Whatever. I couldn’t afford any of that stuff anyway.

We had a “fort” in the woods with a stack of worn playboys

BruUUUUHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh. So kids tend to gravitate towards the first conversation about equality?

They didn't mention sacrificial virgin corpses in the closet.

They didn’t look.

Local priest advised parents to look for the Number of the Beast on their kids heads. My parent were so relieved when they found the birthmark on mine. Turns out it was just three nine's.

“We called him O-man because he had a birth mark on his face that was shaped like a six. He loved it.”

I had a ouija board and a witchcraft book.

Turns out that Satanism and puberty have the exact same symptoms.

I never got a cool knife!

That was my religious mom in the mid 80s when I had Iron Maiden posters on my wall. When the door was closed, she probably thought I was summoning demons with a weird smoky smell. That was just me having a smoke with the window open

So the sign of satanism is basically being a boy in puberty.

Listen to heavy metal music to the point of addiction? I am glad this helped sell more Slayer. For the record, I loved and still love Heavy Metal and turned out just fine.
ChakaKhansBabyDaddy@reddit
That is exactly what I would expect a satanist to say. DEVILS OUT!
OtakuTacos@reddit (OP)
Me too!

To late mom and dad. I already opened a portal to Hell in the rumpus room that is belching forth a legion of infernal demons.

My mom got upset with me for going around the house singing We Gotta Get Out of This Place by The Animals. I cannot imagine how she would have reacted to me listening to metal. She also really despised hearing Burning Down The House by the Talking Heads.

While I never worshipped Satan or even believed in him, still, they make it sound pretty terrific if I’m being honest..

“Now go read your Trump Bible, honey.”
Abzstrak@reddit
Yeah Trump's boys are going to probably bring this crap back... I'll never understand why people believe this nonsense.

I love how the conclusion was to call the cops on your own kid rather than, you know, having a conversation?
HandleAccomplished11@reddit
Lol, right! I'm pretty sure most cops, even back then, would be so annoyed. What "crime" exactly was committed? Maybe the small town religious cops would want to be involved, but most would be super annoyed.
CloakOfElvenkind@reddit
These parents clearly gave birth to the antichrist
Automatic_Fun_8958@reddit
The metal of the 80s compared to the heavy metal of today, i am sure to young metalheads it’s like easy listening! Funny how parents were so bent out of shape about it back then.

I've enjoyed several of the warning signs of Satanic behavior over the years.
TotallyDissedHomie@reddit
I wonder how many parents called the cops after they found a stash of metal albums
Head_Effect3728@reddit
...or virgin sacrifice altars.
GroundhogRevolution@reddit
I just had alcohol and weed. I was obviously one of the good kids.
