Parables have been so tied to Christian teachings that I wanted to try and decouple the two; since at its root, a parable is simply a short allegorical story. I included fables because many of the characters in the pieces are animals or inanimate objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first part of the siteÕs title is taken from Blanche BartonÔs introduction to Mr. LaVeyÕs Satan Speaks! On page xii, Barton remarks that Mr. LaVeyÕs looks and bearing reflected the image of the ÔGentleman Downstairs.Õ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eR.
