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!

"We are going to put Satanic chaplains in Florida schools, nothing in the bill places limits on who can become a chaplain, and Ron DeSantis can not simply amend the Constitution limiting the religious liberty of some by proclamation from the podium. "

excellent, yes. exactly. @thesatanictemple

I don't think you can be made a priest non consensually from a legal perspective, and from just a PR angle, I think it would undermine a lot of what they're trying to do. It would be funny as fuck though.

You could proclaim that a random person is Beelzebub reincarnate and worship them in a non-harassing manner, but honestly some edgelord would take it too far and cause a legal fuss.

It'd be like when the Mormons were posthumously baptizing Jewish Holocaust victims, except maybe only 1/100 as awful and actually funny.
