Satanism is stupid, but most people have no idea what it is. True Satanists don't actually believe in Satan.

Like I've said before, nothing kills a joke like having to explain it. Yes, the story is a joke, making fun of the real story referenced here, in which a school district in Washington really has cancelled Halloween in fear of upsetting Wiccans.
Jesus Fucking Christ people, read the news once in a while.

Stalker! Stalker!
Look, author #2, bull fighting is fucked. The bulls are HIDEOUSLY mistreated before they get into the ring, everything from harsh chemicals or cotton up the nose to mess up their breathing to filing their horns down to pins in the testicles and vaseline rubbed in their eyes to blur their vision. This is NOT fiar, and it is not, as you say above, "nothing more than pageantry."
--------
Correct. But you are missing my point.
I never said that bullfighting is fair. I was using the IDEA of bullfighting as a metaphor to describe much different things.
I was just trying to get you to re-read the post to interpret my insights on humanity without worrying about what is happening to the bulls in REAL bullfighting.

I'm not crazy about #2, but it gets my vote because bullfighting is bullshit and depicting it as a fair fight makes me want to puke.
--------
I agree with you fully. The way the sport is currently run is nothing more than pageantry...
Sorry that you thought this was only a story trying to depict bullfighting as a fair fight. I put a lot more into it than that. You should re-read it and try to look past your own morality to see if you agree with my thoughts.

"We're just another family on the block, except we worship Satan, not a Christian God."
Heheheh
Satan is a Christian construct.
Without Christians, Satan wouldn't exist, so to speak.
Heheheh

I was not trying to glorify bullfighting in this story... far from it. I was using a purified version of it as a metaphor to describe some of my feelings about human nature. In particular how both good and evil are acceptable parts of our whole - i.e. "man is the cruelest animal" or "when he created bullfighting .. he created both his hell and his heaven", and how that nature relates to the inevitable progression of mankind into something greater - i.e. "What is great in every man is that he is a bridge and not the destination" or "[The bull] aims to seek the greatest challenge possible... Only if all men were like bulls, imagine what great things we could accomplish".
