Yesterday, the Church of Satan started posting videos about sex robots online – but it wasn’t a bandwagon-jumping attempt to grab clicks.

Oddly, the founder of the church of Satan, Anton Lavey, predicted sex robots more than two decades ago – and today’s Satanists still believe they could save us all.

In Lavey’s ‘Five Point Plan’, drawn up in the Eighties, he recommended the use of ‘humanoids’ as an outlet for people’s darker impulses.

The Church of Satan’s Magistra Blanche Barton wrote, ‘Scientists and techno-geeks are doing a bang-up job in these departments, developing exceedingly realistic artificial human companions, both of the Real Doll and virtual Facebook-friend variety.’




Magus Peter H. Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan told Metro, ‘Anton LaVey promoted the idea of “artificial human companions” as a means for people to exercise sexual or other drives with a device that might gratify their fantasies without having to involve other human beings. This would permit complete control over the details of the fantasy. Now that robotics is advancing, it seems that this field of endeavor is seeing new activity.

‘The Church of Satan doesn’t involve itself in these projects as our purpose is education regarding the religion and philosophy of Satanism, though some of our members find this to be of personal interest and are involved, though they wouldn’t necessarily reveal their affiliation as it might compromise their ability to broadly market successful products to a mass audience.’

The Church – based on the teachings of Anton Lavey maintains a highly active and witty Twitter account which has more than 125,000 followers.

In an introduction, ‘Satanism: the Feared Religion’, the Church of Satan explains the church’s ideas on ‘artificial human companions’.

The Church of Satan says, ‘Fourth, Satanists advocate a new industry, the development and promotion of artificial human companions. These humanoids will be constructed to be as realistic as possible, and available to anyone who can afford one.

‘Recognizing that the human animal often raises himself up throught the denegration of another, this would provide a safe outlet for such behavior. Have the lover of your dreams, regardless of your own prowess; every man a king who can purchase his own subject; or contrarywise, buy the master you wish to serve. Freedom of choice to satisfy your most secret desires with no-one to be bothered is now at hand.
