On Saturday night I attended the Noosa Temple of Satan's black | Australian Sovereignty Alliance

On Saturday night I attended the Noosa Temple of Satan's black mass and 'protest for religious freedom' which was held on Hastings Street.

I spoke with the guy second from left who is dressed as a priest and he told me that first of all, the idea that satanists are cult members who eat babies is "completely wrong". Why would he need to tell me that?

He went on to say that Satanists share a variety of beliefs. Some worship a literal being (Satan), while others including himself are materialist atheists who deny the existence of supernatural beings and any form of afterlife.

According to him the goal of the satanist movement is to push back against "Christian privilege" and to test whether Christians are really as good as they think they are.

Rule #3 of Saul Alinski's subversive activist manual, 'Rules for Radicals', says to use your opponents weaknesses against them, and it was quite apparent to me that the agenda of this satanist movement was entirely political. It is no coincidence that they are in ideological and philosophical alliance with international Marxism, the goal of which is the undermining of Christianity in order to destabilise western society for their final revolition.

While they were careful to present themselves as family friendly, there were still reasons for concern. Half way through the march in a darkened car park at the northern end of Hastings Street they paused to dance to a song. The lyrics depicted the opening of the gates of hell and demons coming into the world to cause destruction.

As the the man dressed as a priest admitted to me, there are members who actually worship a dark lord and believe in demons etc. and these people are dedicated to bringing about their wishes in this world. Hence the rituals.

Many people don't believe in the supernatural these days, so they may not be concerned, but they can't deny the existence of people within these satanist groups who would like to bring about the destruction of their society.

They also can't deny the subversive nature of the apparently inocuous view of atheism or 'scientific materialism' which is the other major view amongst satanists.

This view holds that there is no afterlife, which differs from Christianity and all other religions. The consequence being that you aren't held accountable for your actions. So if you lie for example, the repercussions will only come about if you get caught, which makes these people inherently untrustworthy.

Christians for the most part have fallen asleep at the wheel, and as a result are getting absolutely smoked in the ongoing cultural war.. But whether you are a devout Christian or you just appreciate living in the western world, it's important you pay attention and protect what you value because there are organised people who want to take it from you.
