Quotes / Religion of Evil

To err is to invite retribution.
Thou shalt not.
Submit to His will.
Obedience is blind.
Choice is the one burden we need not suffer.
Power does not reside with the Oracle, but with the Priests.
Damnation is eternal.

— Imperial Thoughts for the Day, Warhammer 40,000

"Merciless lord of the Ninth Hell, keeper of all things forbidden and unknown, master of all you encounter, Asmodeus, I call on your dread name."

— Gilliard DeRosan, disciple of Asmodeus, The Book of Vile Darkness

"To this end, he goads his mortal servants into performing appalling acts of evil in his name throughout the lands. He admonishes his servants to show no mercy in their perpetual war—they must kill all creatures they encounter and take prisoners when the beings can serve as useful thralls. In the centuries after the war with the gods, the Ruler of Ruin has amassed his armies. His people in the natural world feed his layer with a steady supply of slaves and victims, and his altars run red with the blood of fresh sacrifices."

—The Demonomicon on Yeenoghu, Dragon Magazine

Whence night by night
He and his monstrous rout are heard to howl
Like stabled wolves, or tigers at their prey,
Doing abhorred rites to Hecate
In their obscured haunts of inmost bowers.

— John Milton, Comus

This guy, Russell, he's the leader guy of the cult. He was rambling on during one of his speeches about the sun being bad. Like, the Beast can't come out because the sun is too bright and it hurts his eyes, or something. If you show up sunburnt, the guy's going to be pissed at you and me.

— Adam Sandler, Joining The Cult

The religion is an evil thing. We know this because they drink human blood and make flesh offerings. They practice self-mutilation because they feel that it makes you less attached to the mortal world. Their religious arguments are about which mountain peak is the highest and if the fourth one should be included in their worship. I think this is Paolini trying to create a religion. He apparently has missed the point of religion. Or the reason why people worship things. Or have religious dogma. It shouldn't be about which mountain peak is the highest. There's nothing spiritual about that. It's not something that you can base a religion on. At least not a sustainable one. And does the mountain tell them to sacrifice people? Also, religions shouldn't be either good or evil. Because then why would you join up with the evil religion?

— Eragon Sporkings, by Kippurbird

We are the Children of Darkness. We are the Followers of Set, Beloved of the Serpent Apep who swallows the Sun. Where there is evil, we are; where the sweet taint of corruption hangs heavy in the air, so too are we found. We follow in our Father's footsteps; exiled into the darkness, we make the darkness supreme. From Egypt to England, Granada to Cathay, our coils slowly strangle the world. Set was born between earth and sky and was raised on blood and sand. His enemies are our enemies: Amon-Ra the Sun God, Horus One-Eye, all who uphold faith, hope, purity. We seduce them, we corrupt them, we destroy them. Sabbat and Camarilla matter not to us, for all are as one, to be shown the power of the darkness, then devoured. The Camarilla grasp at the straw of humanity while drowning in a tide of blood; the Sabbat fear Gehenna, not seeing that it is the liberation all Cainites crave. Given time, we shall open the eyes of all, and all will be blinded by the shadows.

Never before in the history of the world has Satanism - true, unalduterated devil worship - expanded beyond a fringe cult. But times have changed, and the world has tilted on a diagonal. Though most of the Brotherhood's members are little more than ordinary bandits, the ideology of their insane ruler is slowly proliferating down the ranks. Someday, the name of Satan will be praised throughout Omsk without a hint of irony.

"I'd stumbled into the middle of an evil, insidious cult of chainsaw worshipping maniacs. I had to wonder if we'd let our religious freedom go too far in this country, or maybe our immigration laws were just too lax."

—Jack Chandler, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers

Angela Dodson: They have Bibles in Hell?
John Constantine: Paints a different view of Revelations. Says the world will not end by God's hand, but be reborn in the embrace of the damned. Though if you ask me, fire's fire.

—Constantine

"Before a necromancer will join you, you need an acolyte, which you can turn to worshipping at a Temple of Good or Evil. I find it amusing this is such a casual choice for the acolyte. Like, he's totally cool with whichever one you pick. 'Oh, a Temple of Evil? Yeah, that's cool, man. No problem. Go Team Evil.'"

— Ross's Game Dungeon, Hinterland

"It's an ideology where you can kill people and you won't be punished at all, in fact it pleases Lord Jashin even more if you do just that."

—Hidan, Naruto
