    some people are satanists without even knowing it - but what they do is the proof. They would never call themselves satanists. And satanism is, as any other philosophy, interesting. You can learn what it's about without necessarily taking it. But to some extend it's of course bullshit - lying to yourself. But lying to yourself sometimes helps - unless it's all your life. Who says that he couldn't be jewish and satanist at once? Things like that happen, people take from every religion what they think, suits them. It's generally not about the way something is called but about the way it is.

    He isn't the only one! There are many many very powerful people practicing Satanism undercover all over the world! Many in Hollywood, many in Government, Big Business, etc. It's bigger than Satanism….a level of evil that most cant comprehend, and there's an agenda and it isn't pretty. Wake up!! Stop believing everything you are told! Research the New World Order, the Council on Foreign Relations and it's membership, research the Federal Reserve, the 9/11 Truth Movement, Research Quantum Physics which sheds light on (and just a beginning) of who humans are…the brain and what it's capable of…how our bodys really work. Wake up. Please!

    This is old news perez. I did some religious studies a few years back and discovered this in a book someone gave my hubby. And, i have to say, who cares if he was, to each his own, right?!

    This is kind of olds news Mario. And as it's been said MANY times in this thread, you probably should read up onm this subject before believing the very very wrong stereotypes about Dr Anton LaVey's beliefs. Not to mention most of the things so far said HERE are wrong. And for the record, I too am a LaVey Satanist!

    Re: Revere – Those who deny christ will never see his kingdom. The only priesthood is the one Jesus himself bestowed.

    113

    I suppose Sammy was in the mob too? See, he hung out with Frank Sinatra who had known mob friends. So, by that logic(he was seen with Satanists a few times), he MUST be one. Not that he was famous and people were hanging out with HIM, even if he didn't know them.

    it was a big publicity stunt that a lot of celebrities did back in the sixties. Jayne Mansfield did the same thing.

  16. cj says – reply to this


    116

    Duh! It was widely known that he was a Satanist. So was Jayne Mansfield and Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island). Big deal.

    117

    Whos cares what the Candy man was into, he is still a cool MoFo. Sammy and I could have read the Satanic Bible together. It is good to be well rounded!



  18. 118

    The man is no longer here to defend himself. For those of us old enough to remember Mr. Davis, Jr., all memories were that of a sweet and extremely talented man who could do everything. He was a true artist. Not a manufactured one put together by giant recording studios. What purpose does it serve to print garbage about one our greatest american entertainers who has passed. Shame on you.

    This man is dead. Unless Sammy Davis, Jr is here to defend himself, I don't think people should be talking shit or lies about him. Now, what if people were talking about "old blue eyes", Frank Sinatra? This is blatantly disrespectful and not nice. Everyone who has known him while he was alive has known him to be nothing but nice. This is a man who once talked about how he would get people to feel sympathy for him by referencing his lost eye. Of course he was joking with them. This is also a man who crossed from Christianity to Judaism because he was a man who pretty much believed in erasing racial barriers. Also, it just gives people who are racist something to feed off of in regards to blacks or just Barack Obama himself.

    This is old news. In the book, Secret Life of a Satanist by High Priestess Blanche Barton of the Church of Satan, she revealed this information. Ginger from Gilligan's Island was a member too.

    Rad! Anton LaVey is my hero. Sammy knew what the F was going on!

    Who cares. ANYTHING is better than being a christian!

  25. Lindsa says – reply to this


    125

    Why is it that the Christians are always the most judgmental of other people's religions and beliefs?

    We live in a free country people.

  26. LaVey says – reply to this


    126

    This is nothing new. I've know Sammy was a member of the Church of Satan for years and years. BTW, people. The Church of Satan worships themselves as Gods, not some fairytale entity in the bible.



  27. 127

    NO! he was a jew silly!

  28. tina says – reply to this


    128

    first of all, Pagans are NOT Satanists. They worship nature, much as the native americans did…sun/moon/stars/earth/fairies, etc… It was religion before religion existed. When 'Christians' started on the historical Crusades they called Pagans hethans and satan worshipers since they could not understand this simple religion and converted them by force so that they would subjugate themselves to the Church.
    Secondly, Jews are not satanists either and the implication that one led to the next is obsurd.

    this is about as new as an old wives' tale.

    This was WELL KNOWN back in the 1970's - he was very much studying with the modern day founder of satanism — so yes he was a satanist.

    Of course what they thought satanism is was very different that what most people realize it to be - the devil is going to confuse his followers of course.

    I know that Sammy Davis had always worn a medallion around his neck given to him by Anton LaVey which was the pentagram. Rumour back in day was, Sammy tried to get out of the coven and lost his eye because of it.

  32. Rachel says – reply to this


    132

    It is true, I can't believe this is fucking new news to anybody. I swear anything remotely sub culture-ish doesn't get noticed, or tossed aside. Do a little research, you might surprise yourslef. Sammy was a well know satanist and if you see him on some of Dean Martin's roasts he is wearing a pentagram.

    You're dead wrong there. Christ is, was and always will be!!!! Those who do not follow him, are in for an eternity of torture.

    I'd rather a celeb be a Satanist than a Scientologist. At least Satanists make no bones about their selfish motives!

    I read this over ten years ago. This is not a news flash, it is a true fact he hung out with this guy and at that house on several occasions. Do your homework look it up, this story is older than me!

    I am also a very LOYAL and DEDICATED Satanist.

    144

    If you co,sider that Lavey and his church of Satan was a satanist, then yes he was, but most satanist (the true ones, not the desapointed believer who pretends to be) don't recongnize Lavey as on of them. And i do agree.

    This is bull. Can anyone say Photoshop? This dude hand looks added on and Sammy's head looks added on. Just leave the late great Sammy alone!!!

    This is actually VERY old news. This has been known for years. Also Jane Mansfield was involved with this group back before her death.

    147

    Re: Christ – As a devout Christian, I am deeply offended that you have taken the name of "christ", and professed your loyalty to satanism. Turn your life around, and put your loyalty towards CHRIST, where you will have salvation. You are leading a life of evil.

    Like this is a new revelation? SDJ has never hidden this. Old news. Secondly, who gives a shit? All you Xtian fuckwads need to pull that stick out of your asses and concentrate on more relevant news.
