The article behind this series has grown viral legs, as it makes its global rounds, as you will discover from the link above.
Now, the venerable newspaper of the left-wind, The Guardian has responded to the original article with some good tongue in cheek. The actions described in the article do not seem to bother them all that much. Seeing the original article and the new Satanism in anything but a humorous light bears consideration.
The original article describes the new Satanism almost as a fusion cuisine. It contain blood. synthesized ideas from establishment recipes, and a philosophy, however unclear and jumbled. It now makes me think that the LA Times should have classified their article under “Food” rather than “Entertainment”. Humor notwithstanding, there is a great deal to digest in the new Satanism, and all should at least pause and consider as someone is at least playing with something more than a hot stove.
