SATANISM AND ITS EFFECT ON OUR TEENS (4)
By Paul Kirkpatrick

The followers of Satanism wear symbols of his [believed] satanic power. Some of the more popular ones are:

THE BAPHOMET: An ancient half-man, half-god creature that has been adopted by the Church of Satan as the symbol of Satan.

THE INVERTED PENTAGRAM: Is a five-pointed star with two points in the upright position that reminds one of the horns of the Goat-god, Baphomet.

SAINT PETER’S CROSS: It is today recognized as a symbol of blasphemy and unholiness.

THE SERPENT: Representative of Satan and all the forces of evil.

The prevalence and level of participation in satanic activities are directly fueled by the type of music your child listens to.  If your child listens to Black (not racial, but spiritual) Heavy Metal bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Satan, King Diamond, Anthrax, and Black Sabbath, they are listening to the most influential, anarchistic device Satan has to offer.  “Carl Raschke, director of the Denver Institute of Humanities, believes, ‘You might say heavy metal rock is to self-styled Satanism as gospel music is to Christianity.”9

Role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and many others contribute to the subtle path to evil.  Evil exists, and the line between illusion and reality can be too easily crossed.  How ironic that Black Metal rocker, Marilyn Manson gives advice to parents while at the same taking no responsibility for his actions.  He said, “Parents should raise their kids to listen to an album and know the difference between reality and fantasy.”10    Darrell Conley says, “We as children of God have no business flirting with this, or any other form of occultism.  The guidance we need for tomorrow and the power to overcome the evils of this world can be found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.”11
