April 24th update
Hmmmm...can I presume someone else has actually read the satanic handbook? Its funny how many people actually don't have a clue whats in it, but are
so ready to burn it.
Btw...agnostic...not a subscriber...I just enjoy ready all sorts of mythology.
Liked the AsylumWalls easter eggs...though it was a lot of story and little action...but considering how the first two of the arc started, it doesn't
come as a suprise or a disapointment.

I too caught the Asylum Walls in this episode. I've also seen at least one graphic from this site in one of the stories.
This episode was interesting, even without a lot of action. Good story development. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Btw...since at least one person has decided to spill the beans on their choice of belief, I'll have a go at it too. Christian. I know that's not
what you'd expect from a fan of both sites, but live and learn. I'm happy to share and politely debate with anyone on any topic, but I won't claim
to know it all or try to push my beliefs on you. Please don't try and push yours on me.
It's been a long time since I read LaVey's Satanic Bible. Is this the same as the Satanic Handbook?

Thanks for the feedback (yeah I know I aways say that. But I always mean it).
No, I've never read the Satanic Handbook or Bible. But I consider keeping a general "writer's knowledge" of such things to be part of my job.
My knowledge of Satanism comes from my high school days. No, I won't elaborate. I just assumed what I learned then was accurate and went with
it.
It actually IS funny how little people know about religions other than their own, and yet they're always quick to pass judgement or condemn someone
based on it. And I love it when ignorant Christians start talking about Muslims being terrorists. I guess bombing abortion clinics is something
entirely different, right? Sure. I could rant about that all day, but I don't think its necessary with this crowd... espescially since the
characters in the story said it already.
There was absolutly no physical action in this chapter. The action... violence, even... was emotional. I guess ya can't have a demon attacking
somebody in every chapter (although, if you DARE me...), but this last one (chapter 3) is my favorite one of the story so far. But don't worry...
strange things start happening again soon enough.
I wonder what the presence of the "Asylum Walls" on that computer screen means? Could it be that, in the world in which Saint Noir takes place,
there is a Dark Icon? I wonder if he (she!?) is doing a Book of Dark Places as well... and if so, what is THEIR second story about? (...and if
they're doing their own version of Saint Noir, what is appearing on that screen in their story!?) ...my head hurts.
A graphic from this site did indeed appear in Damnation Denied. It wasn't a screen-shot, though. Dr. Silvers had a picture of Zade on the wall in
his office.
I am not a Character.
I am Real.
And I know where you Dream. |

I have to agree with you on the bombing of abortion clinics. I'll also throw in the protests at military funerals and numerous quotes by people like
Falwell and Robertson. People like these give Christians a bad name.
We're not all like that. Heck, this one can hardly wait for updates to BODP and the origianal DI stories. I miss December and crew. Part of me really
wants to see N'Doki get all wrath-of-de-gods at some point.

I second that. Hell, I'll third and fourth it.
Any fifths?
