Meanwhile, equally annoying left-wing people are throwing fits over a politically incorrect video of Anton LaVey. Satansplain addresses both, along with answering listener mail about the previous two episodes of Satansplain, a reiteration on Satanism and politics, reflections on the landmark Satanism podcast Satanism Today, and also something the herd calls a tool of the Devil himself: mathematics.
