I know about the satanist problem, I have a friend who is a satanist, and he is one of the nicest people I know, to be fair though when I first met him I freaked out that he was a satanist but that was because I didn't know about the LaVey type satanist, I only knew the stereotype of satanist. I think that satanists are very misrepresented. I don't agree at all with what they believe but, I think too many times they are hated because of things that have nothing to do with the truth. :(
You know, One of the most common reactions I get when people hear that I am a Satanist is "how can you be a Satanist when you are so nice?" Well I am nice up until I am given reason to not be. Satanists, and christians and most groups are thought of my the masses as they are presented by the media, which has a vested interest in only presenting the negative aspects of any group. Negativity sells papers, but when you get down to it, it is almost always a loud, vocal few who are represented. Thus are {sarcasm} all christians narrow-minded neanderthals, all Satanists are animal sacrificing, child molester, all muslims terrorists {/sarcasm}etc.
The media, and the masses that submit to its manipulation are, in my opinion, the most dangerous threat that Humanity faces.
