How do you tell the difference between genuine memories that have been 'recovered' and those produced by 'False Memory Syndrome'? While not doubting that Satanism exists and its followers may attempt human sacrifice the uncritical acceptance of this woman's testimony only feeds hysteria and ultimately hinders rather than helps the fight against abuse. It eventually leads to a society wide scepticism in this matter. Vicki Polin, the Jewish girl interviewed, founded the Awareness Centre (the site has closed down) but she does not mention Satanic abuse there 'just' sexual abuse.

We must be careful of the uncritical acceptance of stories that support our beliefs. Remember that Satan mixes honey with poison.
