If you read up on modern satanism, you'll find that it is very close to
christianity, with one of the few differences being that satanism acknowledges
evil in man, while christianity sort of explains all bad things with being
the fault of some red guy living in a hot place below us.
The 11 "rules" of satanism pretty much resembles the 10 rules of christianity.
And the cardinal sins likewise.
Well not being a satanist or actually very religious at all, I'm going to
stop here and get back to the things beyond the mascots :)
