Sociology Courses | March 20, 2006
Soc. of Violence: 2nd Period
Grissom hands out a pop quiz to his students.
After a few minutes, they'll get to the part where it is revealed to have no real answers, and is actually an exercise to prove a point.
"What's the solution to this problem? Is it a computerized database? A more powerful federal law enforcement system to oversee state and town officials? A new method of classifying and reporting the data?"
Soc. of the Paranormal: 6th Period
After the class has taken a seat, Grissom begins a lecture on Satanism, being careful to point out that most Satanists do not in fact worship a deity called Satan, nor do they follow a principle of evil according to their definition.
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence.
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates.
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek.
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires.
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all.
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years.
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
"We've certainly touched on the role of evilsexy demons in class as a part of paranormal activity, so that you should be working on your own definition at this point, and these ideas stand directly opposed to some of the other philosophies we've taken a look at in the past few months.
So... reactions?"
HOMEWORK FOR BOTH CLASSES: The Body Farm field trip is Wednesday. You are invited, although attendance is not mandatory for Sociology students. The rules will be explained to you the day of, wear comfortable, old clothes and sturdy shoes.
[OOC: Link NWS if your boss is going to be displeased with your casual reading on Satanism at your desk during lunch. Spoilsport.]

Re: Paranormal: 3/20
Grissom may sound a bit angry. Just a tad. It's mostly the pink fluff, really, sticking in his hair.

Grissom takes a few steps back, but doesn't turn around to look at Marty as he speaks. "I don't enjoy being lied to."
