A variety of issues since its infancy have been discussed, are still being discussed and will probably be raised once again in the future. Issues ranging \u00a0from the question\u00a0of<a title=\"stagnant satanism\" href=\"http:\/\/sectofthehornedgod.wall.fm\/blogs\/93\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0<\/a><a title=\"stagnant satanism\" href=\"http:\/\/sectofthehornedgod.wall.fm\/blogs\/93\" target=\"_blank\">stagnant satanism<\/a>\u00a0towards <a title=\"skeptisism and the supernatural\" href=\"http:\/\/sectofthehornedgod.wall.fm\/blogs\/104\" target=\"_blank\">skepticism and the supernatural<\/a>\u00a0and onwards to various <a title=\"societal critic\" href=\"http:\/\/sectofthehornedgod.wordpress.com\/2013\/04\/05\/going-green\/\" target=\"_blank\">societal critics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But how does this all add up? While many are being busy weeding through a variety of images, posting shit loads of pictures, reports, charities and trying to leave their mark by spreading various media articles through a variety of media devices linked to the great communicator (internet), a certain scrutiny has to be upheld. This is the point where the chaff is being separated from the wheat. While the intentions might be considered worthwhile or make up a part of the praxis, it severely lacks credibility by reason it isn&#8217;t put where it matters. I see many rejoice when the next blogs talks about &#8220;science updates&#8221;, stories of religious bullshitting being received with laughter and finger-pointed at while giving ourselves the reason of polishing the &#8220;superior then thou&#8221;-badge for not having fallen into it, or simply stories and blogs taking a hike and enforcing the idea of intellectual superiority by means of labeling religion as &#8220;poisonous&#8221;, &#8220;a rotting carcass&#8221;,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>While these are fun stories to read, it simply degenerates by the fact those are shared in a closed environment where the &#8220;anti-idea&#8221; is already celebrated. It misses the impact as they aren&#8217;t placed in places where they DO matter. With a stern face they can, at best, be labeled as amusing. Is it that surprising some will start taking a hike with it? Doesn&#8217;t satanism embrace the idea of progression through conflict? Your take is applauded, but at the very least know what your actions truly are. I&#8217;ve found myself repeating this sentence over and over again the last couple of weeks: &#8220;put it where it matters&#8221;. The stories and updates only &#8220;spread&#8221; the media, nowhere and not at any point is there an activism involved. I might as well click on the <a title=\"Liking it?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.be\/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;docid=NUCtktrMlU_WUM&amp;tbnid=mqlXWXU-ik8zgM:&amp;ved=0CAUQjRw&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffrabz.com%2F2dek&amp;ei=yu22UceuNYLpswaiioD4Aw&amp;bvm=bv.47534661,d.Yms&amp;psig=AFQjCNEGeZX9j1JBCKSoIDHUyeX3E3W1SA&amp;ust=1371029310826170\">&#8220;like&#8221; button<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Updates about &#8220;injustice&#8221; and charities with an asking to sign the petition are akin to wallmart-greeter behavior and I fail to see any &#8220;satanic praxis&#8221; in that.
