Is there a reason it's been so long since we've had a Pessimists Archive? Did the world suddenly get optimistic or are we taking the daily news as proof enough of our Pessimism?
Ozzy didn’t write the lyrics for Black Sabbath. Roman Catholic Geezer Butler did that. His autobiography is a great and revealing read. The imagery on the album covers was contrived by their rip-off record company and usually came as an unwelcome surprise to the band.

So I am to fear Satantic influence or imagery in Heavy Metal music, but not to fear a burning Cross?
