The Christian Satanic Vade Mecum


Book Description

I have tested the practice of both Judeo-Christianity and Satanism and have determined that Judeo-Christianity is greater. I have also found that without one the other is not fully appreciated. Even more, that one may enhance the other. I have heard those inside the Churches and online to find that there are more Christianists than there are Christians, and more Satanishes than there are Satanists. Catholic, Baptist, Latter-Day Saints, and Messianic Jews are all under a mindset of their title. The words of Christ are worth more than all of the Earth's gold but is wrought with violence by the Christianists. I have found that Satanism is greater than Christianity because Christianity is plagued with Christianism. True and full Christianity is absent where there is Christianism. Christian Satanism is a religion of choices. It is a duality, and only are the two combined as the result of life in those choices. With as many Satanic Bible knock offs there are and as much as the Christian Bible cannot be changed I had decided to create something that stood apart. I didn't set out to create another Satan's bible. I didn't set out to change Christianity. I did set out to change Satanishism and Christianism. I wanted something that stood apart and couldn't be ignored. I had looked to my youth and was honest enough to create in a book the two major influences of my life. I also recalled that I wasn't allowed to be a United States Marine because I brought The Satanic Bible to training. Christianists will reject the Christian Satanic Bible. Christians will not. Human nature demands proportion. It is not until you are without something that you want it. Then there is the law of the forbidden. Without good there cannot be evil, so the old story goes. But, here, I'll tell you a secret. By following only one you are blind to the other, until you see it as everything you are not, as an evil, and the only way it may be known is outside the self. Christianity therefore is selfish. Hence the Christianist. I am not a Christian and I am not a Satanist. I am a Christian Satanist.




Barbie Culture


Book Description

This book uses one of the most popular accessories of childhood, the Barbie doll, to explain key aspects of cultural meaning. Some readings would see Barbie as reproducing ethnicity and gender in a particularly coarse and damaging way - a cultural icon of racism and sexism. Rogers develops a broader, more challenging picture. She shows how the cultural meaning of Barbie is more ambiguous than the narrow, appearance-dominated model that is attributed to the doll. For a start, Barbie′s sexual identity is not clear-cut. Similarly her class situation is ambiguous. But all interpretations agree that, with her enormous range of lifestyle `accessories′, Barbie exists to consume. Her body is the perfect metaphor of modern times: plastic, standardized and oozing fake sincerity.




From Boys to Men


Book Description

More than an anthology of coming out stories, From Boys to Men is a stunning collection of essays about what it is like to be gay and young, to be different and be aware of that difference from the earliest of ages. In these memoirs, coming out is less important than coming of age and coming to the realization that young gay people experience the world in ways quite unlike straight boys. Whether it is a fascination with soap opera, an intense sensitivity to their own difference, or an obsession with a certain part of the male anatomy, gay kids — or kids who would eventually identify as gay — have an indefinable but unmistakable gay sensibility. Sometimes the result is funny, sometimes it is harrowing, and often it is deeply moving. Essays by lauded young writers like Alex Chee (Edinburgh), Aaron Hamburger (Faith for Beginners), Karl Soehnlein (The World of Normal Boys), Trebor Healy (Through It Came Bright Colors), Tom Dolby (The Trouble Boy), David Bahr, and Austin Bunn, are collected along with those by brilliant, newcomers such as Michael McAllister, Jason Tougaw, Viet Dinh, and the wildly popular blogger, Joe.My.God.
