49960916 AA1 Hail Satan!
in combing the World-Wide Web for information surrounding 'satan' and
'abuse', I have come across a wonderful supply in the Ontario Centre
for Religious Tolerance (OCRT), which puts forward what I claim to be
fair and extensive information about religions and child/sex abuse.
reviews/critiques/corrections welcome.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
here's a batch of information excerpted from the OCRT website:
http://web.canlink.com/ocrt/ocrt_hp.htm
an amazing webwork of files and html documents which do religious folks
a service while disemboweling the 'Satanic Ritual Abuse' and 'Recovered
Memory Syndrome' scams rather directly. also excellent support by
government reports and well-researched religious files. here's what
they had to say about 'Satanic Ritual Abuse' and 'Occult Crime', along
with some of my remarks.
OCRT on SRA
-----------
The Church of Satan, Temple of Set and other Satanic religious groups
are active and probably include many thousands of members in North
America. This number is speculative, because the largest group
does not reveal its membership statistics, and the remaining
groups are relatively small. There has been one allegation of
abuse against a member of the Temple of Set by an ex-girlfriend,
but no charges resulted.
One case of intra-familial incest involving an underage teen-age
male may have occurred. It was reported in the large Federal
government study referred to above. The teen-ager's parents
were Satanists and publicly acknowledged their religion. They
apparently invited him to some of their sexual rituals as victim,
observer and perpetrator. None of the horrendous details that the
public associates with SRA (ritual killing, torture and
mutilation, blood drinking, etc) occurred. It involved only sexual
activity. If the allegations are true, then the parents would have
committed incest with an under-aged person - a criminal act of
child abuse. Since it happened during a Satanic ritual, it would
be regarded by many as Satanic Ritual Abuse.
To our knowledge, no criminal charges have been laid or
convictions obtained against any religious Satanist. Again, as a
working hypothesis, we conclude that religious Satanists are not
abusing or sacrificing people.
noc note: that is, these were the ONLY INSTANCES where the social culture
called 'Satanism' and ritual abuse intersected. in all other cases there
was either not enough evidence to warrant further investigation or the
individuals could not be shown to be connected to any strand of Satanism.
other OCRT excerpts
-------------------
The US government tried to obtain reliable information by funding a
massive study of childhood ritual abuse. They obtained data from over
10,000 psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, as well as from
police offices, district attorneys' offices and social service
departments. They found
* An alarming incidence of child ritual and non-ritual abuse during
exorcisms, by withholding medical attention and beating children
* One case of incest within a family during Satanic rituals;
* No unequivocal evidence of:
+ bizarre and horrible satanic ritual abuse scenarios or of
+ large scale, organized Satanic cults.
noc note: that is, the US Govt found more ritual abuse from EXORCISMS
and other CHRISTIAN 'family values' than within the purported
'Satanist' world (usually inclusive of Neopagans, btw).
continuing OCRT excerpts
------------------------
There is no hard evidence of this form of ritual abuse by organized
Satanic, Pagan, or other non-Christian groups. Typical types of hard
evidence would have been human blood at a ritual site, dead bodies,
underground tunnels where children said they were taken (as in the
famous McMartin Day Preschool centre in California), etc.
---------------------------
Why do people believe that Satanic/Sadistic Ritual Abuse is common?
Most people believe that there are very evil people following a very
evil religion, who kill babies, drink their blood, eat their flesh,
and who engage in degenerate sexual practices. This belief system has
existed for decades without any hard evidence. Many reasons have been
cited for this belief:
* There are many people who believe themselves to be ritual abuse
survivors who deliver seminars and write books which promote the
concept.
* Some Evangelical Christians and feminist therapists deliver
lectures, conduct seminars and write books promoting it.
* The belief system was started by the Roman Empire in the second
century when they were persecuting Christians. It was reused by
the Christian Church against the Witches (Wiccans). It was used by
the Nazis against the Jews. It is being used today against some
therapy, religious or spiritual individuals and groups. Whenever
the rumour was active in the past, most ordinary citizens believed
it to be true. They do so today also.
* Now that Communism is no longer a menace, we need an internal
"evil empire" to demonize.
noc note: that is, it is a MODERN DAY WITCH HUNT, this time fought by
legally-supported Satanists and the bewildered Christian establishment
which is being disillusioned by a nonpartisan judicial system that,
even when predominantly Christian, such as in the Utah study, fails to
find the evidence popularly expected.
concluding with OCRT info on 'the Occult' and 'Occult Crime'
------------------------------------------------------------
"The Occult" is simply a list of mostly unrelated practices and
activities. It does not exist as an organization. Occult Crime does
not exist, any more than Christian or Jewish Crime exists. The exact
makeup of the Occult depends upon your own religious beliefs. There is
no general consensus....
noc note: that is, there is NO justification for the use of the phrase
'occult crime' and there is no justification for the use of the phrase
'satanic crime' or indeed 'satanic ritual abuse' by the findings of the
US Federal Government and the studies conducted by several state
agencies (CA/UT at least) and the British Government.
finishing off with K. LANNING,
for the FBI (in his report's Conclusion):
-----------------------------------------
There are many children in the United States who, starting early in
their lives, are severely psychologically, physically, and sexually
traumatized by angry, sadistic parents or other adults. Such abuse,
however, is not perpetrated only or primarily by satanists. The
statistical odds are that such abusers are members of mainstream
religions. If 99.9% of satanists and 0.1% of Christians abuse
children as part of their spiritual belief system, that still means
that the vast majority of children so abused were abused by Christians.
noc note: as the OCRT mentions as regards this figure, given that the
resultant numbers are accurately reflected by today's census figures
(99.9% of Satanists likely amounts to some thousands; .1% of Christians
likely amounts to perhaps 100,000), Lanning could even have used .01% and
have been entirely accurate. in fact I would suggest that the evidence
actually points the OPPOSITE DIRECTION (i.e. that there is reason to
suspect more ritual abuse associated with Christianity than it
statistically warrants as compared to other, minority religions).
==================================== end quotes
given this information (I am compiling all WWW sites I can find which
have rational information on the subject, along with Satanism and other
Dark Links at: Fear and
will likely be done within a week or two, planning to notify y'all),
I would love to hear just one or two citations which would *begin* to
justify perpetuating the phrases 'occult crime' or 'satanic ritual abuse'
in any reputable publication or information site. thanks. :>

circulation authorization
please send this report to whoever might be interested. I hope to
catalyze a mass-deflation of this witchhunt. please give my sources
full credit and publicize my editorship of it all you like, especially
the url OCRT! I would note that the Lanning report may be found at:
http://web.canlink.com/ocrt/ra_rep03.htm
please quote me and this report wherever you want to do so.
I'm a public monk working for the betterment of relationship
between all nature-religions and their neighbors as well as
simultaneously between human beings and their neighbor-species,
whom we are decimating at horrendous rates. I hope that once
the witchhunt terminates we can see that we are destroying wild
nature (Satan) and will join forces to begin serious ecological work.

important: there ARE Xtians who debunk SRA! here's a URL:
http://parc.power.net/users/aia/AiA_intro.html
stop the lambasting, inspire religious tolerance! ;>
-----
while I don't want my email address to be seen as some sort of information
resource point, I will respond to email if someone can't get the
information from the URLs I'm handing out.
eventually you can check out (which I'm currently crafting):
http://www.hollyfeld.org/~tyagi/Nagasiva/fear.html
to find a detailed research page helpful to those who want more
information on Satanism, ritual abuse and crimes associated with
religions. I may prepend that report for good measure if there is
a positive response such as you appear to be presaging. ;>
blessed beast!
