The Ostensibly Uplifting Nature of the Christian…

The ostensibly uplifting nature of the Christian doctrine of sin is something that perhaps has no parallel in other religions. It strikes at the heart of man and shows him the right way to compensate for his weaknesses, so that, knowing it, only the incurable arrogant and those who have not understood it can remain indifferent. The Satanist may reject it, and even dismantle it with arguments; but despite the firmness and indignation of his words, if he has the slightest bit of honesty left to look at himself and judge himself in the innermost recesses of his conscience, he will know that it speaks of no other man but himself, and the path it points to, despite the difficulty, is certainly the path to redemption.
