Though I have been a voice against using Satanism in a way that conveys Devil Worship (A common issue in media, especially movies and books), I feel this story was worth the read.I do think this is a decent Creepyasta, and I do think it will most likely win the contest. Now, I rant.

LeVay Satanism and most other Satanic branches are atheistic, only a few are theistic, such as Spiritual Satanism and Theistic Satanism. These theistic branches have roots in religions and philosophy out dating Abrahamic Faiths, such as having roots in Baal Worship, ancient Egypt, and even Mesopotamian culture. The mixture of the word "Satanism" and "Devil Worship" is a very common issue in Creepypastas and horror films. It's just like using Baphomet as a Satanic symbol. It's just wrong. I might as well take a Star of David, put it around my neck, and walk around saying I'm a Buddhist.

A Devil Worshiping cult being called a Satanic cult is an oxymoron. Satan means Opposer. Satanism=Oppose Organised Religion. A cult is organised in ideals. In Satanism and Luciferianism, everyone makes their own morals. (Especially in Luciferianism, which lacks a dogma). When these two things get confused to a major extent, we end up with something along the lines of Ghoulies or the real life, non-movie Order of Nine Angles.

Any word can be derogatory if you say it with enough spite. Today, the word being made derogatory is Satanism.

Scream and Nightmare of Elmstreet are nice, though.
