The Freethinker - The voice of atheism since 1881 » Mexican boy blinded in a satanic ritual

As I have stated numerous times before when the term "Satanism" has been used, this is NOT what a follower of the CoS would espouse,
People who believe in some Devilish supernatural being and worship him are Devil-worshippers, not Satanists. Anton LaVey was the first to define Satanism as a philosophy, and it is an atheist perspective. “Theistic Satanism” is an oxymoronic term and thus absurd. In Satanism each individual is his or her own god—there is no room for any other god and that includes Satan, Lucifer, Cthulhu or whatever other name one might select or take from history or fiction.
Nor would The Satanic Temple,
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason,,,One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
As one comment points out, this sound more like a Christian exorcism.

According to this report, five-year-old Fernando Rios was blinded in a bizarre satanic ritual by his mother, aunt, two uncles and grandparents when he refused to close them as they attempted to summon the devil, calling on him to end the world and claim them for his own.

Neighbours disturbed by the screams and chanting investigated and discovered Rios, her sister and two brothers and her parents engaged in the ritual in the poor Nezahualcoyotl area near Mexico city.

A court heard the six danced and cavorted and were told to close their eyes so they didn’t look at the devil when he arrived. They then attacked the terrified boy for disobeying.
