People involved in Satanism are at different levels of depravity. At its best it involves
“survival of the fittest” and frequently it involves a “conscious inversion of morality” (i.e.
premarital sex, group sex, adultery, homosexuality, sex with animals). Once involved a person is
drawn deeper and deeper in to the dark depraved world of Satan. The Schnoebelen’s explain that
“Satanism is obsessed with death, and rituals often involve cursing, the shedding of blood, and
either animal or human sacrifice.

According to the Schnoebelen’s today’s American popular
culture is exploding with Satanism. They write:
Today, Satanism has exploded on the scene with a vengeance. Popular
entertainers and public figures endorse it. Rock musicians openly flaunt its
symbols and preach its “gospel.” Leading Satanists such as Zeena LaVey (High
Priestess of the Church of Satan) and Michael Aquino (High Priest of the Temple
of Set) appear on talk shows, defending their faith against charges of child abuse

Occult Crime in America
Carl A. Raschke details in his book Painted Black that there is “a national epidemic of
‘satanist-related’ crime” and it is “growing faster than AIDS, even though the ‘religious’

In his book, Raschke gives mention to
at least 38 cases were satanic murders have or were alleged to have taken place. He says there
are 270 documented sex abuse cases in day care centers. He further writes that “hundreds of cops
almost every day are confronted with mutilated animal carcasses, drug related slayings with
macabre and occult overtones, religious desecrations, and neo-Nazi acts of violence and
terrorism…”

Bob Larson, in his books Larson’s Book of Spiritual Warfare, and Extreme Evil:
Kids Killing Kids, also lists many, many occult related crimes.
During a three-month period in 1989 the Ritual Abuse Advisory Committee (RAAC) for
the Chicago-based Cult awareness Network received 520 calls reporting Satanism and ritual
abuse around the country, 55 of these were in their hometown of Chicago. In a letter to
Chicago’s mayor, Richard M. Daley, Bette Naysmith, chair of the RAAC, made clear what
satanic crimes are.
Please be assured that our concerns relate to criminal acts and not a specific religious
belief system….Clearly, we are talking about the criminal acts committed under the guise of the
