I think Satan has long been active at Harvard. At least he finally shows himself.
To the points:
Just because the Gnostics copied it from us earlier doesn’t make Mass less a Catholic “thing.”
Likewise, I think it’s less incitatory if they can prove they used an unconsecrated
Gnostic host, or maybe even made their own. Where does one get unconsecrated hosts, anyway? And would the organization that makes it - whether monastery, specialty bakery, or commercial bakery - have been willing to sell it? I’ve looked into low-gluten hosts and found they are only sold to Catholic parishes, period; the $atanic Temple either purchased from an organization that doesn’t have a policy against it, or procured it by lying, or by theft.
These people are atheists, not real Satanists. They do this to poke fun at and antagonize Christians. That is their only purpose, I wouldn’t expect to learn that much from them. I think it was Anton Levy’s only pupose too, he was an atheist.
Reminds me of an atheist I got into an argument with once at a keg party (yeah, that’s an interesting story in and of itself). By the end of it, he was stomping around outside cursing God and yelling for God to strike him down. The other partygoers were standing outside thoughtfully looking on and saying “Wow, it’d be really cool if God actually did strike him down.” He did get hit by a car later that night, or more like fell off of mine as we were driving away.
Here’s the thing I don’t grok, then. Harvard approves the black mass as an extension of cultural diversity - celebrating the culture of satanism. The $atanic Temple puts it on as a parody of religion, rather than as their own cultural or religious belief (as they’ve noted, bunch of atheists). So the cultural diversity committee is really not celebrating a religion so much as the parodying of religion. In other words, why not hold a Pastafarian event … if they have any kind of celebration?
A Harvard student recently wrote that academic freedom was a bad thing and we should have "[urlhttp://www.thecrimson.com/column/the-red-line/article/2014/2/18/academic-freedom-justice/]=academic justice
," in which nothing that makes her uncomfortable is studied or has papers written about, certainly not at that bastion of liberalism, diversity, and tolerance known as Harvard!
Harvard is a foreign country, as far as I’m concerned. It doesn’t understand me and neither do its uppity, trust-fund graduates with their misguided notions of how to make the world better. I see little reason to ally myself with them in any endeavor, yet I’d rather protect them from openly inviting evil onto its campus.
Since this is a Harvard ‘educational and informational event,’ perhaps the sponsors could invite Satan himself to attend and answer questions.
He’s already there. He’s been there a long, long time.
I like this idea, quite a bit.
If I were attending Harvard, I would try to organize a multi-denominational Christian prayer event at the same time as the black mass. Reacting to the black mass clearly plays into their hands, but creating a joy filled alternative might give people some pause.
I like another idea as well.
Boycott Harvard. Let’s get 10,000 emails into the Cultural Studies Club (
culturalstudiesclub@gmail.com) with the following:
"I condemn the re-enactment of the so-called Black Mass as a manifestation of evil and an offense to the Christian Mass. The Black Mass arose as a mockery of the Christian Mass, and its practice as a mockery of the Christian faith. You may as well stage a re-enactment of the defenestration of priests by John Calvin, or the guillotining of the clergy by French Revolutionaries. Both are historic events as well, and hold far greater relevance to understanding cultural differences than does this Black Mass.
I know this means little to you, but I offer you this much:
I will not attend Harvard nor write a letter of reference for any student to attend Harvard. I will not sign up for classes through Harvard’s extension or online programs, nor recommend to anyone that they do so.
I will not attend a conference or sporting event sponsored by Harvard.
I will not read anything written by a Harvard scholar, nor published by the Harvard press."
