Related: About this forumSatanist and Wife Killed Men and Buried Them in Yard
according to Charlotte police.
There are Satanists still around? I remember reading The Satanic Bible in HS...it got passed around my crew like Go Ask Alice, but I never knew any Satanists.

A Salisbury, North Carolina, family has more questions than answers after a father missing for years was found buried in the backyard of a self-proclaimed Satanist.
For five years, the family has been holding out hope that their loved one was still alive.
But now they're forced to come to grips with the death of Joshua Wetzler.
Algarads home in Clemmons is painted with pentagrams, and his tongue is surgically forked.
Family members said he bragged about killing people and burying them in his backyard.
Five years ago, police searched the backyard and found nothing.
Recently, there was another murder investigation at the same home.
This time, they found the remains of Joshua Wetzler and another man, Tommy Welch.
Algarad allegedly killed Wetzler, and Algarad's wife, Amber Burch, allegedly killed Welch, according to arrest warrants. Algarad and Burch are each charged with one count of murder and one count of accessory after the fact to murder, police said.
Authorities believe the couple helped each other bury the bodies.

Doesn't say if they were followers of the Satanic Temple or the Church of Satan.

the Inquisition, the Crusades, the dissolution of the English monasteries, the witch hunts, etc.

Unless you count Libertarians.
The Rules of Satanism sound an awful lot like Libertarianism...
