I don't know. Maybe they're right, I don't even know anymore, but this kind of invective just seems odd to me. (Notice "hoaxes," "hysteria," "imagined.")
"A small room off the gallery, filled with newspaper clippings and other historic items, is devoted to the “Gray Faction,” a branch of the Satanic Temple that focuses on covering and dispelling hoaxes like those that caused the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s. Back then, mass hysteria over imagined ritual Satanic abuse caused the closure of a number of child day care centers across the US despite the fact that no reports of abuse were ever substantiated."
I'm by no means a religious nut, but if I get to choose between light and dark, or good and evil, or God and Not-God...I'm going to choose the first every time. This article was published on Halloween, so I'll cut some slack, but for everyone's sake, let's not fucking normalize Satanism? Is that too much to ask???!
