| Message | Go to a casino on welfare day and tell me who's gambling there. It's the poor misbegotten dregs of Jorka's miserable underclass. Gambling is mostly done by poor people. Satan hates the poor, right? |

| Message | nobody forces anyone to gamble, it's their own decision. If they can't afford to lose but still do it, you can only blame it on their own stupidity. 1. Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid. |
