Both my colleague Asmodeus and myself have repreatedly pointed out errors about Satanism which were committed by Eric Marsh and Janet Christian, and provided straightforward, non-confrontational explanations of what Satanism is about, in alt.pagan on USENET. Marsh and Christian have consistently ignored these messages, unlike many others who thanked us for providing these educational materials. Education is not only a responsibility on the well-informed side of an issue; the other side has to be willing to listen. Many people are -- from your statements about how your attitudes have changed on Satanism, I assume you are one of them -- but many other people find some deep emotional satisfaction from their pre-existing stands are and are unwilling to even consider any contrary evidence. After trying and trying, I have to conclude that Marsh and Christian are among this latter, uneducable group. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!161!93!Tim.Maroney Internet: Tim.Maroney@f93.n161.z1.fidonet.org
