The Devil's Advocate

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No, it’s a 6 foot tall, 32 year old man in ripped black jeans and silver chains pretending to levitate in front of paid actors to a 2003 post-grunge song. It’s the man, the myth, the MYSTIQUE: Chris Angel! In this episode the boys talk about some of "high profile" magician Chris Angels’ cringe appearances, speculate on the legitimacy of hit TV show The Carbanaro Effect, and describe the stunning beauty that is Penn and Tellers’ sleight of hand.

We explore modern Satanism.

The boys come back with Satanism Part 2 and talk about The Satanic Temple and other modern splinters of the "religion". We go over the Seven Tenets of The Satanic Temple and how they differ with the LaVeyan school of thought as well as cover the relationship between the COS and TST to cosmic and existential nihilism, a core concept within both sects. 

If $250 doesn't fit in your budget, then there's Church of Satan Lite, where you can pay $25 to still receive absolutely no sense of community, paired with extra servings of bureaucratic hypocrisy and a touch of subjective reality on the side. Join TST!

We explore OG Satanism.

Since Satanists don't actually believe in or worship any supernatural being, the only devil we bring up is Anton LaVey, the founder of The Church of Satan. A controversial figure in his time, LaVey pioneered the first rendition of modern, non-theistic Satanism and took up the banner of religious liberty, banding outcasts together under a common theology of rationale, science-based logic and self improvement. Individualism is key.

If you want to pay $250 to join a group of elitist nihilists with entitlement complexes to instigate petty internet dramas whilst having absolutely no involvement with political activism, making the world a better place, or altruism, then join the COS!

To meth or not to meth?

We finally uncover the reasoning behind why Alex loves methheads, crackheads, and pillheads, all of which he considers to be different species, as well as why Ben disdains them to his very core. We also talk about careful cultivation of your friend circle and not submitting to arbitrary authority just to appease their feelings, even when it means cutting people off. It's the first time Alex has ever agreed with Lucifer despite Ben's incessant attempts to reveal the same truth to him over the past few months.

We kick the episode off by discussing the importance of separating art from artists and learning to respect art in all forms. Great art is frequently created by less than ideal people and learning to separate the two is crucial. 

For the main topic we round off the three week Satanic Panic series we've been discussing by talking about the major catalyst for its popularity: The McMartin Preschool Trial. From believing every word that children said, to storming a daycare and burning it down, everyone from parents to police had a role in furthering the extent of the panic. The most expensive trial in history at its time, it all began with one extremely mentally ill woman. What makes it even crazier was that an almost identical case with the same name occurred in Canada. (worth checking it)

Understanding these things is useful when looking at our government and the way that these types of conspiracy theory play out today in real time.

The boys continue their discussion on The Satanic Panic but dive even further and enlighten the world with Ben's 7 Foundational Factors that led to its occurrence. 

Those Factors Are: Mcarthyism, The injection of religious rhetoric into everyday life, The ACM (Anti-Cult-Movement), the founding of The Church of Satan, the inception of the social work field, the popularization of PTSD, and fundamentalist Christianity's reemergence as a major political power.

We briefly discuss some psycho shitbag mental health experts.

The boys sit down and discuss the big one, a topic near and dear to both our hearts: The Satanic Panic. The precursor to modern day Qanon conspiracies furthered by Christian Nationalism.

The Satanic Panic was a moral panic that swept the nation during the 1980's and demonized everything from music and games to, most importantly, people. Over 10,000 unsubstantiated cases of the supposed kidnapping, torture, and consumption of thousands of children in Satanic ritual abuses. More importantly, no kids ever went missing and many of these cases were later appealed or dropped due to lack of sufficient evidence. However, some innocent people are still imprisoned to this day due to claims of supernatural rituals from over 30 years ago. 

We discuss the foundational systems that enabled this moral panic to occur in the first place and talk about the history of the events that happened.

The boys try to tackle The U.S. Supreme Court and its recent actions without bringing up religion and fail miserably. We try to discern if religion is inherently toxic or if humanity itself is the problem. We discuss why religion is essentially just a dumb story for dumb people to satiate the masses and talk about how Christian Nationalism has influenced the overturning of Roe V. Wade, which is just a tipping point for the things to come.

Bitter or sweet, creamy or sour, heavy or light? Whether it's beer or music, every genre or category can be respected for what is even if you aren't necessarily a fan. 

True objectivity should allow you to dictate the specific parts about something that draw you to it. Even if you decide to hate it, you should at least understand both the reasons that you dislike it as well as why others are attracted to it.

Being on LSD for 100 days straight? Isn’t America great? Infecting minority groups with STD's for 50 years to study the effects? Best country in the world.

The U.S. Government is far from clean and in this episode we explore just a handful of the atrocities committed by the CIA and other federal institutions. 

What will they do next?
