Anton Szandor LaVeyStupidityโThe top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. Itโs too bad that stupidity isnโt painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told.

Anton Szandor LaVeyThe person who takes every opportunity to "pick on" others is often mistakenly called "sadistic". In reality, this person is a misdirected masochist who is working towards his own destruction. The reason a person viciously strikes out against you is because they are afraid of you or what you represent, or are resentful of your happiness. They are weak, insecure, and on extremely shaky ground when you throw your curse, and they make ideal human sacrifices.
