Sellers, 17, guilty of killing his parents and a convenience store clerk. In a diary which Sellers call
his "book of shadows," he had written, "in the name of Satan, the ruler of earth, and the King of the
world, I command the forces of darkness to bestow their infernal power upon me." Information
presented during the trial mentioned such details of satanic doctrines as this "book of shadows," -
"blood pacts with the devil," - "a code of silence," - involvement with a game called Dungeons and
Dragons, "inverted pentagrams," "high priest," "recruiter's", heavy metal rock music," and "horror
videos".

Oh, boy, here comes another avalanche of "pop culchur is teh debils werks." triggering a shitstorm of misinformation, fabrication, lies and bullshit, followed by showers of fundie conversion and salvation porn, with sprinkles of praise and worship masturbation throughout the evening. This is your fundie thread content forecast from News Channel 6, WFST.
Sean Sellers was mentally ill. His claims of Satanism were irrelevant and so was his involvement in D&D, neither of which has ever been scientifically proven to cause people to become violent. Violent tendencies are something a person possesses as part of their personality, not created. Someone is either predisposed toward violent behavior or they are not, it really is that simple.
Sellers didn't kill because he was into Satanism or RPGs. He was a sick boy who wanted to see what it was like to kill. During his incarceration he accepted Jesus like every other good convict. You've proven nothing.

Jeffrey Dahmer: Born Again Fundamentalist Christian
Jeffrey Dahmer is the son of a Born Again Fundamentalist (Church of Christ) father. Jeffrey's Born Again Fundamentalist home life led him to feel he could not acknowledge his homosexuality to his Fundamentalist father, and instead he developed an intense hatred of himself and of other gay men.
Well Jeffrey has now come home. He has become a Born Again Fundamentalist, baptized by a minister of the Church of Christ.
Concerning Dahmer's difficulty in coming to grips with his homosexuality, Palermo indicated that was a problem since adolescence because he believed his family could not accept it. The difficulty evolved into a hatred over the years which later led to the killings, Palermo said.
"I believe that I am acting in accordance
with the will of the Almighty Creator:
by defending myself against the Jew,
I am fighting for the work of the Lord"
--Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
We don't have high priests or recruiters, D&D is a harmless game...
Oh, why am I bothering? This is just more bullshit still circulating from the Satanic Panics.
See? See? We need to ban D&D, Satanism, heavy metal, and horror movies (make that any R-rated movie, no, make that any non-explicitly Christian movie), and might as well throw out porn for good measure so that we make sure this never, ever happens again. Might as well make it illegal for kids to look "goth," too, because no matter what they say it's all about, we all know it's really just Satanism.
Think of the children.
My best friend has all the Beatles albums, has a framed poster of His Noodlyness the Flying Spaghetti Monster on his wall (along with a hi-res printout of part of the Large Hadron Collider, from CERN), has - in his vast book collection - the works of Dennis Wheatley, HP Lovecraft & Clive Barker, and the "Alien"/"Predator" & even "Event Horizon" films in his DVD collection.
He also has a huge collection of - and plays - RPGs. Including D&D, and even 'Call of Cthulhu'.
He's a long-time C-of-E Christian. He doesn't have a criminal record.
Sellers, either you're a liar or as proved above, your argument is invalid. Choose wisely...!
Someone can't tell fiction from reality. I play Grand Theft Auto, listen to death metal, and watch horror movies. Despite that I haven't so much as punched anyone. How is that possible? Because I know the difference between real life and make believe.
Well goodness, we should immediately ban all of those things then, I guess.
I sense another moral panic a comin'.
What was it that Marilyn Manson said:
He'd like to think he was more influential than the president, but he didn't really think he was, somehow.
Your president sends people overseas to kill real living human beings, but a game of make-believe and a bit of music are more responsible for a murder?
Reading his Wikipedia article, he sounds to me like your basic run-of-the-mill psychopath. And he's really bad at it, from the sound of things. Blaming Satanism and D&D is pretty damn weak. And when he started blaming Multiple Personality Disorder, the psychiatric community had already debunked a good number of the cases, and was seriously considering whether the disorder even existed.
That boy sounded absolutely pathetic.
I listen to death metal, play violent video games like Blood Omen 2 (where you play as the most awesome vampire, ever, Kain) and watch horror movies, war movies, and anything that contains gratuitous violence. I do not have a criminal record, I donate to charity, and from what I've seen, am a hell of lot more "moral" than most of my Christian Texans are.
Every "Satanist" I've ever researched has had that "healthy productive, church going Christian upbringing" you shits demand always produces good citizens.
To even think Satan exists is a Christian trait, to the unbelievers he's a mythical construct, a part of the Biblical myths, nothing more and certainly not real. This is a product of your religion..
Yawn. Another case of the Satanic Heeby Jeebies. I'm sure "backward masking" will litter all the heavy metal rock because everyone knows those guys have nothing better to do with millions of dollars than to make some backward evil message in their music releases. Really, this gets revived every couple of years or so the same as "Michelle Remembers" to support ritualistic sexual abuse of children at innocent day care centers.
Meanwhile, Sellers18, a cyborg from the Lenovo Galaxy, Read Archie comics and drank Fanta root beer with his extensible manipulator arms while shearing the heads off rabbits with his hydraulic claw. He pondered for a moment, as he slowly eradicated the last of Earth's life forms, how his life might have been different if those Rock and Roll radio broadcasts from Earth's 1950's era had not turned everyone in the galaxy all evil.
Gee, fantasy is fun! Someone want to take the next chapter?
Not to mention known consumption of bread, the wearing of white socks, an enjoyment of lolcats, the use of the word "potato", an aversion to seeing Whoppie Goldberg nude, and perhaps most damningly, a history of seeing nude photos on the internet!
I'd be a Satanist, but I eat meat and I'm not a pacifist. I don't have the moral rigor to be a Satanist. On the other hand, I have the intellectual rigor to not take biblical literalism as a possibility. This is because I made it through the 6th grade. Dungeons and Dragons? Seriously it involves lots of mountain dew and dice. Didn't you assholes get over this in the eighties?
That was 30 years ago, we've moved on. Nowadays the Devil's traps are World of Warcraft, MLP, Dubstep, and CGI movies
Also, we've uncovered a secret message on one of the Jonas Brothers' EvilSatanicHellMetal albums, carefully disguised by backmasking and background noise. It says: "Seriously, get a life! -signed, the AntiChrist."
Our experts are still trying to decode the meaning of this transmission.
This is about as genuine as that fucking idiot in Colorado.
PAY ATTENTION, as I don't capitalize that often.
The Batman shooter is not Joker, he's just a fractured, deadly nut that would have picked another inspiration.
Fundamentalists can just grow the fuck up, if pop culture wasn't out here for these fucktards to latch onto, they'd be doing it in the name of God as whatever they say, they kill to kill.
Me? I suggest we flood the market with a lot more so they are confused longer and thus hold off from killing for a while!
@tranz2deep
"The Batman shooter is not Joker, he's just a fractured, deadly nut that would have picked another inspiration."
That twat is just another inferior subhuman who wants to become (in )famous, that's all. The fact it was at that Century 16 cinema, showing "Dark Knight Rises" is just coincidence (that, and he knew there'd be the maximum amount of people at a city's premiere, thus creating the maximum media impact). If indeed, he was twisted enough to be 'inspired' by such a film, he'd have known that the Joker has fuck all to do with this particular one.
When the main villain in "DKR" is called 'Bane '.
Now, I wonder why - when "DKR" premiered here in London's Leicester Square (attended by the likes of Christian Bale, Sir Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman - and Prince Harry) - there were (and has yet to be) any similar 'copycat' shootings? With emphasis on here , as in the UK.
One word: Dunblane. You do the maths, NRA.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
