The Satanic Temple

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

No, I believe that you follow Satan because he wants to stray people away from God and make them pursue vain pleasure

You may not worshipping a baphomet statue but you for sure are following Satan

I have no interest in straying people away from God. I am interested in equality, acceptance, and freedom of religion. You have every right to believe whatever you believe in, that's a value I hold deeply. I haven't insulted or harassed you about your beliefs, you came to MY post to shit on it because you disagreed. Who's the bad guy here?

The symbolic Satan I look up to is about rebelling against authoritarianism. That's how I view him, that's how most Satanists view him. It's YOUR personal issue if you get offended because that authoritarian dictator is your own God in your mind. Very telling.

Be respectful and kind like your God told you that you should be.

You're a blind fool doing exactly what the devil wants you to do. Don't you see how making humans pursue immediate pleasure and stray away from God like in the garden of Eden might be just what the embodiment of evil wants?

How EXACTLY am I making people pursue immediate pleasure? I said like 10 times that Satanism for me and most Satanists means rebelling against authoritarianism and fighting for secularism, equality, and justice. What part of that means 'pursuing immediate pleasure'?? I'd really like to know.

I don't believe in the garden of eden, Eve, or Adam. The symbolism of that to Satanist means denying blind ignorance, attaining free will, and seeking knowledge.

Yes, I am! I am following Satan in that I will stand up to people like you trying to force your hateful ideology on me and my country, I will fight for equality for ALL people, and I will fight for acceptance and compassion for all human beings.

Hail Satan ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ

Nothing more will come from this interaction. Have a good rest of your day or evening. I wish you happiness, love, and peace in all things.

Ave Satanas, Hail Thyself

You're forgetting it's an actual recognized religion making real changes. Calling it edgy because you're mad that other people have different views than you, like the kind and typical christian you are, won't change that.

Unfortunately yes, we have literal satan followers gaining influence

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

And it will never stop! It grows stronger everyday. Keep quivering in your self-righteous boots

I thank this man for bringing a shit load of attention to our religion, the need for acceptance and religious liberty, and especially the hypocrisy of Christians <3

Hail Satan! Hail Satan! God is Dead!

I thank this man for doing something about demon worshipers instead of just giving them concessions

Nothing wrong with that, now.

Dude you live in a fairy land world, we out here in the real one, have fun.
