the wicked ways
He breaks up a
of the marquis
de sade!
For those who believe that
Satanism is all about selfish in-
dulgence, the Marquis De Sade
is your poster child! Aside from
being the original (sexual) sadist
(hence the origin of the word),
the Marquis enjoyed fine foods,
royal privilege, bisexual orgies,
frequent travel (some of which
was a necessity due to the afore-
mentioned excesses which, at the
time were considered 'taboo'!)
and unending blasphemies
against the xtian church. Infor-
mation about his sexual and
narcissistic patterns can be ob-
tained by simply typing his
name into any online search en-
gine, however it is his views on
religion on which we will focus
at this time.
In the second part of the thir-
tieth day of his epic book, "The
120 Days Of Sodom", the Mar-
quis presents for our enjoyment
a list of erotic blasphemies that
would fall into the category of
historical fiction. The scenarios
focus heavily on corrupted and
bribed clergymen, host desecra-
tion, urinating and defecating
on 'holy' objects and general
blasphemy for its own sake.

a prime example:
