From Dr. Jim Denison:
When we watch sports on television, we can trust what we see with our own eyes. We don’t need anyone to tell us who won and lost since we experience the event in real time.
There was a day when many could say the same about their daily lives as they intersected the world at large. When most of us lived on farms or in small towns, most of what affected us directly was around us, from the weather to our families, schools, customers, employers, and employees. We were never truly exempt from world events: after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, my father went from a small town in Kansas to fighting the Japanese in World War II. But most of what happened to us on a daily basis resulted from a much smaller world, one we could understand and had a hand in controlling. More Here

Janna Firestone reports:
Halloween sparks controversy each year. While some view the holiday as an opportunity to eat candy and dress up in fun costumes, others deem the celebrations go too far. This year, a high school teacher in Mesa, Arizona, dressed up in a devil costume and reportedly said, “Hail Satan” to the students. Nathaniel Hamlet, a sophomore in the class, spoke with 12 News and said he was “insulted.” Since then, the teacher has been put on administrative leave as the school district investigates the incident.

From Got Questions: Most Satanists, devil worshipers, diabolists, Luciferians, and members of the Church of Satan claim to have roots in LaVeyan Satanism, named after Anton LaVey, the author of the Satanic Bible and founder of the first Church of Satan. LaVey presumably started the First Church of Satan in 1966. As a self-proclaimed authority on everything evil, he began giving weekly lectures at a cost of $2.00 per person. And thus the Church of Satan was born. More Here
