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!

The paradox of tolerance has best been explained to me not as a paradox, but as a social contract. In the contract, all parties respect eachother as they are, but when intolerance enters and the contract is broken, you are no longer bound by the contract, therefore you are now allowed to be intolerant back. Im a conditional pacifist, in the event of me being attacked i will defend myself to the best of my abilities and to whatever force is justified.
I 100% agree with your assessment.
Do you feel like that is completely covered by the 4th tenant? I guess I'm worried about the use of social 'norms' and pressure to conform with what others want in order to force those that don't conform to what is considered normal by the general populace.
I understand I'm being very finicky here but I think when presenting a list of tenants, laws, commandments, etc. the details really matter.
