Actually Ms. Tyr's point was simply that I write under my own name, and with a valid academic doctorate, while "Dr. Lao" is neither "Lao" nor [as far as we know] a credentialed doctor. You are correct in that there are many Ph.D.s out there whose research skills and integrity leave something to be desired. How fortunate you are, therefore, that I am both omniscient and infalible ... oops, I mean *infallible*. >Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan was NEVER theistic. >There is nothing that Anton wrote in his Satanic Bible or elsewhere >to suggest that he was a theistic Satanist ... etc., etc. Well, gosh. Why not just say that there were two types of people in the original Church of Satan: those whose perception and universe were limited to the material, and who saw Anton LaVey only as a slick con-artist - and those who saw the Church as something much more profound and sublime than that, and who detected and shared that vision with Anton as well. In 1975 Anton rejected everything beyond the material, which caused the metaphysicians to both leave the Church and disavow it henceforth as having any metaphysical dimension or sanction. As such metaphysical dimension and sanction appear to be precisely what the materialists can't stand even to contemplate, much less tolerate, what the founders of the Temple of Set thought or did should not trouble nor distress them. Rather they should all relax, draw reassurance from _Satan Speaks_ and _SLOAS_, and proceed contentedly on their way under the appropriate tutelage of Blanche Barton and Kevin Filan (who at long last, after so many unfortunate frustrations with false religions, has finally found the one so perfectly suited to him). There, wasn't that easy? And aren't happy endings ever so much more pleasant than worrisome ones? Michael A. Aquino, Ph.D. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.0.2 iQA/AwUBNpWQ92RWyNykJwrDEQKdmQCZAYvZxGexYT68w66ys2gAWaYPuAwAoKcA TezJymji2Fx547EjimInQ0dS =FWY6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
