Quote of
the Day

The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people do not like that statement, but few can argue it.
— Kenneth V. Lanning, FBI Report on Occult Crime, Oct. 1989
