61: The Satanic Panic; Or, Not Today, Satan!
Parents of the United States! Listen to this podcast warning before it's too late! Have you noticed your children spending lots of time around funeral homes and coffins? Are they, per chance, drawing pentacles in their school notebooks? Do the toys they play with have any subliminally devilish aspects to them, such as (heaven forbid) flapping wings? If so, they may be under a Satanic spell that only extreme legislation and questionable tell-all books can help fix...or could all of this possibly be a bit of an overreaction?
Ray teaches Rob about the origins of the actual church of Satan, and its charismatic founder; how movies like Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist ginned up an even greater fear of Satan in the hearts of Americans; why you must avoid Smurfs at all cost; why actual Satanists take issue with the mischaracterizations of their legitimate religious movement; and how modern conspiracies have a striking similarity to unfounded claims of ritual abuse that gripped the nation only a few decades ago.
