Are LaVeyan Satanists really able to control people through their thoughts?

Well considering all of the top ranking members in LaVeys Satanic Church are not very successful in the real world I would say no. They make all kinds of claims just as christians do about prayer results and just like followers of law of attraction do and of course none of it is true

these people that believe that prayers, spells, magic, positive thinking, etc change reality are fooling themselves and the evidence proves that

BTW science proves that even though thoughts have energy they are not strong enough to go out and create or change reality let alone go into the minds of others. Plus once thoughts leave the mind they are weakened completely by other energies in the atmosphere. So LaVeyans are making claims that go against science, reality

You believe in lies very easily, right? want to buy a busy bridge in New York, I'll not charge too much for the Brooklyn Bridge.

Anton LeVey worked for the circus working with the animals as a cage boy, until he got rich in the religion business.

No, of course not.

They cannot control people but they can toss baseballs in the air and catch them.

As a Christian who has studied the Bible for many years..I can tell you this. Demons can see the future, but only short term. Demons cannot read your thoughts unless you evoke them. And remember, they are damned and know it..do not trust them, they will destroy you.

No more than Moses could actually part the Seas or any of the other magical claims in the big bubbling book of fantasy. Satan and Jesus are both characters from the same work of fiction.

Claims are not facts.
