Satan Using Gay Marriage to Discourage Conservative Christians From Doing the Right Thing

“The opposition is always going to throw stones, and that’s they’re way of discouraging,” anti-gay activist Bob Vander Plaats said. “I mean, Satan’s ways are not new under the sun, he wants to discourage, he wants to disappoint.”

Satanic Teen Serial Killer Miranda Barbour Kept Journal Chronicling Her Alleged Crimes (or Fantasies)

Miranda Barbour has confessed to killing as many as 100 people in retribution for her own childhood of abuse. It is a claim even her mother, Elizabeth Dean, cannot believe, despite Miranda’s troubled childhood in Alaska.

“She would be gone for days at a time,” Dean said of her daughter, now age 19. “I would be out on the streets looking for her.”

Miranda’s mom also described in a recent media interview incidents where Miranda  would harm herself. While in Alaska, Miranda’s alleged training ground for her crime spree, the teen was also known to hang out on the docks, winding up pregnant at young age.

After Barbour’s arrest, however, Dean was handed a journal that Miranda’s husband insisted was written by his teen wife. Inside of it, according to her mother, are the chronicles of a deranged killing spree that her mother insists ‘can’t be true.’

So what should be made of this alleged diary of a serial killer? Reporter Francis Scarcella, of the Daily Item, talked about his interview with Miranda, what evidence may be found in the journal, and if this teen should be believed in a story published in the New York Post.

Miranda fills in the missing days of her childhood with stories of horrors. She was part of a Satanic cult, she says, a gang that would perform occult rituals in the Alaskan woods.

She first killed at age 13.

“I lured a man into an alley that owed the gang leader money,” Miranda said.

“He shot the man and then gave me the gun and told me it was my turn. I hate guns and I couldn’t do it, so he put his hands on my hands and we pulled the trigger,” she said.

Authorities are still trying to find out if there is any truth to what Miranda is claiming.

Miranda explained at that point she knew she had something bad inside her and that Satanism let her embrace it.

After that, she said she only targeted “bad people” and those who had hurt children. She says she’s willing to “pinpoint on a map” where she murdered.

An ex-boyfriend, meanwhile, has given Dean an old journal he claims is Miranda’s — a diary the mother will not release but wants to talk to her about.

“There are things in here that just can’t be true,” Dean said. “Some of this I just don’t believe.

“I don’t believe she has done any of what she is saying, and I don’t know why she is saying all of these things.”

“Who’s to say how many,” Elytte said about his wife’s claims during a phone call placed to reporters.

“I know what she told me was 50-50.”

Authorities are still scrambling in various states trying to see if there is any truth to what Miranda is claiming.

Graffiti on Missouri Church: ‘Hail Satan, He is Sexy!’

MADISON COUNTY • Investigators say they want to know who spray-painted satanic messages on a church near Alton last week.

About 12:45 p.m. Friday, Madison County sheriff’s deputies were called to the Salem Baptist Church at 2001 Seiler Road after the phrases “Hail Satan (he’s sexy)” and “666” were found spray-painted on a church facade.

Shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday, sheriff’s deputies were called to the Woodland Hills subdivision near Alton where the words, “Hail Satan” were found spray-painted on brick pillars at the subdivision’s entrance.

Are Copycats Giving Satanists a Bad Name?

From the Houston Press/Camilo Smith

God is good, and for some Satan is, too.

Satanists don’t deserve the bad rap they’re getting after the recent news linking accused killers to the Prince of Darkness. The words “satanic ritual murder” or “occult killing” set off alarms in God-fearing people, and that’s probably why prosecutors and the media ran with it.

This hit home when two Harris County teens were charged with capital murder recently in what the Houston Chronicle referred to as an “occult killing.” Other news outlets headlined it “deal with the devil” or “ritual murder.”

“You now have people who are practicing the illusion of the occult,” says Michael Bradley, a Satanist and a regular in Houston’s goth scene. When you hear about people, especially teens, killing in the name of the devil, there’s probably mental illness involved, and an imagination twisted on images from metal music groups and hit movies that teens consume in hopes of scaring the shit out of their parents.

Blaming a supernatural force for causing someone to commit murder is disturbing and sad, and at this point, very unoriginal. Claiming “I did it for the devil,” is no different from people saying they were commanded by angels, God or other voices to commit murder,” says Bradley. “It’s unfortunate that it’s sensationalized,” he said. “The supernatural, the occult, help to relieve people of their responsibility.”
