So not only can you not explain why it makes any difference whether it is satanists or just people acting like satanists, you really cannot tell the difference anyway. Can you not yet see how there are probably better ways to spend your time?
1) You haven't properly identified who are "actual" satanists. 2) The courts need not bother.

So then; one last word to answer the usual non-sequiturs. It is not I who needs to distinguish between 'real' and 'pretend' satanists, since, duh, it is not I who claims for satanic abusers in the first place (indeed I made it clear that there might have been a few cases of nutters abusing children with satanic trappings, while the sad fact is that more children have likely been ill-treated by Christians through injurious 'exorcisms'). It for is the prosecuting authorities, who did indeed 'bother', often to the extent of ruining innocent people's lives by giving credence to false claims. The issue is, still, whether there have been proven examples of SCA brought before the courts ending in convictions, especially of a size and number reflecting the associated moral panic.

The answer as I have shown is ... NO - and you haven't evidenced otherwise, as usual. Which ultimately is all one needs to know.

QED.

   While you are indeed not following what is going on in the world, I am certain it is not my fault.

   I have explained that quite many Christians have more in common with atheists than any "other" religion with plentiful data from Pew Research surveys. You might recognize the expression, "two sides of the same bad coin." It also is likely true that a few of them have much in common with satanists. Although such things typically happen in poverty they do infect a few people with much monetary wealth.

   You are still asking me to "prove" something that is merely a matter of definitions. That is because you have aligned yourself with mentally retarded people. If you complain as usual that I shouldn't point that out, just notice that if you believe you needn't heed any warnings then that is probably how you got to be so stupid. Consider heeding a warning sometime. Sometimes they can help.
