I think you are getting downvoted because you don’t know what The Satanic Temple is all about. It definitely is not about worshipping some fictional being. It’s motto is: “Empathy. Reason. Advocacy.” They enjoy exposing the hypocrisy of religious, but also do advocacy work for good causes.
I don’t care about down votes. I am commenting specifically on the guy that evoked Morning Daylight as name for satan, and asserted his pagan family “could be dated to the beginning of time itself”
But , people like clicking arrows more than reading . Not my problem.
See the funniest part about satanism is there’s really no worship or even belief of existence.
Most satanists don’t actually believe Satan exists nor do they worship him. They just follow the thought of not being an asshole or using your religious beliefs to dictate how others live their lives
You definitely don’t understand the motives behind The Satanic Temple’s actions.
I’m not a member, nor do I follow news on them specifically, but they’re all about freedom of speech and belief, treating people equally and compassionately with unbiased justice for all, accepting personal fault and forgiving others, and keeping religion out of the public sphere. Basically a lot of what Jesus taught but which modern “Christian” Americans do not follow.
They do not actively believe in Satan nor do they worship him / it.
They use their donations and membership fees for pushing against religion in public institutions and religious hypocrisy, and fighting for freedom of expression, with sometimes hilarious results.
You’d know all that just from being a reddit follower for a number of years.
Your whack job fiction might be cool, but it’s still whack job fiction.
Edit : so many satanists. Who knew ?

Oh
So you’re commenting on one very specific niche case and extrapolating it to the entire group.
I call it “replying”
I was thinking more about the thought part that comes before the replying.

Just as valid as everyone else’s whack job fiction though, which is the point they always try to make.
Or, equally invalid, as whack job fiction tends to be .
Wut
