What do you suppose was his duties as leader of the temple?

I don't suppose anything, I have read the book. Parsons was never in his short life a Satan worshipper. Neither was Hubbard.

You can continue to smugly spread misinformation, or you can actually take the time to learn about someone that played an integral role in US history.

The choice is yours.

There's an interview from 1983 in Penthouse with L. Ron Hubbard, Jr. It's reprinted here (no pictures at all, just text and no links to naughty stuff) and he talks about Satanistic stuff.

Penthouse: He was trying to perform an abortion?

Hubbard: According to him and my mother, he tried to do it with me. I was born at six and a half months and weighed two pounds, two ounces. I mean, I wasn't born: this is what came out as a result of their attempt to abort me. It happened during a night of partying --he got involved in trying to do a black-magic number. Also, I've got to complete this by saying that he thought of himself as the Beast 666 incarnate.

Penthouse: The devil?

Hubbard: Yes. The Antichrist. Alestair Crowley thought of himself as such. And when Crowley died in 1947, my father then decided that he should wear the cloak of the beast and become the most powerful being in the universe.
