2. Although, I hear, second hand of course

Is that Anton never admited to being an original. If I was to party with either Anton or Crowley, well...I think Anton might have taken your wallet but Crowley might have taken your wife. ;-)

3. yeah he was all those things perhaps but..

He was an original. He was a smart guy who spent his life cultivating an archetypal Satanic personae for himself. Very creative. Great theater! I regret that Satanism these days seems to have lost all sense of theater, playfulness, fun and irony.

LeVay was entirely himself. I liked that about him.

5. It is too bad that his house was torn down

I think a visit to the Black Mansion would be interesting.

It's rare to find such self-aggrandizing tripe outside of the writings of christian fundamentalists. The bit about psychic vampires? Please. Tired of tripping over the homeless, much, LeVay?

I would have expected so much more out of anti-religion.

"There are two kinds of truths: small truth and great truth. You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another great truth."
I suppose Niels Bohr's observation on great truths is, itself, a great truth: the opposite of a great lie is also a great lie.

On Edit: Grammar fix

7. If that isn't true

then it sounds so good that it should be!

But I suppose a "Great Truth" is a matter of agreed upon values and an "Opposite" is more often defined by what we're merely predisposed to notice than by all the things we've never considered at all.

:crazy:

8. Anton Levay

He was a huckster of the first order who shamelessly claimed the work of others as his own. It is fitting that he died alone as a public charge.
