Anton LeVey or Aleister Crowley?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

Poll question: Anton LeVey or Aleister Crowley?

:popcorn:

[Frank Cannon]

1. I think they're both a couple of idiots

But at least AC was somewhat original.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. Are you kidding?

LaVey is a joke.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

4. He even refered to that himself.

:popcorn:

[Call Me Wesley]

Anton LaJoke? ;)

Funny thing is, he founded his church at my birthday. You think it's a sign?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

11. Yeah it could be..........

:popcorn:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. You might be on to something ...

[anarch]

3. I gotta go with Crowley. Anton LaVey was just a shock-value entertainer

I think Crowley meant it for real.

[Bridget Burke]

13. Crowley was not above the occasional joke....

When asked how to pronounce his name, his answer was "rhymes with Holy."

[anarch]

14. this one's even funnier:

The Book of Lies - LIBER CCCXXXIII

69
ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΞΘ*

THE WAY TO SUCCEED -- AND THE WAY TO SUCK EGGS!


This is the Holy Hexagram.

Plunge from the height, O God, and interlock with Man!

Plunge from the height, O Man, and interlock with Beast!

The Red Triangle is the descending tongue of grace; the Blue Triangle is the ascending tongue of prayer.

This Interchange, the Double Gift of Tongues, the Word of Double Power -- ABRAHADABRA! -- is the sign of the GREAT WORK, for the GREAT WORK is accomplished in Silence. And behold, is not that Word equal to Cheth, that is Cancer, whose Sigil is (69)◊?

♋ / ♋
This Work also eats up itself, accomplishes its own end, nourishes the worker, leaves no seed, is perfect in itself.

Little children, love one another!

[Ariana Celeste]

5. Crowley for sure.

LaVey only gets points from me, for the laugh value of his books.

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. I like baked potatoes.

:popcorn:

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. I think all kittens should be euthanized.

:popcorn:

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Christianity should be banned.

:popcorn:

[Sugar Smack]

9. Both, please.

:evilgrin:

[peekaloo]

10. Which one hosted "Satanpiece Theater"?

:dunce:

[pitohui]

15. they were both kinda poseurs

but i guess it takes a certain kind of personality to get that message out

[khashka]

16. Crowley

Definitetely.

LaVey knows he's a joke, that was the point.


Now who was it who posted "How to Succeed And How to Suck Eggs" from the book of lies. There was a commercial that used to say "America wants to Succeed" and I'd think "Some of us do" and start laughing.... and people would look at me funny.


Khash.

[Taverner]

17. Oh AC, "The Beast" all the way

Anton LeVey was a wannabe who went Anti Semetic his last few years (despite the fact he's half jewish)

AC knew Lovecraft, how cool is THAT????

[Swamp Rat]

18. "Mister Crowley, what have they done to your head?"

[jandrok]

19. LaVey never had Ozzy Osbourne sing a song about him.

That alone puts Crowley over the top for me.

[Dr Fate]

20. Crowley for his interesting take on symbols and the effect...

...they have on the human mind.

Most of what I know about him comes from Alan Moore, the famous Sci-fi and Comic Book genius.

[Maine Mary]

21. LOL!

I think I understand AL's evil. AL's is "of the flesh" and AC's is worse. It's from that strange, other-world where-we-all-go-if-bad. :scared:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. Yeah but who do you like more?

:popcorn:

[yurbud]

23. isn't that Dick Cheney without glass and Leonard Nimoy?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

24. PLUEEZ!

:popcorn:

[Maine Mary]

25. Plueez no more fun of my naivete

ok? OH never mind. I was just lost and I'm back away from you freaks. The castle was cool though. Loved the special touches. Who may I ask is the ID?

[blindpig]

26. Crowley!

I've got a 1st edition of Diary of a Drug Fiend. That is some strange shit.

I read the Satanic Bible years ago, what garbage, a fine religion for neocons.
