I figure since I am always rightfully bashing Scientology, I thought I would share something about the "religion" of another actor. This late 20 something A-/B+ film actor has a little secret that belies his primarily clean cut image. He is a devout follower of Anton LaVey. He has a first edition Satanic Bible which was personally signed by LaVey. Our actor also has the number 9 tattooed on himself to signify the nine rituals of the Satanic Church. He even went so far as to purchase some land where he and other followers use to practice many of these rituals.
James Franco
Makes him kinda hotter ; )
ReplyDeleteHotter my arsss. do you know what rituals they practice? If you knew you would find it big sh**t and nightmares
DeleteIt is probably a schtick to snare bims with, which is more respectable that $cientology.
ReplyDeleteHe's so deep and method
ReplyDelete@TTM: totes. That, and his blow up girlfriend Kiki.
DeleteHe's a wackadoodle. Still like him despite. Not going to any house parties with him though.
ReplyDelete@ Fancy.. Agreed on all accounts. plus its just not cool at all. What is his mantra burning babies, worshipping satan, rejoicing when evil is done. There s nothing nice or good about Satanism. I hope this isnt true but I think it is.
Deleteof course the other 2 delinquents comment immediately haha
ReplyDeleteIf this is a made-up blind, it's silly. If it's true, it's still silly.
ReplyDeleteThis creeps me out.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
DeleteYes, chopster correct, creepy to the max.
ReplyDeleteJames Franco could have full-on public sex with several men and I still wouldn't believe him to be gay. Everything he does is for effect. So, if this is true I'm surprised he hasn't told everyone. He should hook up with GaGa and they could perpetrate a lot of fake bullshit together.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea there was such a thing as a Satanic Bible.
ReplyDeleteHow silly - and done to death. Thought we got over this schtick about the time we saw Ozzy cleaning up dog doo-doo. Besides, this guy is all about attention. He probably does it knowing it will freak some people out.
ReplyDeleteJayne Mansfield was a satanist too.
ReplyDeleteshe was banging Anton up until she died.
Satanism follows the same practice as Wicca, except Wicca sees their "god" as a diety, where as Satanism sees their "god" as yourself. u are your own "god".
they are the only 2 religions that accept homosexuality too.
Say what! So Christianity isn't a religion because I know the church I just got back from attending accepts homosexuality and so do the Anglicans. And my church isn't either Scientology or Satanism. Not only are you narrow minded, you are just plain idiotic.
ReplyDeletefirst off JW, shut your mouth w/ the name calling.
Deleteif your church allows same sexes to marry, thats fukn badass!
what i was implying was, not many churches allowed that b4 politics got involved.
many same sex marriages were usually preformed in front of a judge or minister.
not a priest.
James Franco would be the first satanist vegan in the world
ReplyDeletemaybe it's true :he does a video for his band DADDY who is very "satanist"
http://www.blackbookmag.com/watch-james-franco-turn-kenneth-anger-into-an-occult-priest-in-the-video-for-love-in-the-old-days/
the problem is that with Franco,it's all "performance" all time even his private life
So, the BatFacial was really an offering?
ReplyDeleteI remember the popular guess for this one was Orlando, which probably would be the only interesting about him.
ReplyDeleteI was coming here to say the same thing, seems like Orly had other demons tho.
Deletehe is ridiculous and embarrassing at this point
ReplyDeleteSince I can't stand the phony this only makes me dislike him more
ReplyDeleteBS
ReplyDeleteOMG. So Franco, of all the actors in Hollywood, really HAS made a pact with his Dark Lord Satan. I'll bet he and Dick Cheney are secret buddies.
ReplyDeleteI believe this post as much as I actually believe in Satan for the record---I dont!
ReplyDeleteSo they sacrificed goats and killed virgins?
ReplyDeleteOh boy....Belinda Carlisle, lead singer of Go Go's, also had the first satanic "bible" she admitted when she was 15.
ReplyDeleteGoodness that ish freaks me out. If its true. Im gonna be looking for that 9 tattoo.
He reminds me of the goth kids in middle school piercing their own eyebrows with safety pins in the back of the classroom. He's hardcore yo!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bunch of hoey. And satan so called bible, and worship and wiccin stuff is a bunch of crap. Its not any kind of religion, just nonesense.
ReplyDeleteReal satanism has nothing to do with sacrifices and crap. Tbh, I think the LaVey satanism doens't even do rituals, so this blind is BS. LaVey satanism is all about believing in yourself, not in a god or devil.
ReplyDeleteAnd how was James Franco A- in 2008? He had only done Spiderman 3 at the time and some crappy romcoms/uncredited work.
ReplyDeletePer Wiki
ReplyDeleteSatanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshiped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrifice.
so I guess I am a satanist...my parents will be so proud...
ReplyDeleteMazel, Derek.
Deletesee just makes him cooler. he should hook up with the guy who did the farrah abrams porno, was it james peen? man that guy loves himself
ReplyDeleteSo his religion is less acceptable than any other because...
ReplyDeleteright on Hammer_Girl.
ReplyDeletebelieve me, i'm not a fukn Satanist, i embrace all religions.
ppl just get freaked out by the word Satan.
one thing that pisses me off tho, is many refer the upside down cross, to Satan.
which its totally not.
its the cross of St. Peter.
he was crucified, like Jesus.
but Peter had to much respect for Jesus, that if he was to die like him, he wanted to be crucified, upside down.
I've forgotten how to do clickys (help, please?) but apparently Barbara Bush is the daughter of Aleister Crowley (would explain a LOT)
ReplyDeleteI read that Marilyn Monroe was also close to LaVey.
ReplyDeleteZaza Gabor too.
DeleteSo Satanism and the modern Kabala are pretty much the same in that you are your own god. Interesting. Self-serving!
ReplyDelete@Liddy: All religion is nonsense.
ReplyDeleteSatanism is nothing more than an attempt to justify narcissism.
Count, that is what i was coming on here to say! Lol. Religion is mans way of fighting his darker side.
Delete+100000 count
Deleteit had its purpose, we should be moving on to
more mathematical/science "worship" or whatever you'd like
to call it, if we as a species want to progress.
Sounds like bullcrap to be honest, but it is good gossip if true.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that Crowley/ Barbara Bush thing an April Fools joke that people took way too seriously.
The best bit of Crowley gossip I heard recently was that he was engaged to designer Eileen Gray. I thought that was mind-boggling especially as I didn't think he (or indeed any man) was her type.
Good Lord. Barbara Bush's father was Marvin Pierce, president of McCall's Publishing.
DeleteAnd as others have noted, real Satanists don't actually have weird rituals. Sheesh. (THE SATANIC WITCH is kind of a fun read.)
ReplyDeleteI have a theory.
ReplyDeleteSanta, Satan. Anagrams.
Both wear red, both like giving gifts to small children.
The satanic bible is actually an interesting read, the most basic concept I remember was that turning the other cheek was basically for the weak, and you have the rights and responsibilities to act in what you perceive are your best interests at all times. Really not much different than the way a lot of people act, and I think people would be surprised as to the content of the book, nary a spell or sacrifice to be found (that I can recall).
ReplyDeleteTruth, IIAlsoRC. It's not neatly as scary/creepy as fokks think. It's basically...humanism? No, that's not right. What's the philosophy I'm thinking of? Drunk on eggnog for real, I am. At any rate, yes, it's basically just the idea that we don't have to fight our lustful, selfish natures, because we're just being human animals, after all.
DeleteThere is NO James Franco. There is only the James Franco Experience, and performance art piece/put-on. It will last his entire life. There will be Andy Kaufman-esque rumors about him long after he is gone. Some of them, may eventually prove correct.
ReplyDelete@Elliot
Delete^5 on your post. Lol
What I was going to say, AppleThief. There is only "Franco The Art," everything he does from taking a poop to going to the dentist.
DeleteEdgy.
ReplyDeleteThis BI is total crap. Franco would surely know that LaVey's "church" was all a campy goof. In his last years LaVey was a figure in the SF post-punk scene, and debunked all the stories about himself with wry good humor.
ReplyDeleteHis CD of organ music is a hoot, though. Check out his cover of "Honolulu Baby."
Yes I call BS on this reveal
ReplyDeleteI am Evan's complete lack of surprise.
ReplyDeleteEvan, that just made me so nostalgic for that book! Must dig it oot
DeleteHammer Girl..Thanks for the info. Very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI'd be surprised if this blind was real. I'm thinking it's not.
Ja'mie King- Are you the REAL Ja'mie? Just discovered that recently and it's hilarious!
I don't know, @B Profane. He named his kid Satan Xerxes. I guess that's commitment either way.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what happened on turkey day to land you in jail?
"I don't know, @B Profane. He named his kid Satan Xerxes. I guess that's commitment either way."
ReplyDeleteI knew people who hung out with LaVey in SF in the 90's. He played his role to the hilt but Satanism was all just a big goof to him.
"Anyway, what happened on turkey day to land you in jail?"
Eh, jail happens. It's amazing that I've been busted so few times, given the life I've lead. It wasn't a DUI or domestic violence pop, if that's what you're asking.
The worst part was the loonie in the unit who would periodically get control of the TV so that he could sing along with Miley's "Wrecking Ball" video. I shit you not, a 300 lb white trash manic depressive, covered in bad tatts, dancing around in just his boxers bellowing out "Wrecking Ball"...over and over and over.
I spent the long weekend with my ears plugged with prison asswipe, re-reading "Grapes of Wrath." It seemed fitting.
Eh. I've read Anton's book. Like every other book, it's got some good points and some ridiculous ones. And yes, as others have pointed out, most of it is just about the teaching that the Self is the centre of the universe. Not really my style. We're Unitarian - and totally accepting of homosexuality, by the way, @WareCat.
ReplyDeleteby the way Cee Kay, Unitarians believe that God is Jesus, which defeats the whole purpose of Jesus being Gods son.
ReplyDeletelike i fukn' said b4,
your church may accept homosexuality, but did they have the honor to bless a same sex marriage?
fancyscreenname said it best: He's a wackadoodle. (IF this BI is true which I wouldn't bet on)
ReplyDeleteInteresting reading this post. You guys always learn me something new!
ReplyDeleteSatanism? It's Ayn Rand with goth costumes and piercings with off-shoots of creepy kids and sadists.
ReplyDeleteJames franco doesn't have tattoos
ReplyDelete"by the way Cee Kay, Unitarians believe that God is Jesus, which defeats the whole purpose of Jesus being Gods son."
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't. There is in fact no actual dogma or official deity in the UU church.
He is repulsive.
ReplyDeleteI don't care what anyone's stupid religion is, but anyone who hurts animals to practice their religious nonsense is evil and a real asshole. Don't hurt animals over this stupid shit.
ReplyDeleteWait this "scholar" is dumb enough to follow huckster Anton Levay? Anton was an outright fraud making money off of stupid people.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I saw shitloads upon shitloads of LaVey's photos. That dude must have been some Satanic pussywrecker, to say nothing of his celebrity status. Maybe Franco is going for that sort of schtick too. Ruthless hedonism and chicks. Where do I sign up?
ReplyDeleteSatanic? I'm stunned he's considered A-/B+
