The Halls now spill over onto three servers, not counting
Internet Trash, where they linger. That, if it sticks
around, I'll probably use as photo gallery space, blocked
from the search engines because I've had enough trouble
getting the new site to show up in Google as it is.
The Cafe Satan material will mostly be in the new space
at Bravenet, as most of it is not controversial enough to
run into Bravenet's (admittedly restrictive) TOS. The new
page is part of that section of this site, and is entitled
"The Seven Deadly Sins: Have You Been Putting Them Off?"

The forum is, as I've said, not a place for the serious
Satanist. Not because of any anti-Satanist sentiments on
my part; I badly freaked out a previous ISP by publishing
something called "The Pamphlet of Intense Dislike" (since
deleted from the Dejanews archives), which could only be
termed pro-Satanist. But Satanism is serious religion,
something that does not lend itself to soundbites, and
the Cafe is more for relaxation than for serious philosophy.
The Theology you see bears no connection to anything that
ever came from LaVey's Church of Satan, or any other
Satanic institution; it's purely fictional, and the last
thing I want to do is add to the large amount of public
misinformation about Satanism already out there. I felt it
necessary to make sure that people understood that. Of course,
if an active, practicing Satanist wanted to come onto the
board, and clear up some of those misconceptions, he would
be more than welcome to do so. But then, what are the odds
that one of those will even be reading this, I suppose.
