The discussion was getting along just fine. Also, you should research what "Satanism" actually is. They do not go around actually worshipping Satan or sacrificing children or anything like that. Well, it depends on the type of Satanism. Some types are harmless, but incourage you to only help yourself (which I strongly disagree with), while others are actually harmful. Yes, there are types of Satanism that are directly harmful, involving the killing of stray cats, child pornography and having children for sacrificing. If you think that sounds like an urban myth, when my mother was a young social worker studdying in New Orleans, she actually encountered this. Again, there are going to be good and bad people under any belief system. I was thinking of LaVeyan Satanism which is the main 'organised' form of the religion as far as I'm aware and they certainly don't encourage such disgusting acts. Yes, that is evil, but that doesn't mean everyone who calls themself a 'Satanist' is evil.
