Get real. It's a bonding ritual at best. They're not 'worshipping' a demon, just linking with each other. All societies; malignant or benevolent, secret, political, fraternal, religious, whatever; do this sort of thing, because it fulfills a basic human need for belonging to some sort of group (even loners, contradictory as that may sound).

It doesn't mean that they actively 'believe' in, nor that they are trying to reconstruct the creed of, some god whose original worship passed out of the world several thousnad years ago.

If (big "if", unbelievable "if", IMO) they really do want to see thousands of their own slaughtered, it'll be for pragmatic reasons, not from devotion to a dead god.

How many silly little rituals & ceremonies are enacted right across the US every week in universities, colleges, sports teams & the gods know where else? This is just another one of those. As Sorcha says, you raised it, you *prove* it beyond any doubt. Anyone can stick a sinister voice-over on an otherwise innocent vid-clip. I bet if Dubya responded in kind, he could reveal all sorts of sinister agenda & intent on the part of the film-maker. Who you going to believe?

When it comes down to it, what you 'want' to believe is anything & everything negative you hear about Bush & The Establishment. Whether it's true or not doesn't actually matter very much, I fear. I could theorize about what kind of thrills you get out of all this paranoia & trolling that you're doing, but this latest load of rubbish is lame, even for you...

LH hits it almost smack on. Base your beliefs on facts wherever possible. Base your facts on your beliefs, & you'll wind up... well, where you already are. The trouble with all of your 'facts' is that they could be linked up & interpreted in thousands of different ways, most of them more or less inocent.

But you like/want/need to believe in only the sinister & awful possibilities. Which is why most people will continue to regard you as rather detached from reality...
