The Satanic Temple - guohua - 08-10-2020 OK, wait for it, yes it has to do with children, or to be more factual, Fetuses. Quote:Satanic Temple Raffles Free Abortion, Says Killing Unborn Babies Is ‘Ultimate Offering to Satan’ I am not sure who would want to breed with those things walking up the steps,,,, But. Quote:The Satanic Temple has described the killing of an unborn baby as “the ultimate offering to Satan” and is now raffling off a free abortion to raise money for a new pro-abortion campaign.And there is more: Quote:To fund its pro-abortion efforts, it is raising money through a raffle. The “grand prize” for those who donate at least $200 is an abortion. RE: The Satanic Temple - Schmoe1 - 08-10-2020 Jesus, where's a grenade when you need one? RE: The Satanic Temple - Freija - 08-12-2020 First of all, you do realize what’s going on in the OP is purely a theatrical ploy, right? Members of The Satanic Temple do not worship the devil or believe in magick and are a growing non-theistic politically and socially active group aligned with liberty, equality, rationalism, non-authoritarianism and do not believe in the supernatural. They are political activists using Satanic imagery ironically and satirically to promote their beliefs of separation of church and state, to generate attention and “prompt people to reevaluate fears and perceptions”. The Satanic Temple uses activism as an expression of worship based on their seven fundamental tenets:
I’m actually thinking about joining The Satanic Temple because some of the things they promote, I strongly believe in. I'm probably already on somebody's watch list anyhow so why not? Their mission statement is “to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits”. They believe in “artful” protests and theater to get their point across based on the following rules?
Kind of makes you wish the BLM, Antifa and the Boogaloo Boys etc., could follow their guidelines, doesn’t it? Further Reading: Hail Satan? puts the fun in Satanic fundamentalism[/img] Hell yeah! How the satanists became the good guys What The Satanic Temple is and why it’s opening a debate about religion The Satanic Temple (Wikipedia) Everything you need to know about the Satanic Temple, which the US government just officially recognized as an organized religion The Satanic Temple homepage Do not mistake or confuse The Satanic Temple with the Church of Satan based on the writings of Anton LaVey.

One has to wonder where all those abortion raffles were when all of these fuck ups from that picture were born. Oh the irony...

ETA: I don't care what people do as long as it doesn't affect my life in a negative way. I believe every person chose their path to learn certain lessons while they're here before they were born (reincarnation). If this is the path you choose now, so be it. You do you. As for me, I don't want any part of any organization/program/church with the word "Satan" in it. But, hey... that's just me. Carry on.

I expressed TWO opinions in the entire post you are referring to; 1) that I believe in and support some of their ideals and 2) that I wished other radical protest groups would follow their guidelines. The rest of my post was simply presenting information about their group and pointing out the outrage expressed was because some fell for their theatrics which is exactly what their group wanted. I’m curious which of their seven tenets do you disagree with or find offensive or do you feel fighting for liberty, equality, rationalism and non-authoritarianism is outside of your wheelhouse? Mystic Wanderer Wrote:You seem to be judging me. Care to elaborate WHY you took my remark as a negative? I didn’t take it as negativity, I took it as sarcasm or maybe cynicism considering I fall outside of the redpilled crowd’s mindset and your political ideological associations are pretty well known and hard to miss. Honestly now, wasn’t your first thought to blame this on the madness of the liberal left? Certainly that’s what I was expecting you to do and why I listed words not to use to see what you’d come up with to explain why you think I would “fit right in” which makes a heck of a lot of unfounded assumptions about me.

Regards, Bally RE: The Satanic Temple - Wallfire - 08-13-2020 I know a little about communications, and I can say that the description given of what the TST does and believes just made me smile. Its designed to upset people and arouse anger and fear. To be honest its not very good at either but some people just need to be noticed. As far as the abortion part, "buy a 200 dollar ticked and if you win you get a free abortion", says it all. If most people worshiped the devil, would the people who worshiped God be the evil ones ???.

Well, I did and if I was wrong then I apologize but I really don't think I am. Maybe I just woke up grouchy? I was also just looking for further explanation of why someone that really doesn't know much of anything about me thinks I would be a good fit in this group? What have I said or done that would give someone that impression? Bally002 Wrote:I'm for it now just pointing it out. Your opinion and perspective are welcome and valid. Thanks for sharing them.

Its designed to upset people and arouse anger and fear. To be honest its not very good at either but some people just need to be noticed. I think their intention is more to make people think and examine their anger and fear and it seems if nothing else, their performance art and iconography is pretty good at pushing buttons and pissing people off. It's kind of genius, actually. As far as the abortion thing, that falls in line with their 3rd tenet, that “one’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone” and they aren’t so much promoting abortion as they are protesting the government’s control over people’s lives. There is a documentary about them called Hail Satan available to rent/buy on YouTube that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Below is a Good Morning Britain interview with the co-founder of the Satanic Temple. He seems like a pretty smart, well mannered and well spoken dude? RE: The Satanic Temple - Sol - 08-13-2020 In my younger days, I've had a streak of "Pagan" years (was a practicing Pagan for well over a decade) and did look at Satanism as some of their traits appealed to me. But the bottom line was that they promote the "Me first, above all else.." philosophy and that just didn't agree with me. While "Me first" would be nice at times, I'm more the "You first" type of person. Satanism, Paganism, all out the door now as I tend more on the Atheist (or there's something bigger than us but I can't figure out what it is anymore or if it even exists) side of things. Old age and all of that...yada yada yada... Just to add: Those freaks in the OP picture represent mental illness to me, not Satanism. .

I presented a reply that would give you two options for interpretation. 1: You would see it as a negative remark (sarcasm), or, 2: You would see it as a fact, because you agree with their ideals and would be a good member choice. You chose option 1. This says more about you than me. Maybe you should take a look inside and ponder on why you see things as being an attack on you and your ideals when it comes from someone like me, who as you stated, have ideals that differ from yours. And, why would I hide how I think? This is ME. I may not use my real name here, but everything else is the REAL me. Something you should learn when you communicate with Conservatives is that we like to deal with facts, not feelings, when it comes to politics or ideals. RE: The Satanic Temple - Ninurta - 08-13-2020 @"Freija" - This will no doubt shock everyone, but I find myself in disagreement with @"Mystic Wanderer" over this issue. I don't think you'd fit in there well at all, at all, and should probably steer clear of them. They seem to be a gaggle of bitter old attention whores (think "Church Ladies", but in black robes) who care nothing about nothing other than to be seen, noticed, paid attention to, and you do not strike me as a good fit in their ranks due to that. .

LOL! One thing I have learned about "conservatives" is that most gleefully and blindly believe whatever bias confirming "facts" fit their paradigm, are highly polarized and rigid in their thinking and when questioned or challenged, often bring out the facts not feelings trope. Thanks for not disappointing. FWIW, I may be considered progressive on some social issues that affect me directly but am more of a moderate or Centrist in general and have several right leaning values, however, I am not a fan of our current administration or politics and politicians even a little bit. Back to bed. 9:00 AM for me is like the middle of the night.

What is it with anyone who disagrees with Conservative ideals, that when you say something, their reply is a laughing emoji? Are you trying to belittle me by laughing at me? Is that your argument? This happens all the time on FB when I try to talk to anyone who has left-leaning ideals. "blindly believe whatever bias confirming "facts" fit their paradigm". Say what? I can't even wrap my head around what you mean by this. If it's a FACT, it's a FACT, regardless of how it's confirmed. I need more coffee after this conversation. Have a good sleep. |
