Imitation is not always the sincerest form of flattery!



At 10:07 it sounds like I said 'twenty-eight'. I did not. It was a micro-belch which I missed and, believe me, I wasn't about to do the frigging video over again.

For Those Who Love Their Children

Study adds to evidence of vaccine safety
By CARLA K. JOHNSON
CHICAGO (AP) - A new study from Italy adds to a mountain of evidence that a mercury-based preservative once used in many vaccines doesn't hurt children, offering more reassurance to parents.

In the early 1990s, thousands of healthy Italian babies in a study of whooping cough vaccines got two different amounts of the preservative thimerosal (pronounced thih-MEHR'-uh-sawl) from all their routine shots.

Ten years later, 1,403 of those children took a battery of brain function tests. Researchers found small differences in only two of 24 measurements and those "might be attributable to chance," they wrote in the February issue of the journal Pediatrics, which was released Monday.

Only one case of autism was found, and that was in the group that got the lower level of thimerosal.

Autism is a complex disorder featuring repetitive behaviors and poor social interaction and communication skills. Scientists generally believe genetics plays a role in causing the disorder; a theory that thimerosal is to blame has been repeatedly discounted in scientific studies.

"Put together with the evidence of all the other studies, this tells us there is no reason to worry about the effect of thimerosal in vaccines," said the new study's lead author, Dr. Alberto Tozzi of Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome.

The debate over thimerosal and autism has been much stronger in the United States than in Italy, Tozzi said. But the researchers recognized a chance to examine the issue by going back to the children who had taken part in the 1990s whooping cough research.

Randomization sets the new study apart. The random assignment of children rules out the chance that factors other than thimerosal, such as education or poverty, caused the results.

Thimerosal, used in some vaccines to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus, hasn't been in U.S. childhood vaccines since 2001, except for certain flu shots. Italy and other European nations began removing it in 1999. U.S. health officials recommended the removal of thimerosal as a precaution and to reduce the overall exposure of children to mercury.

Safety regulations still require multi-dose vials of vaccines to contain some type of preservative to prevent the spread of infection from contaminated vials.

The study, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drew praise from outside experts.

"It's yet another well done, peer-reviewed research study that has demonstrated there is no risk of any neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with thimerosal in vaccines," said epidemiologist Jennifer Pinto-Martin of the University of Pennsylvania.

"This becomes the fourth study to look for subtle signs of mercury toxicity and show the answer was 'no,'" said Dr. Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the author of a book on autism research and the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine.

Tozzi said comparing children with no exposure to thimerosal could have improved the study. "However, if thimerosal were a cause of harm, it is likely that this effect would increase with the administered dose," he said.

The children received either 62.5 micrograms or 137.5 micrograms of ethyl mercury from all their shots during their first year of life. Thimerosal breaks down as ethyl mercury in the body. Before the reduction of thimerosal in the United States, the maximum exposure for infants was 187.5 micrograms of ethyl mercury.

The researchers found the children in both groups scored, on average, in the normal range on 11 tests of memory, attention, motor skills and other brain functions.

Those 11 tests included 24 measured outcomes. Small, but statistical differences were found for only two of those areas, and only for girls. The girls with higher exposure scored worse on a finger-tapping test with their dominant hands, and on a vocabulary test in which they were asked to name common objects.

There was no difference in boys on those outcomes or others. Researchers also found no difference in tic disorders. And the one autism case found in the lower-intake group was likely a chance finding, Tozzi said.

Officials say 'bad science' links vaccines, autism
By KEVIN FREKING and LAURAN NEERGAARD

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bitter feuding over a possible link between vaccines and autism won't go away despite a strong rejection of that theory by a special federal court.

Thousands of families were hoping to win compensation and vindication through three test cases presented to the court. They contended that a combination of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine plus other shots triggered autism.

Officials with the U.S. Court of Claims said they sympathized with the families, but there was little if any evidence to support claims of a vaccine-autism link.
The evidence "is weak, contradictory and unpersuasive," concluded Special Master Denise Vowell. "Sadly, the petitioners in this litigation have been the victims of bad science conducted to support litigation rather than to advance medical and scientific understanding" of autism.

Attorneys for the families said an appeal is a distinct possibility. They also noted that the court still must rule on another theory that vaccines once carrying a mercury-containing preservative are to blame.

The head of a consumer group that questions vaccine safety said she still felt there were the possibility of a link.
"I think it is a mistake to conclude that because these few test cases were denied compensation, that it's been decided vaccines don't play any role in regressive autism," said Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center.

Science years ago concluded there's no connection, but Thursday's rulings in a trio of cases still have far-reaching implications. The move offers reassurance to parents scared about vaccinating their babies because of a small but vocal anti-vaccine movement. Some vaccine-preventable diseases, including measles, are on the rise, and last fall a Minnesota baby who hadn't been vaccinated against meningitis died of that disease.

"We need ongoing research into the causes of autism but cannot let unfounded myths keep us from giving our children the proven protection they need against infectious diseases," said Dr. Joseph Heyman, chairman of the American Medical Association.

More than 5,500 claims have been filed by families seeking compensation through the government's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Thursday's rulings dealt with the first three test cases to settle which if any claims had merit - and unlike in civil court, the U.S. Court of Claims doesn't require the families to prove the inoculations definitely played a role, just that they probably did.

"I must decide this case not on sentiment but by analyzing the evidence," said Special Master George Hastings Jr., writing specifically about Michelle Cedillo of Yuma, Ariz., who is disabled with autism, inflammatory bowel disease and other disorders that her parents blame on a measles vaccine given at 15 months.

"Unfortunately, the Cedillos have been misled by physicians who are guilty, in my view, of gross medical misjudgment," Hastings concluded.

Lawyers for the families said they were disappointed.

"There was certainly no scientific proof that vaccines caused autism, but that's not the standard; the standard is likelihood," said Kevin Conway of Boston, who represented the Cedillos. "We thought our evidence was solid."

Autism is best known for impairing a child's ability to communicate and interact. Recent data suggest a tenfold increase in autism rates over the past decade, although it's unclear how much of the surge reflects better diagnosis.

The PDV interview (2007)



JS: Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your time and participation. I’d like to conduct this interview in a written manner so that I do not misquote you or misrepresent what you say in any way. I feel it will better keep the integrity of the over-all piece and certainly your convictions this way. I hope this is okay. I do want you to know that there will be no commentative or judgmental remarks in postscript, the quesns will be printed as they appear below along with your answers. Our magazine does not censor so please feel free to express yourself in any way you choose.

Mr. Valentine, I want to thank you so much for taking the time to participate in this interview and share with me and my readers your views and philosophies. Would you mind just telling us a little about you, your life and everyday activities, perhaps what you do for a living?

PDV: First off, Joshua, I must thank you and your publication for your interest in anything I have to say.

Now then, my life...

• I was born in Bennington Vermont at 2:28 P.M. on January 8, 1956 and grew up about eleven miles west in a small town on the New York/Vermont border. I graduated high school in 1974 and attempted a few stints at universities here an abroad, none of which ended in degrees. Though my I.Q. test result was a mind boggling 179, the fact that I can’t count past ten without removing my shoes and socks speaks volumes.

• I have Two brothers; Brian (55) and Mark (46). Brian is one of the coolest people on Earth and Mark can’t die soon enough. Little bastard... My half-sister Michelle (39) lives somewhere in Idaho and I last had contact with her in 1997. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and apparently never quite grasped the concept of leaving a forwarding address.

• I have nine living children (two non-biological, Liza and Carrie ). My first daughter (Amanda) died when she was ten, and we lost Danni in 2004 when she was twenty-four. My son John Paul (12) is the youngest and my only boy. His birthday is the day before mine.*

• I’ve spent many years traveling/living throughout the U.K. and Europe in general. In fact only my son and two daughters — Amanda #2 and Cole* — are American.*

• In 1983 I moved to New Haven CT (easily the second smartest decision I’ve made) and I was there until 2001 before relocating to MI.

• I’ve been married five times (widowed from my first). One happened because, well... it was the 80s, I was in New Haven CT, and Yale University had the best LSD on the planet. After a night I’ll never remember (but one which a friend —and drummer for a very famous metal band — threatens to expose photos of) I awoke with a ring on my hand, looked over at a girl I’d never seen before, and thought “God I hope she speaks English...”

There’s more but about now I can literally hear snoring.

JS: Secondly, I’d like for you, if you don’t mind, to briefly describe your religious beliefs and convictions. Do all the members of your family share them?

PDV: I‘m an atheist and skeptic. Nevertheless as an occultist (yeah I know - oxymoron) I believe in what many call the demonic. Obviously as an atheist I don’t suggest they‘re nasty little denizens clawing at hapless Christians from the pits of Hell. What I do believe is that they are me, my family, and my friends from a parallel universe who have the knowledge and ability to occasionally connect with me and help when I’m in need. Quantum physics is the occult‘s best friend.

My wife is a believer in God but not a Christian. My children range from atheist to Jewish to Christian. Thankfully none are Scientologists because, well, I’d have to kill them.

JS: How do your beliefs differ from institutionalized Satanic organizations such as The Church of Satan or the Temple of Set?

PDV: I think what I said earlier gives an idea as to how my beliefs differ from the Church of Satan. Also, The Cos represents a neo-fascist/borderline Nazi attitude, especially when it comes to any individual they feel doesn’t fit the mold.

JS: Do you have any respect for these organizations and their leaders?

PDV: The Church of Satan is a group of social pariahs and misanthropes. It’s as simple as this: racist atheists playing dress up.

I’ve not had much association with the Temple of Set within the last decade, but I respect Dr. Michael Aquino and his wife immensely.

JS: I know that you have issued an invitation for debate to Peter Gilmore, the high priest of the Church of Satan, has he accepted or acknowledged your request? I personally would love to see an uncensored, lengthy and honest debate between the two of you. I imagine it would be quite fascinating and thought provoking. There seems to be some bad blood between the two of you but I have unfortunately found very little information on why, would you tell us about that?

PDV: Peter Gilmore will NEVER debate me. He and his flock have spent years fomenting lies about me that (which?) are easily proved wrong. Why? Shall I start with the fact I was never afraid to shine the light of reality on the CoS? NOTHING Anton LaVey (Howard Levey) offered was original. He was an unemployed loser who wanted to make a fast buck and wasn’t afraid to steal the material of others in an attempt to appear more intelligent than he was. Peter Gilmore (being the proper sycophant he is) can’t use the toilet without thinking to himself “What would LaVey do”?

JS: I remember from past interviews that you grew up in a Christian household, more specifically I believe you said Catholic; at what point did you find your true spiritual path and how did you discover it? And do you have a dislike or mistrust with Christianity or other religions?

PDV: Actually I was forced into a Catholic upbringing by the female who gave birth to me. My father was a Lutheran who felt God was best spoken to alone. Preferably in the woods. I was in a Catholic School until ninth grade, but my belief that anyone ascribing to ANYTHING the bible said was retarded pretty much cemented my finishing up in the public school system.

JS: What do you think of New Age, Gnosticism and Wicca?

PDV: Silly. Especially “New Age” and Wicca. Anyone who puts stock in crystals, Ouija boards, tarot cards, etc., needs to be watched.

JS: I’ve seen talk shows in which you have participated, but weren’t really allowed to fully express yourself without interruption or judgment, do you have some resentment about this or regrets participating in what might be construed as blindsiding smear tactics against you?

PDV: Not at all! The beauty of a free society is the luxury an individual has to voice his/her opinions. Have some hurt? Of course. And many have infuriated me. Nevertheless it’s a small price to pay for the ability to speak one’s mind.

JS: On a Talk Show you attended, Kelly & Co., you mentioned a specific belief in demonic forces and that you utilized them in ritual. This is very different from the LaVey crowd, who for example, don’t really acknowledge an actual force. Do you believe in actual demonic entities, spirits or any sort of supernatural creatures? And if so, do you work with them in ritual?

PDV: As I mentioned before, I believe that which I originally chose to call the “demonic” world (basically for the shock value) is a parallel universe. Now when I first spoke to theoretical and quantum physicists about their mathematical “proof” of such things, I began to think that this could explain experiences I’ve had throughout my life, and several years later I’m extremely comfortable with the interpretation I’ve embraced. Again, I believe that in this universe (one of many) we all have duplicates that for the most part are unaware of our existence, yet every so often there is the right conflux of situations and/or energies which allow contact. Each time I’ve experienced it, the encounter initially presents itself as an extremely heightened sense of being watched and then my instincts start screaming; more than likely because these events most often occur in times of potential peril and intense emotional turmoil.

I rarely see anything, but when I do the image is always peripheral. Ninety-nine percent of the time it’s me as an adult or a small child, and occasionally I glimpse my late first wife Jennifer and our deceased daughter Amanda.

Is this going to give the armchair psychotherapists fodder, or what?

JS: In past interviews you have stated that you absolutely do not practice ritual sacrifice; what do you think about people that do? Are people that participate in human or animal sacrifice actually Satanists or something else?

PDV: Where humans are involved It’s murder pure and simple and people who do participate are criminals. With chickens it’s a tad iffy because I’m a proud carnivore (though if I ever walked through a slaughterhouse I’d probably curl up in a fetal position and suck my thumb). Still, the whole “sacrifice“ thing is patently idiotic.

JS: You’ve also mentioned in the past your use of sex magic, is this similar to the Enochian Sex Magic that Crowley wrote a book on?

PDV: Crowley was a disgusting, filthy, perverted fraud who should have been killed at birth. His absolutely worthless writings and the groups elevating him (The O.T.O., etc.) have no place in a sane society. Read ‘Leah Sublime’ and decide for yourself. And his concept of sex magic? That was nothing more than “fuck ‘em in the ass and make a wish”.

JS: Would you mind explaining what makes sex a viable tool for raising energy and utilizing it in ritual?

PDV: It’s fun? Look, magic (I NEVER apply Crowley’s ‘k’) is no more viable than prayer. I used the “sex magic” thing to impress the pagan groupies who would latch onto it - pun intended. No honest person would deny that if sex magic had any legitimacy masturbation would be the most potent form.

JS: You’ve stated that rituals can have a theatricality to them, do you get inspiration from entertainers or artists and if so would you mind sharing who?

PDV: Elvis.

JS: What would a typical ritual be for you?

PDV: Always putting my left sock and shoe on first. Seriously. If I’m not paying attention and in the rare occasion I put the right sock and shoe on, I have to take them off and do the left. Obviously that says a lot about my fractured mental state.

Look, the only function a ritual (I prefer the term ‘working’) has is to stabilize one’s emotional energy and the pinpointing of desire. No magic is involved here.

JS: Do you perform rituals on any specific days or for any specific external reverences such as equinoxes or moon phases?

PDV: No. And if I ever got to the point where I did I’d hope someone would put me out of my misery.

JS: I am sure that you are aware of the growing attention that conspiracy researchers and right-wing Christian fanatics are getting for their outcry over secret societies such as The Bohemian Club, Freemasons and so forth, what do you think about this?

PDV: I’m an honorary member of one of academia’s most famous secret societies (have fun with that one!) and I say more power to them! Fuck the fanatics. Of ANY stripe. Christian, Jew, Muslim, pagan — they all suck. But please do not misinterpret that as my being against holding one’s beliefs close to the heart. But there‘s a very real and wide line between being enthusiastic and a spittle-spewing fanatic.

JS: Do you think there is any legitimacy to their beliefs of what they call “Satanic” ceremonies being performed by members of these societies or their allegations of wide-spread pedophiliac trafficking?

PDV: I’m someone who experienced both emotional, physical, and sexual abuse by the female who gave birth to me until I was eight. I’m sure you won’t be surprised by my belief that child abusers should be killed. Though this shit happens far more often in churches and mainstream society than it does (IF it does) within occult/pagan groups.

JS: These claims that Satanic rituals are being performed by the worlds elite, politicians, industry moguls and so forth seem to be rather ill-informed in that it seems everything people don’t immediately sense is Christian (or whatever organized religion) they simply call Satanic; for example the Cremation of Care ceremony performed at Bohemian Grove. What do you think this ritual is?

PDV: Harmless. The mock sacrifice represents leaving the mundane behind.

JS: How does it make you feel when people just call whatever they don’t understand “Satanic?”

PDV: Until the Republicans took power and school boards started questioning the reality of evolution I never really gave a flying fuck of a rolling doughnut about what the unintelligent, ill-informed, and unwashed of society thought. Now I work hard to educate people to the reality of science and the dangers of becoming sheep.

JS: Are there any stereotypes or flagrant misconceptions you would like to dispel?

PDV: My LIFE dispels flagrant misconceptions. Seriously. Look, I’m a great and loving dad who has never screamed at or struck his children. Nor could I ever even imagine molesting them. According to “experts” I’m a prime candidate for just the opposite. Also, despite my decades of being waist deep in the occult, I prefer daylight and bright colours. And! I love Christmas.

JS: Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, beliefs and views with us. I appreciate it very much, thank you!

PDV: I’ll leave with this line from Miracle on 34th street: “Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.”

Just don’t abuse it.

*Since this interview was published in January 2007, my family has been altered dramatically by the birth of three sons and the death of John Paul.

True High Magic!


Paul Douglas Valentine on New Haven’s News Channel 8’s Positively Connecticut (May 3, 1999)

"On almost any day, sunny or rainy, hikers at West Rock are likely to run into Paul Valentine, even in the middle of a snowstorm. 

Paul Valentine: "All of New Haven was brought to a standstill, and it was almost like I could hear the silence, and if I was ever at any time close to God it was then." 

Paul spends hours every day walking the trails and taking care of them. 

Valentine: "Students would come up here and just ride their bikes, and not care that this is a main tap root and finally I thought well it doesn't seem like anybody is going to be doing anything about this, so I fenced off both ends and planted grass and flowers and various trees." 

Paul doesn't get paid, and he calculates he has spent about $9,000 of his own money on everything from top soil, to grass seed, to flowers and trees that he plants here. That's why he's been called the 'Guardian of The Rock.’ 

Mike Barker, Chief of Parks Security: "It's a good name for him. As long as I have known him he's been coming up and working on the trails, dealing with the erosion problems and he's cleared it all with the state and he's always cleared it with us as to what he's doing and so forth." 

Some people have called Paul Valentine a big man with a big heart. That doesn't mean he can't be tough. Ask any of the hikers he's caught abusing nature. 

He's scolded people he finds littering, and warned people not to ride their bikes over tender plants and tree roots. He's covered over their graffiti, and picked up their cigarette butts. He knows the city and state which jointly own the park can't afford much on upkeep, so he's hoping to encourage other volunteers. 

"It doesn't take much. Come up here with a bag of grass seed, spread some seed. If you see some big rocks in the middle of the trail have been moved, put em back." 

Some people mail seeds to Paul, and friends at nurseries save plants they can't sell. 

"At first they just thought I was a nut case who had no life whatsoever, but then they saw photos of what I have been doing, and heard through word of mouth that its looking really good, and I've had people come up to me and say, here's a ten spot, buy a tree." 

Paul Valentine discovered West Rock Park when he first came to Connecticut about 15 years ago. 

Valentine: "Saw West Rock and just fell in love with the place, and I am a hard core Connecticut fanatic now. If I draw my last breath here I'll go a happy man." 

A happy man who's heart is in a park that's Positively Connecticut. "


Clinton vandals should think about the actions of hero of West Rock (July 10, 1999) 
A New Haven Register editorial. 


To the benefit of all, a Wallingford man tends West Rock State Park. He finds spiritual rewards in the process. 

To the detriment of all, unidentified vandals leave a vile, disgusting mess at a Clinton park. And we wonder what possible reward they might have found. 

The hero is Paul Valentine, 43, who has toiled to improve West Rock in his spare time for 16 years. He's hauled soil, shrubs, flowers, even water to help plants during drought, onto the ridge, often lugging them over walking trails. 

The state has given him permission to do his work, which he estimates has cost him about $9,000 in addition to his labor and love.

Valentine wants to revive the park's ecosystem so more native animals will return. He already has encountered foxes, rattlesnakes and a bobcat there. 

"What is my goal? I want to get people to show more respect for this place," Valentine explains.

He recalls times in the park that were "like a religious epiphany. I've never felt so close to God." 

There was no such feeling at Clinton's Ethel Peters Recreation Complex recently. Perhaps the vandals thought it funny to jam the toilets and smear with excrement the walls and ceilings in two small restrooms during an annual soccer tournament that attracted 70 teams from around the state. Everyone surely agrees it's a laugh riot to damage public property, give the town a bad name, and deny 70 teams and their fans decent sanitation, right? 

Stupid destruction is nothing new. And sadly, it seems society almost expects it from teen-agers; "just a kid's prank," "a part of growing up", and excuses it. 

It's time some answers were found concerning such irrational malice. Most vandals do grow out of it, and yes, many kids do not ever get involved, so it would seem to be a fascinating subject for concerted scientific investigation. 

Studying such irrational behavior could well give us some insights into destructive ignorance at work. Finding ways to encourage reasoning can benefit everyone. 

And finding a lesson from the spirituality possessed by Paul Valentine won't hurt either. 



Mediate fence tiff at West Rock (September 16, 1999) 
A New Haven Register editorial. 

A New Haven Register editorial. 

The dispute between a volunteer park friend and a ranger at West Rock State Park should be resolved simply and quickly. 

The state needs more people like the extraordinary volunteer, Paul Valentine, who has spent 16 years of his life and money restoring and preserving the park's beauty. 

Valentine has devoted himself to planting native shrubs and protecting plants and trees. He is appalled by the litter thrown from the summit, the damage from dirt bikes to walking trails and the vandalism to plantings. 

He has worked closely with both city and state officials. But, he has recently found himself in a disagreement with a state park supervisor, Alexander Sokolow. Sokolow wants him to take down 25 feet of fencing erected to protect trees from erosion and damage to their roots from dirt bikes. 

The state's park official is the first to say Valentine's heart is in the right place. The underfunded state parks could use 100 more volunteers with such a deep love for a park. 

Some quick mediation is needed from someone higher up in the state Department of Environmental Protection. Valentine loves West Rock too much to forsake it over a disputed fence; and West Rock needs the love and tender care Valentine has invested there. 

1986: The World's Introduction to Paul Douglas Valentine and the WCSL!



An excellent insight to the mythical "Satanic child abuse" of the 1980s.

It's been claimed that Fangoria magazine's Scream Greats Vol. 2 killed the series, but that is absolute nonsense. What ended it was not anger at and rejection of this installment by Fangoria readers and horror fans in general, but instead the company's own disinterest in continuing it. My pride in this is not just the fact that it features me and my then fledgling (one month old) Church of Satanic Liberation. Rather it is a valuable expose of factions on both ends of the spectrum - including mine, warts and all. That and the film clips are priceless.

In its initial release, the truly disturbing parts of this production were the obvious psychopaths claiming to have been witness to child sacrifice; acts which NEVER took place. According to an FBI report several years later, the whole "Satanic child abuse" hysteria was groundless, including reports by women claiming they'd been raised to be "breeders for Satan".

There are indeed comedic aspects. I believe the Warrens and Lady Rhea steal the show here, surpassing even my all too obvious drug induced (Comtrex and beer) ramblings. Why? They took their nonsense and themselves seriously. That was a trap I never allowed myself to fall into.

Overall, Scream Greats Vol. 2 is an interesting, important, and comical look into a major social issue of its time. Watch it with an open mind.

Waiting To Play In The Dirt

Northsky

Here In Michigan tomorrow it's expected to be a high of 45 degrees and rainy. I'm very much looking forward to no snow and the sight of my garden again. Last year I planted two young Top Hat blueberries which on average don't produce until the second season. This Spring I'll be adding an older Northsky blueberry to cross pollenate. While blueberries are self-pollenating, the yields are much greater if a different cultivar is introduced. We'll have to wait and see.

Bigger, Bolder, Better!


For twenty-six years the Worldwide Church of Satanic Liberation has been both the most respected and reviled of Satanic organisations. Unlike the Church of Satan and its numerous clones, the WCSL demands its members be free thinkers unafraid to question, challenge, and confront. No ethnic group or religious heritage is frowned upon, and founder Paul Douglas Valentine does not hide behind a plethora of middlemen. He offers immediate access and welcomes legitimate criticism of himself, his ideas, and the WCSL.

Unfortunately, the harmless Satanism of the 1980s that sparked needless fears of human sacrifice, child abuse, etc., has become a potentially very dangerous entity in the hands of a new breed of unabashed Nazis who flaunt their bigotry and hatred. Contrary to most white supremacist groups, the recent wave of “Satanic“ Aryans have rebuked Christianity completely and claim to actually worship Satan. Mr. Valentine and the WCSL vehemently oppose such groups, and believe that pride in one’s heritage is fine so long as others of different bloodlines are not belittled or endangered because of it. The WCSL boasts members of every ethnic group and while most of the roster is atheist, our people bring knowledge and experience in dozens of religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Wicca, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and even Jainism.

Educationally our members range from high school students to PhDs. Nevertheless, they are neither elevated nor ignored by their academic status. As anyone who has had the pleasure of interaction with Mr. Valentine knows, everyone within the WCSL is respected equally.

Equally important is the fact the WCSL does NOT promote an “anything goes” lifestyle because we believe mindless debauchery under the guise of individuality is best left to undisciplined hedonists.

We believe it is impossible to definitely prove or disprove the existence of God or adequately define, describe or understand a deistic existence. We personally find no evidence of any supreme being, collectively. Belief in the existence of the deistic existence is subjective.

We believe that any so-called Holy Scripture is humanly generated, authored by sometimes ordinary and sometimes extraordinary people but never by a supreme being.

We believe that professional gurus, including religious clergy of every type, are extraneous and unnecessary as spokespersons of esoteric wisdom. They should be replaced with objective facilitators who encourage all to think for themselves.

We believe, based on how we want to be treated by others, that (a) We can choose right over wrong without the aid of definitions from any church, creed or belief system; and (b) We are responsible for our own deliberate actions. In some temporal manner we may suffer consequences or reap benefits from our intentional behaviour.

We believe, because fixed doctrines inhibit spiritual and/or intellectual growth and freedom, that mandated creeds or faith tenets should not be required for fellowship or participation in the life of a truth seeking community.

Yearly Membership is $15.00 US. You receive:
1 full-colour, foil embossed WCSL membership card.
