I hate The Phantom of the Opera as much as anyone, but when I read the headline, I felt The Oklahoman was going too far in calling it a "Satanic group." Then, I actually read the article to learn that an actual group that worships the arch-angel had rented a room at OKC Civic Center.
The group, led by James Hale, a man who shares a name with a guy I once considered to be Satan, is holding an event that is parodizing (if that's a word) the Catholic tradition of demon exorcism. In essence, their goal is to unleash the devil onto the world. It's probably just me, but I assumed this happens in Oklahoma on the eve of every college football season when Sooner fans offer to sell their souls for another mythical national championship. The fact that this one is being organized by someone who can be confused with the Burger King-swindling OU recruiting guru only reinforces that belief.
