I wasn't sure where to post this, but settled on General Discussion. I honestly don't know where to start..

Feeling a mixture of 'poor tree' and 'What was that about Satanism?'

[Siloh]

Why does blood always mean Satanists, anyway? Plenty of people of other faiths promote animal sacrifice. The one that first comes to mind is the rather outdated Jewish tradition of swinging and killing a chicken for the New Year. Some traditionalists, often immigrants or first-gen American Jews, still lament that the chicken has mostly been replaced with various symbolic props. And, obviously, no one is claiming great uncle Mortimer or grandpa Seymore is a Satanist.

[Jembru]

Yeah, I don't imagine genuine Satanists have much interest in Glastonbury anyway. What is there, religiously speaking, to attract them? Sounds more like 'dark fluff' to me.

The highly Satanic reason my fiancée and I are fleeing to Britain ASAP is for graduate degrees.

Yes, if slaughtering lambs will help me become a Master of Letters. But I would probably look for my victims in Scotland, where they seem to be plagued by the bleating minions.

One idea might be that someone chopped it down to sell splinters on tv as holy relics..

Does the fact that I'm perturbed by this Bishop's picture mean I'm possessed?
