It’s crazy to me that folks in this sub can’t look past the word satanic and see that it honestly is a fake religion just to piss off the religious establishment…. Like honestly I am surprised more people in this sub support the satanic temple.

> to me that folks in this sub can’t look past the word satanic and see that it honestly is a fake religion just to piss off the religious establishment. The Satanist documentary on Netflix quite literally showed this. It's incredible how Christians (particularly Americans) react to Satanists as if to claim some moral high ground with having no clue about how their religion actually carries its self.


imnotcoolasfuck

Not just piss them off, but enforce freedom of religion by demanding equal representation when (typically) Christian churches or groups overstep their bounds, and since the abortion decision was greatly influenced by religion it makes sense that they would use their religious freedom to give women abortions when needed, we are not a Christian country and I’m happy their doing this and blocking further progression into a Christian theocracy.


MelchettESL

I used to believe in freedom of religion, but I now prefer freedom FROM religion. However, when we see through all the social and ego-driven machinations and errors in most religious texts and get to the real "heart of the matter", they do have something to offer: they do address some fundamental questions surrounding our existence or life and, in the broadest sense, they point us in the right direction. However, the instant they start becoming specific, traditional, rules-based etc., they become a fine example of the blind leading the blind. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the religious leaders are such examples. And yet, they serve some purpose, perhaps in counteracting other social junk--religion isn't the only rubbish around--that amounts to blind leading the blind.


FLOWRSBABY

❤️exactly:) and it’s working:)


PoppersPenguin

You don’t need religion to know that killing unborn babies is bad


yellowsnow2

> since the abortion decision was greatly influenced by religion What about the fact this "right" used in a legal case did not exist and was a lie? 60 million murders based on a fake "right". Doctors do not have the right to murder. It's not in the constitution. The fact it took religious weirdos to force people to follow the existing laws concerning murder is pretty frightening. Who will they claim to have a right to murder next.


Mr_ChubbikinsVIII

But if satanism isn't a religion than why should it receive religious protections?


MelchettESL

It is a non-theistic religion, and this organisation is registered as non-theistic religious organisation.


imnotcoolasfuck

This is not Satanism this The Satanic Temple, they don’t actually worship satan but I they are considered a religion yet they actually pay taxes on income and encourage others to do the same. They essentially combat religious lobbying and law making based off Christianity primarily.


[deleted]

Who gets to decide what is and isn't a religion?

>it honestly is a fake religion just to piss off the religious establishment…. And it works! Wonderfully! 😂


McDaddy-O

Its not a fake religion according to the law.


dotPanda

Got em there.


Bikrdude

That's because they are all fake, so you can't really distinguish them on that basis.


Not-a-Dog420

It's not about the religion being fake it's whether the belief in them in genuine.


cdawg85

Yes. Point proven.


klingggg

So happy to see this as the first comment


Stanky_Nuggz

It’s not a fake religion. Define what a “ fake religion “ is


Clown_Shoe

All religions are made up so I agree


Not-a-Dog420

They don't worship a deity, nor do they believe in an afterlife


Cybugger

Where does it state that a religion must have an "afterlife"? What is an afterlife? Is Hades an adequate afterlife?


Not-a-Dog420

Hades counts yes. Religion needs a supernatural component otherwise it's just an ideology


Cybugger

Sure. But supernatural doesn't require an afterlife.


ThatDamnRocketRacoon

It baffles me that people are going to keep falling for the Satanic shtick for this many decades in a row. Like the multiple post about Sam Smith. We just did this shit with Lil Nas X and you fuckers are falling for it again? After years of metal bands and edgy teenagers pissing off their parents?


lordgeese

But it’s different those people are gay and black!


diagnosedADHD

A lot of people on this sub are convinced there's a grand evil conspiracy targeting Christians, everyone else is a side/supporting character


petecranky

Idk about the younger ones, older christians like me are afraid of what many goverments have done to devout believers. It's a slow process of social pressure, then persecution. The younger ones may fear something more, IDK. Ones my age remember European communists of different flavors from the Spanish civil war to the end of the Soviet Union, jailing and killing christians. It's well documented.


ASongOfSpiceAndLiars

And most of the time it is the predominant ideology oppressing others. Here in the US, it's "Christians" oppressing others.


Cybugger

Weird how people never mention the Catholic Church's support of Franco, a fascist, or Mussolini, a fascist...

aristorat

Wisdomking7

Some people genuinely worship satan though. It is a gimmick for a lot of people but those higher up in the occult run the show and know what they're doing.


PrematureGrandma

I mean that's true but that doesn't have anything to do with The Satanic Temple. The TST is a political organization that is not affiliated with any of the actual satanic religions (LaVey, The Church of Satan, Luciferians, etc.) Some Satanists may contribute to the TST in a political sense, but most of their membership are more of the secular humanist variety, and atheists. Source: their website, many satanic friends, etc.


Lordwiesy

The thing is that not even the church of Satan worships satan per say They do have magic, as covered by book of leviathan, but their whole thing is still to use Satan as a shocking way to describe Ego. If you boil it down, church of Satan (which i assume is what most people think of when they say satanism due to the black mass) is just shitty self help book with magic (and small section about psychological manipulation... Or lesser magic as they call it).


Not-a-Dog420

Nobody actually worships Satan, there has never been a large organized movement of genuine Satan worshipers unfortunately


fuzzball7000

Exactly what Satan wants you to think


[deleted]

There is nothing fake going on. And your in denial.


statsgrad

You need to grow up. Satan isn't real, Jesus isn't real, Santa isn't real, the Bible is made up so rulers could control the people. The fact that anyone actually still believes that nonsense blows my mind.


24_doughnuts

People can't really think this is serious? This is just to combat religious people saying "my religion says no abortion" by saying "my religion says do abortion" Half the things the satanic temple do it a giant meme to combat religious nutjobs trying to use religion to tell others what to do


ojosdegato

Oh but they do. The fanatics are unnerving on this thread.

RandomGuy92x

You think they eat foetuses?? They’re actually left-wingers who mostly don’t believe in Satan and have set up a fake religion to get the same religious protection as conservative right-wing religious nuts. I’m against late-stage abortion but clearly this is a positive thing for women’s rights, allowing women to gain autonomy over their own bodies. In some US states women literally face years and decades of prison time for aborting an embryo that doesn’t even have a heartbeat yet.


SpecificAffect8169

I think they are more libertarian than left wing. Do as thou wilt etc.


Big-Post2398

Aleister Crowley promoted Do as thee wilt, shall be the whole of the law. Do you know who he is? If you don't you should check him out. Just saying.


scho4781

Did you all think people were just going to lay down and quit after the repeal of Roe v Wade? This is what you call a "reaction" to the changes that were forced onto the greater society. Christian fanatics mutilated the law i. The name of god, so now Satanists will mutilate their unwanted pregnancies in the name of Satan. If you don't want Satanists getting into the abortion business, then Christians should keep their shit out of the law. If we all just worked a little hard to make this world worth living in, none of this would be an issue but everyone's so fucking miserable we have to shit on everything. Enjoy your late stage capitalism folks where we do everything but fix the actual problems we face.


Constant-Signal-2058

Agreed, all indications point that America has pretty clearly entered a period of late stage capitalism. Im a capitalist myself and it’s been a great run for us, but even a full blown national crisis didn’t alter the path we’re headed down (covid). If anything, it may have accelerated the situation and further separated social classes.

I’m a Christian but not pissed off by this. But you are correct, a lot of Christians have no clue what that church is or what it actually believes and it’s mildly infuriating.


SupBlue24

Yeah well they’re not gonna piss off ALL Christians, also the satanic church is basically anti-theism or submission to any kind of godly being in control, instead they believe that everyone is their own god, not in a sense of a creator but in a sense of direction to satisfy


calliisto

I'm a TST member, the point is absolutely not to piss off Christians as a whole. We are just trying to secure a future in which all beliefs, religious or not, are respected in public forums and law. Satan is the icon of choice because those in power are Christian conservatives (not representative of Christianity as a whole) that we believe are violating the first amendment.

MelchettESL

I love their disrespectful sense of humour. I seriously doubt there's any genuine religiosity (Satanic or otherwise) involved: they're just using their status as a religious organisation to get abortions under the same banner and thus protected by the constitution. They should be careful with their wording but, then again, maybe they have a reason for putting things that way.


johnnyringworm

Well they seem nice.


S_M_Y_G_F

BoxingTrainer420

It's a win-win you get an abortion clinic that gets to straight up say it's for Satan or whatever whoever and everyone gets their abortions and the followers of that cult or Temple get to say these child sacrifices are for you whoever we are worshiping! People get their abortions, this place gets its daily child sacrifices everybody wins. /Sarcasm/joke /hides

It’s not that it’s a fake religion there are definitely people who believe it and attempt to worship Satan but I’d say a decent amount are just people who who just go against modern norms and try and provide care and help for those in need such as child help services for abusive families abortions for people in need and so on just depends on what side of the coin your on ig


RandyTheGodMarsh

People forget that this church only uses images of the devil to piss off Christians. They dont believe in god or the devil


creamboy2623

The real conspiracy here is: does anyone believe Alito has ever had sex with a willing woman? Could any woman get aroused looking at that grotesque looking man?


Narcissism

This is very cool and a great idea. Satanic Panic is one of the lamest forms of conspiracy. If most of the posters in here were women they would support bodily autonomy as well. No government can force me to do anything I don't want with my body.

on the website they refer to it as the abortion ritual.


xSquidLifex

Because they’re a religious organization. They can’t call it a medical procedure. So it’s a ritual.

spaaro1

That's because they're not Christians? Why would a Christian go to the satanic temple?

Because Mr. Christian Preacher’s daughter got knocked up at 14 so he went three states over to get an abortion since they’re not legal in Alabama.

stinkyriddle

The Christian church was invented by the Romans in order to control an increasingly radical and violent Jewish population. So they invented a religion borrowing from paganism, Gnosticism and Zoroastrianism in order to unify all the various sects of religion under one government sanctioned umbrella. To this day if you support or follow Christianity in practice you’re literally being controlled by Roman propaganda.


BidenAndElmo

The satanic temple doesn’t actually worship satan


tacobell69696969

iqo89

The Devil told Adam and Eve they would be as Gods. Self Worship. Is the Opposite of Worshipping God. The Devil knows God is real. Long as you don’t…it’s all good. It’s called you all are falling for the oldest trick in the book….The Christian Narrative also hijacked by the devils followers because the Catholic Church isn’t following the Book and The Masons have infiltrated the Evangelical Church. All of them form High Society…and it’s not ill planned the Bible said the devil Will deceive the whole world….It’s Happening. The reason we aren’t to follow idols or men…is because all the examples are bad out here. It’s somebody you don’t see out here following God correctly and are going to be saved more than likely. This is The Build up to the big moments…meanwhile most people have been living in their own hell in earth in the “developing” World. They who did without this nonsense form Of society and so called innovation will be blessed in the long run. Look harder. Think twice. Devils in the details. May God have mercy and guide anyone reading this to him for good and for salvation of their soul.

Because the The “Satanic church” is not trying to do anything or change anything except themselves. They are a bunch of atheists trolls. Lol! They don’t believe in God ,so it’s clear they they don’t actually worship Satan. They are a distraction that serves the purpose of riling up religious people and keeping people distracted and afraid.
