Order of the Nine Angles from Venger Satanis's blog
Greetings CoC social network users,
At this moment, I am poised to usurp those areas of the ONA which are racist and anti-semitic. Once those portions or Nexions of the ONA are under my control, I will purge the wasteful, negative, hate-mongering B.S. right out of them. I have the blessing of many ONA individuals. The only ones standing in our way are just a few neo-Nazi trolls.
Consider this an extension of my LHP Jihad. Weeding modern satanism out of the LHP was step 1. Breaking the ONA, at least those racist parts, is step 2. Step 3 will be revealed soon...
This weekend, I'll not only ritualize my ONA absorption, but will also be capturing it on video for all to see. After that event, certain aforementioned aspects of the ONA will be purged and the entire organization will be seen, more or less, as a division of our quantum religion, the Cult of Cthulhu.
Awake!

This blog is an elaboration of the following CoC forum post…
This brings up something I’m going to discuss elsewhere in greater detail, the burden of compromise. Those looking to change this religion must do so by making slight alterations, tweaking things here and there. And this is not possible without a gesture of goodwill, a nod towards concession, an expression of acknowledgement which informs us that he who seeks to make changes also realizes that the fundamental principles of the Cthulhu Cult are sacred. In essence, the burden of compromise must fall to the outsider first of all.
It is a difficult but rewarding thing to shape mankind’s destiny. Rushing at it like a bull in a crystal gallery serves no one. I offer gratitude to those who assist us… not in their ivory towers but the trenches alongside brothers-in-arms.
In a perfect world, everyone would be able to change everything to meet his or her desire. But if we take a look at this “ideal” scenario, we realize its impossibility. Those who want the sky to be green would be opposed to those who believe the sky should be blue and so forth. The most we can hope for are slight changes in the things we really care about. Individuals directing their consistent emotional intensity probably have the greatest chance. Yet, there’s a way to increase the likelihood.
Over the years, I’ve heard from hundreds if not thousands of people who would like to alter the Cthulhu Cult in some manner. Such changes run the entire gamut… some want more Yog-Sothoth, others want less Azathoth; some want less focus on Gurdjieff, others want more focus on rituals; a few find our religion too structured while a small percentage find it relatively unstructured. The list goes on…
As example, Person A wants us (Organization B) to be less “fanciful” or more “realistic”. Organization B is made up of people holding the opposite opinion – they happen to love fantasy, finding it empowering while aesthetically pleasing. Solution C might involve finding common ground, allowing for a more realistic interpretation in particular areas. But don’t go overboard and don’t try dictating your new policies to the group. That’s just asking for annihilation.
Since the Cult of Cthulhu is a religion, one must expect that certain ideas seem to be “set in stone” or considered permanent. Why should this be? Because members who have taken part in the CoC’s creation poured their belief into it. Certain upper-echelon participants crystallized various aspects via nothing more than their conviction. These conscious changes are willed. What I’m trying to say, is that religions (even non-dogmatic ones) won’t turn on a dime just because a critic wags his finger. We encourage individuals to come up with their own novel approach, but overhauling the foundation just isn’t in the cards. And people say that I’m deluded? Come on, not many groups are open to innovation… at least we’re willing to listen.
However, our listening is a two way street. It’s called effective communication. First, an individual proposing a paradigm-shift must consider what he’s up against: a certain amount of entrenched ideology. This usually has a negative connotation. After all, that which is writ in stone will not adapt easily. Adaption is, of course, part of the evolutionary process. Instead of seeing the Cult of Cthulhu paradigm as stone-like, let’s envision it as crystallized. We can see all the way through it, examine every cleavage, locate, absorb, store, harness, and extract energy; color it with our own subjective reality. Crystals can grow; they can also shatter and re-crystallize.
Second, why should the members of any group adhere to a new pattern – especially one brought to the CoC by an outsider? Critics are everywhere, usually having no credentials whatsoever. All we know is that the majority love to criticize… especially when they have nothing to invest. Why would the CoC even bother to listen? Members want a show of good faith. Put something into the system, bring something to the table, invest in an organization… perhaps not by joining but working with key members. Any proposed change should be mutually beneficial or else why bother?
Now, we’re picturing the CoC as a living, vibrant, transparent, and empowering crystal. A hypothetical outsider shows the CoC that he’s willing to contribute, as well as, critique. Now all that’s left is the willingness to compromise. That’s another word that has sour implications… compromise. Nevertheless, a desire to work within a current rather than working against it is paramount to creating changes. Making concessions, conceding a point or three goes a long way towards being heard.
Summing up, the Cult of Cthulhu is determined to grow in a conscious direction. Scads of people assume they know a better way. We’re ready to listen to whatever incremental alterations are being submitted but only if done in a conducive manner… through the appropriate channels. Consider your audience. Make proposed changes palatable. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, for Cthulhu’s sake! In a word: diplomacy. I suppose common sense helps too.
