🤢 FAGGOT-GATE 🤢
I’ll be completely honest. Many years ago, when I heard about the Satanic temple, I thought it was a goof. When some Christian group wanted a religious statue in a public park, the satanists put a goat thingy in the park too. I thought they were trolling, even though the word “trolling” didn’t exist yet. I never, ever, thought it was serious and real. Turns out it is. I thought it was a bunch of goofballs laughing it up over a case of beer, trying to mess with people. I thought they were more about separation of church and state, and using a goat demon to make their point, while also making themselves chuckle. Nope.
The Satanic Temple is indeed a troll group. They're mostly agnostics and atheists who push back against what they see as religious people (mostly Christians) violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
This is just The Satanic Temple, though. The Church of Satan and other Satanic groups are different and are "real" Satanists.
The people in The Satanic Temple don't believe in Satan as he/it is portrayed in the Bible. Their definition of Satan, from their website: "Satan is a symbol of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority, forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds."
They got classified as a religion in order to get the same benefits as other religions, like tax exemptions. They also demand to be able to do whatever other religions do, like put religious material up in schools.
I'm not a big fan of hypocrisy, so I don't have a problem with them. And I still don't have a problem with them, even with one of their members potentially being a pedophile. Because, like I said, I'm not a big fan of hypocrisy.
Because I'm pretty sure there's been a pedophile a time or two amongst members of pretty much every denomination of Christianity. And then you have the entire Catholic Church, of course.
The very fact that this was posted, and a point being made of it being a member of the Satanic Temple that did it shows exactly why the Satanic Temple does what it does in regards to trolling Christians.
Unless I've missed posts here about a member of some Christian church being suspected of being a pedophile, and the main point of the article and posting it was that he was a member of that Christian church. But I doubt I missed any post like that.
Like being a Little Bit Pregnant ?
Nope. LaVey brand Satanism is just hedonism and is also atheistic and centered on self, not Satan.
Fooled you are.
Hedonism / pride --Just one small bite of the apple
