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!

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.

So you're following Satan

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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 🤘🏽

Ave Satanas, Hail Thyself
