of sane thought who believe that “religious freedom” also includes NOT believing in religion — Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchins: Dawkins: “We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” “By all means let’s be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.” “Let children learn about different faiths, let them notice their incompatibility, […]
Those comprising the seemingly all-inclusive vacation package from fearing and hating those they feel to be unlike themselves make for most celebrating Religious Freedom Day. The majority purpose is that of the majority demographic, after all. If able, they’d realize their limitations if encountering The Truly Lone Traveler. The Satanist. And their faith buffet would be seen for what it is. Lacking in The Epicurean Department. If one goes back and reads past presidential proclamations related to this occasion, the repetition and content create want. Want for more. So much more. A “please, let’s just speed up this incredibly overdue […]
