What is up with "Satanic Ritual Abuse" in the news / Hollywood?

[ForeverKind]

To be clear, I am a dedicated Satanist, and I firmly believe and understand that Father Satan is The Most High.

Accordingly, I am looking to resolve this question.

Whenever I explain to people that Satanism is a religion of peace and spirituality, they often ask: "then why are there stories about Satanic ritual sacrifice and abuse?"

This is a difficult question to answer, as I do not know exactly what is going on there -- but I can't really just tell people, "oh, that's just Hebrew propaganda."

As of now, my answer is twofold. For one, I propose that in some cases, it is simply just bad people blaming their moral infractions on something that they don't understand.

Then, in other cases, I mention that contrary to popular belief, it is actually Judeo-Christian doctrine that calls for blood sacrifice. I point this out and suggest that perhaps high-ranking Judeo-Christian officials are performing these rituals for Yahweh, and then using Satan as a scapegoat.

Anyway, I am hoping to find answers here. Why are there allegedly people making ritual human/animal sacrifices to Satan?

It's puzzling because out of the dozens of books I have read, I have never seen Satan request anything of the sort. Am I missing something? Where are these rituals coming from? Why are people allegedly making these blood sacrifices?

When I'm in this situation, I always clarify: "they are talmudic ritual sacrifice and abuse" ... pointing out they are conflating and projecting as per their MO in every situation throughout their history. It appears more and more people are finally seeing it and realizing it for what it is...
