Satanism: The Absence of Satanic Proselytizing
I've added a quote to "Satanism: Conversion, Deconversion and the Absence of Satanic Proselytizing" by Vexen Crabtree (2002). It is from the High Priest of the Church of Satan, Peter Gilmore:



“We do not intend to turn the vast insensate masses into Satanists. The masses will do as always and follow their inertia.”

"The Satanic Scriptures" by Peter Gilmore (2007)





I like the way he states that the masses 'follow' their inertia (something which doesn't move). It implies an active passiveness, something which I think gets to the truth of the matter quite poetically!
