A majority of his statements have shown his ignorance of what Satanism truly is, as he is detached from it. The Church Of Satan has lost its relevancy ever since LaVey died in 1997. Gilmore is an elitist, and power hungry. The Church Of Satan and it's members have lost sight of Satanism, and are flailing in the past. In today's Satanic movement, they are not even regarded as actual Satanism, but instead a joke.
