Oh dear. Medieval Christian churches have the entrance on the west ...
Indeed. And you helpfully described the building's painted-on door on its West side.

Does this type of 'argumentation' count as a gish gallop?
The Gish gallop is a technique used during debating that focuses on overwhelming an opponent with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments.
It's not the entrance if it is barred, is it?
Likely? Based on what?
Nice dodge.
Do you think that what you describe is going to do the trick? For pete's sake, just a few posts prior you explain how Epstein got his wealth.
Roman Catholic Italy, with its heavy symbolism, is absolutely awash with mason lodges and satanists
How often do you beat your wife?
Sorry, are you claiming satanism is made up?
Aleister Crowley one of the most notorious satanists of all time worshipped the Ancient Egyptian god, Thoth.
Why is it so hard to accept that Epstein ran a clandestine occult racket
These Egyptian occultists have a belief that the further you go underground the nearer you are to these sinister 'gods'.
Seeing is believing.
Both during his life and after it, Crowley has been widely described as a Satanist, usually by detractors. Crowley stated he did not consider himself a Satanist, nor did he worship Satan, as he did not accept the Christian world view in which Satan was believed to exist.[255] He nevertheless used Satanic imagery, for instance by describing himself as "the Beast 666" and referring to the Whore of Babylon in his work, while in later life he sent "Antichristmas cards" to his friends.[256] In his writings, Crowley occasionally identified Aiwass as Satan and designated him as "Our Lord God the Devil" at one occasion.
He was also accused of advocating human sacrifice, largely because of a passage in Book 4 in which he stated that "A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory victim" and added that he had sacrificed about 150 every year.
two prominent figures in religious Satanism, Anton LaVey and Michael Aquino, were influenced by Crowley's work
No response, eh?
EVIDENCE?????
Never.
You can't even get your logical traps right.
In the common vernacular occult is no different from satanism.
As I explained upthread 'Satan' in the Bible was usually referred to as Ba'al, a clear reference to ancient Egyptian gods.
You might have noticed I don't do logical fallacy.
Er, you did know that Epstein was in the possession of a fake Saudi Arabian passport...did you not?
And there we go. Finally, an admission that "satanist" doesn't really mean "satanist". Why don't you use the actual word for what you're describing? They were pagans. Believers in something other than Christianity.
Plenty of those in the world, don't you agree? Would you call Buddhists satanists? Medieval Christians sure would.
A clear refence? Baal's not even Egyptian!
I'm sorry to break this to you, Vixen...
And what does this have to do with satanism?
You're all over the place but if you think you're going to lose me in the flurry of nonsense you're throwing at me, you've got another thing coming.
Not a single mention of satanists in this article.
Oh, did you think I wouldn't notice that you dodged that part?
A mysterious foreign passport found inside a safe in Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan mansion had been used to travel to at least four countries in the 1980s, prosecutors said on Wednesday in court documents seen by Business Insider.
They said the expired Austrian passport was found in the locked safe along with more than $70,000 in cash and several loose diamonds.
They said that the passport appeared to have a photo of Epstein but a different name and listed a residence in Saudi Arabia.
Epstein's lawyers said in court papers on Tuesday that the passport was for "personal protection" and that prosecutors had offered no evidence that Epstein ever used it.
But on Wednesday, prosecutors said stamps in the passport suggested it was used to enter France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s.

I understand that Jonathan Swift was an advocate of eating children.
Jonathan Swift was a satirist.
