Nope. My post is perfectly consistent with both the OP and the life of this thread.
1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

LaVey claimed nuts were quickly given "the bum's rush" when they tried to join his Church of Satan. That still didn't stop two of the Masons (Susan Atkins and Bobby Beasoleil) and Richard "The Night Stalker " Rameriez from joining. Satanist Patricia Hall was arrested for murder of an elderly man in Florida, and participated in the flogging and gang rape of a teenage girl. She claimed to have been baptized by LaVey himself, which he of course later denied. There have also been other thrill killers that have claimed to have been members of the Church of Satan, even though LaVey later denied it.
Even if they weren't officially CoS members (most Satanist aren't), it proves criminally minded, violent people are attracted to Satanism. Susan Atkins actually appeared with LaVey and a couple of other girls in a corny strip club act. She played a vampire, not surprising when you consider she licked the blood stained knife she killed Sharon Tate and her unborn child with. Bobby Beausoleil appeared in the movie by fellow Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger, Lucifer Rising. During the Tate/Labianca murders, Beausoleil told his terrified vicitms, "I'm the Devil, and I'm here to do the Devil's business!" A fourth killer/cannibal, Stanley Baker, who actually ate his victims, was caught en route to meet LaVey. Would LaVey have given this 3rd person the heave ho? Maybe, Maybe not. LaVey claimed that he too, and members of the Church of Satan, once dined on a human leg (Satan Wants You, also mentioned in The Church of Satan and The Secret Life of a Satanist). The leg was obtained (obviously illeagally) by a Co$ member who was a pathologist from a local hospital, at least according to LaVey. No LaVey family member has ever denied this event happened. The leg was prepared by Diane in Triple Sec with fried grub worms on the side, supposedly how they serve human flesh in New Guinea. The only participant who reportedly ate the worms was LaVey's 3 year old daughter Zeena, and most members were to sqeemish to actually eat the leg meat.
1 Peter 5
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Ephesians 6
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Kahaner bases his evidence on firsthand accounts by men and women who are involved in investigating and countering these activities. He relies also on the testimony of academic researchers and upon police records and court documents-which he frequently cites-to support his contention that occult-inspired crime is a growing threat to public safety. This is a difficult sort of investigative work, only rarely involving simple cases and obvious suspects. Instead, there is a maze of secret societies such as Santeria, whose homicides are signaled by the colored beads, handful of chicken feathers, and seven coins ritualistically placed around the decapitated victim. Nevertheless we are, in Kahaner's opinion, experiencing the early swell of a cult-related crime wave. Drugand child-selling networks run by occultists have recently come to the attention of law-enforcement agencies, while brujeria (witchcraft) is spreading in Mexican communities throughout the United States, and at least one investigator believes Satanism to have an international component as well.
2007 Trecynon, Wales Satanist Geraint Evans, 24, recieved "indefinite detainment" for the murder of Father Paul Bennett on 3-14-07 on the grounds of St Fagan’s Anglican Church. Father Bennett, 59, who died as a martyr for Christ, was married father-of-two, was attacked yards from the church in front of his wife. In a gloating voice Evans told Mrs. Bennett ‘I stabbed him through the heart, I stabbed him through the eye. You have to forgive me now’,” As well as regularly smoking cannabis, Evans inhaled lighter fluid on a daily basis. He was a subscriber and contributor to satanic websites using the pseudonym Jack Blade where he declared: “I am Satan.”

You're on a fruitless quest my friend, if you are trying to compare religiously related crimes the amount of murders committed in the name of Christ far far far far far far far out wheigh those proposed to be in the name of Satan.

Do you know what they did when the Crusaders captured Jerusalem? They murdered every man, woman and child regardless of faith until they were knee deep in blood, severed limbs floating in the sanguinary rivers. Women raped, babies smashed against walls, men eviscerated. And when they were through with the carnage they gorged themselves on the flesh of their fallen foes all while praising the name of Jesus the Christ!

Yes, "Uncommon Sense Ministries" sounds very impartial. You really remind of those moms from Detroit Rock City or the Heavy Metal rehabers from Decline of the Western Civilization II mixed in with a little bit of Carrie's mom.

During the trial, Woodham, ignoring his lawyers advice, testified that the murders were the result of heartbreak over losing his girlfriend, Christina Menefee, the 16-year-old whom he killed in the shooting spree. He also blamed his fascination with occult rituals.
He told jurors that, after the breakup, he fell under the influence of a 19-year-old whom he described as both a mentor and a tormentor, the person who introduced him to the occult.
"He told me I had to kill my mom," Woodham said. "He told me I had to get the gun and the car and go to school and get my revenge on Christy and cause a reign of terror." (Associated Press / June 10, 1998)
