Hi readers.
The old Satanist wearing the Vietnam Veteran cap I wrote about a couple of weeks ago was at the coin laundry again. He was telling me the difference between Satanists and devil worshipers, which he isn’t one of, he says.
“Even the devil worshipers,” he explained, “Just aren’t all that evil. They try, but it’s mostly just waving a bloody shirt at it.”
“Devil worshipers try but can’t pull it off?” Me, thinking this over.
“That’s right. You’d think there’d be plenty of evil for them to get into, but the really evil people don’t want anything to do with them. Not even the somewhat evil people, Catholics, Jews, Baptists and Muslims. They find out a person’s a devil worshiper they think poorly of him. Even when they’re jumping the hurdles for award-winning evil.”
Shaking my head. “I never knew that. You’d think especially Catholics and Zionists and Muslims would open their arms and their hearts to honest-to-goodness no-shit devil worshipers. Why is that, do you think?”
He shook his head, too. “I don’t know why it is. I’m not a devil worshiper and I’m not any of those others. I’m just a Satanist trying to get through life as best I can. But if I wanted to be really evil I’d have one hell of a time managing to do it. I wouldn’t know where to start.”

Real evil is just too much work. It’s too easy to engage in criminal neglect.
Ed: Yeah, likely it’s a tough gig. And it’s not as though they teach classes on how to go about it. Evil 101 hasn’t shown up on any elective lists yet. Gracias, J
Reblogged this on Seven Spheres and commented:
First off God lied and the serpent told Eve so! But then the serpent lied when he said we’d be like Gods if we ate the apple!
Heck, everyone lies about just about everything. Around here every supply clerk, finance clerk in DaNang, and Logistics officer spent Vietnam crawling through the jungle getting shot at. Every young man used to be a football player. And nobody ever cheated on their wives or husbands. That’s just what humans are more deeply than they are anything else. Liars. So even if they were to find some good solid evil to do, they’d lie about it one way or another.
Sure and it’s a good thing Christians have a god that’s lying, so they can follow the example!
Yeah, that’s a good thing too. Old Jules
