I came across a disturbing quote this week that reminded me of the danger of hypocrisy.

Anton LaVey, who died in the late 1990's, was the founder of the Church of Satan and author of the Satanic Bible.  He received national attention for his Satanic funerals, Satanic weddings, and Satanic baptisms.  He even named his final child, born in 1993, Satan LaVey!

I don't know all the reasons that drove Anton LaVey to teach such wretched things.  But this quote, from the introduction to the Satanic Bible, gives us a shocking insight.  It refers to one of LaVey's first jobs, working as a musician and hired hand with a traveling circus in the late 1940's.
