How should we feel about the Satanic conference held in Boston this past weekend? Billed as “the largest Satanic gathering in history,” SatanCon 2023 was “a three-day event which include[d] everything from satanic rituals, entertainment and panels.” And it began “with the tearing apart of a Bible and the ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag, an item which has come to be viewed as a sign of supporting law enforcement and as opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, MassLive reports.” What should we make of this conference?

Compassion for Their Lost Souls

The first thing that came to my own heart and mind was pity, not anger. To the extent these people are serious satanists, to that extent they are blind and darkened, fighting a guaranteed losing battle. Barring their own repentance and transformation, they are heading for disaster.
