The lyrics are about blasphemy and profanation of " anything sacred and holy " . Ledney writes " most of the blasphemies and Aragon does most of the lyrics " . A Profanatica video showed the bassist ejaculating unto a bible and Ledney licking it up ; the latter claims they are " definitely not homos " . Asked how deeply he is into Satanism , Ledney replied Profanatica were " into our own deal " and had their own beliefs , making " our own Satanism " and being " into black perversion . We shit on God . We are larger than God and he is smaller than us . That 's the way we think . We put down false religions . " He does consider himself a Satanist , while " a lot of other people would n't " . He believes he is his own God and does not " believe Satan is an actual entity . It 's just a worship figure , but a lot of people do think of Satan as a real god . Maybe they 're crazy , why should their ' master ' care about someone like them anyhow ? " His beliefs are mostly drawn from Aleister Crowley , whose '' Book of the Law '' " really opened my eyes . Satanism is anti-religion . I do n't believe in any Gods . I suppose it 's good that some people gather for black masses with their corresponding dark beliefs , but I think everybody should think for themselves . If everyone thought the same way then that would be hell on earth . " Asked about Anton LaVey , he replied that " he does n't look too good in that little devil costume he wears . I wore one of those costumes for Halloween when I was nine with the pitchfork and that 's all I 'm gon na say ... " He does not agree with the views of the Church of Satan , referring to an ad for a Baphomet mug in their magazine '' The Black Flame '' for around $ 15.95 which he called " the most ridiculous thing I 've ever seen " and " money-making junk " . He rejects " Satanic churches and so forth " as " just more organized religion " . Asked about the '' Necronomicon '' , he replied " it was written as a joke - kind of . But I think it was 1/2 real and 1/2 fake . HP Lovecraft is a great writer . One of my favorites . But if someone believes in Pazuzu , then he exists . That 's the way I look at it . " Ledney called the Norwegian bands " kinda a joke . Anyone can take a lot of drugs and put on make-up , that 's what I think . … Bands that claim they 're true are n't true ! That 's like someone saying how big their cock is . It 's definitely small ! If they talk about it all the time . Except for us . " He would not " really put a label on where bands are from " , but called the Swedish scene " definitely retarded and Norway is not far behind that . There 's so many bands that play the same style and rip off from each other and other bands , that it 's just ridiculously fake ! " As Profanatica were rejected by Varg Vikernes from the Norwegian band Burzum , Ledney replied that " the only reason for his hatred is jealousy " . According to him , " 95 % of the bands from Norway and all of Europe ca n't play their instruments at all . I do n't even call it music . I just call it a sad attempt at Black Metal . … I think Europe is making it trendy with all of the bands from Norway . They use samples on the guitars and they just do n't know how to play . … The only band I like from Norway is IMMORTAL . " Asked to mention bands he " think s are true Black Metallers " , he named Impaled Nazarene and Beherit from Finland , Necromantia and Rotting Christ from Greece , and Bestial Summoning from the Netherlands
