Well, if you don't like it maybe Christians should stop demanding everyone conform to their religion

There’s like 9 or 10 Denver’s even though the one everyone thinks of is in Colorado

I’ve seen the light. Thank you

In college (secular) there were always weird groups I'd run into praying in the morning.

Then later in the day they'd be protesting abortion with some idiots that didn't even go to the school accusing everyone of being murderers.

Meanwhile people are just going to class

That’s kind of the point, at least in part—people claim to follow Christ despite actually supporting supremacy, stripping others of their rights, and doing lots of harm, so the Satanists are playing the role of the Adversary and trying to balance the score by doing good in Satan’s name. Where Christians are abusing religious freedom laws, the Satanists can swoop in and remind them that Christianity is not the only religion who can benefit from those laws. If Christian groups can be in schools, fine, but they have to allow Satanists (and every other religion) or remove religious indoctrination entirely. Where Christians are praying at town meetings, fine, but they have to allow for Satanic prayer as well, or remove prayer entirely. Either way is a win-win, either for secularism or pluralism, anything is preferable to one religion having superiority.

The philosophy and ethics that TST preaches are functionally identical to those taught and believed by theistic Satanists as well, and truthfully most Satanic groups are nontheistic. In the way they practice it, it’s irrelevant whether Satan exists or not, because they believe that taking action in the physical world is stronger and more effective than prayer/spirituality.

You'll see the same names repeated all over the country. There are two Philadelphias. And probably 948 Hanovers and 367 Exeters.

Congratulations on your sobriety!!

Why does this state have such silly town and region names pittsburgh has moon Mars and Apollo

Hail me

Looks like some solid ideas. All religions say the right stuff, they just don’t all practice it. Honestly, when I hear satanic temple, I’m thinking devil worship, cutting the heads off goats and human sacrifice, they should work on their brand messaging. 😂

Satanism

>Satanism is a group of ideological and philosophical beliefs based on Satan. Contemporary religious practice of Satanism began with the founding of the atheistic Church of Satan by Anton LaVey in the United States in 1966, although a few historical precedents exist. Prior to the public practice, Satanism existed primarily as an accusation by various Christian groups toward perceived ideological opponents, rather than a self-identity or valid religious belief. Satanism, and the concept of Satan, has also been used by artists and entertainers for symbolic expression.

This didn’t sound right to me, so I did a tiny bit of “research” and ended up on Wikipedia (because of course I did.)

It looks like classifications of Satanism include both theistic and atheistic Satanism, and TST can be considered a type of atheistic Satanism.

So I think it’s better to say they are a Satanist organization, but that doesn’t mean what most people think it does.

Beer crimes

It has a message if you look for it. It could be a message to the politically obstinate that it could happen in their community in an attempt to motivate people to take reforms seriously.

I don't know if wer even put forward new legislation after mass shootings anymore.

You don’t have to buy a better one. There’s no requirement to get something newer or better. It just needs to be reliable - Honda or Toyota.

What you’d expect from the Wooder Capital of da Werld!?!

All they gotta do is ban the Christian ones if they want to beat this. You can't have your cake and eat it, too, you jackbooted fascist bastards.

From TST's website:

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Here's hoping it is better than the Dunkin beers, which were horrible.

Is it named the After School Satan Club???

ASS CLUB?

Okay, so it’s semantics. They don’t believe he exists but they believe in what he represents. Got it. Can you explain to me what he represents?
