    Yea it seems like the Church of Satan was set up for the same reason as the Church of England, to get one guy laid (Anton Lavey and Henry VIII respectively) but the Temple of Satan is doing necessary work keeping the Christian right at bay in the land of the free

      I don’t begrudge it. Getting laid is the #1 reason to get into the occult. Better that than trying to make money

          Ask Aleister Crowley. Oh wait, he’s too busy having been the preeminent power-bottom of the 20th century.

          Better ask Peter Carroll, the pontiff of chaos. Oh wait he’s too busy with the tantric sex scene in London.

          Ask L. Ron Hubbard instead, oh wait he’s busy stealing Jack Parsons’ wife. You could ask Jack Parsons, I guess.

            Hmmm. I guess I didn’t really consider them occult, but you make a very good point.

            In my head I was thinking “join crazy religion get laid” but that’s more like “start crazy religion get laid” and ain’t no one got time to start a crazy religion

              You can also just become a magus to get in with goth girls. You might have to read some stuff… And don’t lend anyone money.

      Careful, it’s the Satanic Temple, not the Temple of Satan. Religions being what they are, you could be accidentally founding a new sect.
