42. *headdesk*
I could go one of several ways on this one:
On the one hand, it would be easy to lapse into hysterical laughter. Both for the absurdity of the story and the idea that Satan worshippers (of which, I am one) have nothing better to do with their time than kidnap and brainwash obscure preachers. What with the orgies, dwarf bowling and annual baby barbeque, we have enough pressure on our time.
On the other hand, it's difficult not to feel a little sorry for a guy who is so obviously delusional.
On the third hand (?), it reminds me yet again that Satanists are the only religious group it's still acceptable to accuse of all kinds of nasty things. Read the story but swap the words "Satan worshippers" for "Jews" or "Buddhists" or even "Muslims" and imagine the reaction that would get from anyone outside the Religious Reich.
