2.0 out of 5 stars Good intentions and a whole lot of paranoid misinformation, March 19, 2002
By Amazonbombshell (Milwaukie, OR, USA) - See all my reviews
I was raised Christian. A good many of my friends and all of my family members practice that religion, and they are all good people I am proud to know.

I think Bob Larson is a good man, too. His intention in SATANISM is to protect American youth and American morals, but his view is far too narrow. It is obvious that Mr. Larson knows very little about the institutions and symbols he denounces as "Satanic." The peace sign? Major stretch of the imagination. Dungeons and Dragons? Give me a break! Wicca? Please! (Mr. Larson very obviously has never met a true Wiccan, or he would never say that they anything but intelligent, peace-loving, NORMAL human beings who seek to know the Divine just as Christians do.)

I do not recommend burning this book, ripping it up, or using it as toilet paper, as so many readers before me have suggested. It is Mr. Larson's right, as it is mine, to espouse and to publish his own opinions. However, I also do not recommend that you read this book if you are looking for serious information on Satanism. There are other, less paranoid, better researched versions out there. This book is more concerned with impressing a strict and intolerant morality on the American public than it is in truly informing us of anything solidly based on more than a few distraught callers on the author's radio show.

So thank you, Mr. Larson, for caring about the state of morality in America. But really, Bob, you need to educate yourself about the things you believe to be "evil" from more than just the conservative Christian perspective. Well intentioned they may be, but books like this can do a great deal of damage to the very CHRISTIAN virtues (shared by many other religions, in case you forgot to check that out, too) of love and tolerance. You should know that your book made me weep, and it was not for the degenerate state of American youth culture, but for the pettiness and fear your words can only perpetuate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unintentionally hilarious, January 19, 1998
By A Customer
Basically a Jack Chick mini-comic stretched to book length. If this book was taken seriously, it probably would've raised some eyebrows. It is so amateurishly done, however, that it cannot be taken seriously.

Only worth reading for lowbrow entertainment, this self-indulgent "reference" shows the typical dangers feared by the "satan-worship-conspiracy" crowd (rock music, D&D, etc.).

Since the author has recently covered (on his radio show) the evil conspiracies behind Barney the purple dinosaur, the evil messages espoused by The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and the time that a demon took human form and impersonated Bob Larson himself, we can only hope for a sequel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Puddles of fun.., November 10, 2005
I have had a hard time not to think that Bob is not just a Satanist posing as a christian writing all this stuff and wiggleing with joy as the fundamentalists consume it. (hey if I was rich and had nothing better to do I might do the same)He never questions the "testimonies" of the either joking or disturbed teenagers who annonamously call his show. He tries, rather patheticly, to appeal to a secular audience with the symbols page which contains among others, the anarchy symbol, peace symbol and a representation of the baphomet that is an inverted pentagram with two dots for eyes.
"Im a satanist. I hate your god. I listen to black metal music..." so begins yet another chapter, this one about the always "evil" metal genere.
this book is a bad choice if your looking for actual information, but a good one to add to your satanic panic collection, which must include also "satans underground" or "Michelle remembers". I have wasted enough of my time writing this, ugg.. tired.. my point is if you are a Satanist you may, emphisis on may, want to get this book to entertain you after those long days at work.
