You are walking down a crowded street on a gloomy evening when you come
upon a mass of people listening intently to the preaching of a man. The man has
an up-side-down cross branded on his forehead. He is screeching his recitation
at the people in a demented angry voice. His lessons consist of the following:

Pathetic lives, every second someone
dies. Delightful is the sight of
repention. No destiny, just a certain
death. In pain inducing lies salvation.
Never repent...
In the name of Satan I condemn this
image of god...
All christians are destroyed. Unguided
by the light. The Satanist rejoice.
Revocate me!... Revocate the
agitator.1

Perhaps most disturbing about the situation is the look of utter
devotion many of the young people in the crowd have in their eyes. They believe
this mans thoughts and ideas and look to him for guidance.
As the intensity of the situation elevates the mass of people begin to
violently slam into each other in a chaotic ceremonial dance. The purpose of
the dance is to cause and endure as much physical pain as possible. The dance
eventually gets so extreme that a young man in the crowd snaps his neck and dies.

The man does not stop his ravings and the crowd doesn't stop their dance.
Instead the man becomes entirely deranged, screaming at the body of the young
man that he is now going to hell where he rot in flames of agony for eternity.
The crowd roars and the man laughs.
What do you suppose would now transpire? At the very least the man and
the crowd would be arrested. More than likely there would be several charges of
third degree murder laid, certainly with several convictions. The preacher would
most likely be taken to a hospital for a psychological examination, be diagnosed
a paranoid schizophrenic, and be placed into an institution for the criminally
insane for the rest of his life.
The event described above did occur, the man recounted does exist and
the ritual...
