Let me be clear- the issue is about abusing children and has little to do with devil worship although it is that aspect that is used to dismiss this evil practice with children.
Doug Misicko aka Doug Mesner aka Lucien Greaves aka John Kilrush aka whatever has spent his entire career discrediting victims of severe childhood abuse while forming the Satanic Temple. Of course all the while he claims he doesn’t believe in the devil anymore than he does horrific child abuse.
But it IS about children for him- which is why he got a non for profit in 10 days for his Satanic after school daycare program. But if you say anything- his argument is the same as Michael Aquino- you are just biased about him because of his religious beliefs.
The abuse of children in the 80s was covered up by two phrases- “Satanic panic” and “false memories” but it was REALLY all about the fact that children were being raped and abused in their preschools and daycares. However- these two phrases made anyone who had problems with their children being abused into crazy liars in the eyes of society- showing once again that we are much more apt to believe the perpetrators than victims.
They claim it was a “witch hunt”- again using the devil as a way to ” prove” their innocence. Which is why Mesner hides behind his “Satanic Temple” and Aquino hides behind his Satanic “Temple of Set”- because with our freedom of religion- anyone can believe anything they want. And if anyone has an issue with it- you can easily dismiss them as being discriminatory..
But it isn’t the beliefs that are the problem but rather the practices. And both Aquino, Mesner, AND their followers spend an inordinant about of time trying to normalize and white wash the concepts of serving yourself and doing whatever evil thing they desire. But despite their blustering- have no doubt- hurting children- or anyone really- is evil.
The issue we are facing is the same now as it always was- it isn’t about ” witches” or “devil lovers” or any such nonsense- it is about child rapists who’s appetites for causing pain and anguish have extinguished any humanity they had within themselves. And obviously they believe this abuse of children or they wouldn’t have spent their entire careers desperately trying to discredit it.
They don’t serve the devil- they serve themselves- and feel that they are entitled in doing anything they desire- no matter what harm it may bring to others.
They just use their “beliefs” as a shield in order to hide behind and justify themselves. But in the end it is about- and SOLELY about- the fact that they like to hurt children and they will use whatever is at their disposal to do so. And nothing more.
