For more info watch Hail Satan on Hulu. It's a great doc about the Church of Satan. They're good peeps. Weird, but good

It's called an argument from authority (or argument from scripture) and it's a logical fallacy. Pretty obvious I know. Just because an 1

authority says something is fact doesn't make it fact. Evidence and reason is what should support supposition.
RaymondChoppard
And the Bible basically says "don't act like an asshole, be nice with thy neighbor". All the rest is over-interpretration.

That's as much a summary of what the bible says as the color of harry potter's hair is to his entire book series.

It’s called disestablishmentarianism, and it’s one of the primary foundations of our country.
torillatavataan
I oppose that, but only because I want to see an "anti-" added to the beginning.
derekjohn
Admit it, you discovered that word years ago and have been dying to use it ever since.
derekjohn
It use to be thought to be the longest legitimate word in the English language, longer ones are mainly 'made up'.

Thank you, Satan

How can i join the church of satan?

One thing I've learned is, the last 4 years has exposed that 10s of millions of self professed US Christians love Trump's bigotry & hatred.

The Bible, even after reading with an open mind, sounds like poorly written fiction.

I was the kid that read Song of Solomon (porn) in Sunday school. I fought back about it being the word of god..and got out of all that crap.

Yeah, it's called "separation of church and state." It's in the Constitution.

Doesn't the Bible warn about this happening?

Yes
DrSchlepenstein
Satanism has more common sense than Christianity.
jwpj05
If you believe in Satin then you have to believe God.He loves you!! Remember he gave you a free will. You can choose Heaven or Hell
DrSchlepenstein
I do believe in Satin. Its a wonderful fabric.

Especially secular humanist like the The Satanic Temple that work to ensure religion isn’t mixed with gov, while protecting kids.

When the Church of Satan starts to make sense..
gahzeeruh
You should do some more digging on them. Theyre basically atheists with a goal to ensure separation of church and state.
zamalek1
I know who they are, I just come to write witty comments :P
Schmaron
Have been from the get-go. It’s just the murderous nut jobs that claim they are members that ruin it.
Xedi22
The Satanic Temple is a safer bet then.
chetnixandflill
They've been making sense for a much, much, MUCH longer time than any christian church OR government I've ever seen.
MST3K81
They've made more sense than most for a while now

This is by far the least appreciate post in the comment section. So true and such a classic meme. Well done sir/mam. *claps & nods smiling
EvilDuckyMomma
Did you all watch that documentary on the church of Satan that's on Netflix? It's actually quite amazing
SansAandAnguS
Agreed. People should be free to worship as they see fit, but church and State should be completely separate.
dyc3r
No they shouldn't. The laws/policies of the state should be determined by the people. Separating church and state is basically asking people
dyc3r
To cut out a large chunk of their moral foundation and just pretend it doesn't exist. We push for laws that align with the majority
dyc3r
It's up to us as people to oppose hatred and oppression, and there are plenty of zealots out there who push religious "teachings" to
dyc3r
Unhealthy extremes, but that's not a reason to cut religion from the equation entirely. There's a big difference between the debate of
dyc3r
"I believe X thing is wrong because Y, but let's have a civil discussion" and "You're less than human because my religion says so"
Silverwingedfluff
"MY RIGHTS AS A CHRISTIAN ARE BEING" Not affected, honey child. Freedom of religion is not a free pass to hate.
TheSaddestSeaHorse
As a Christian it's not even their place to judge someone. I mean, if we're following JC's code of conduct we're supposed to love eachother.
MagicalMrE0311
As a Christian, it pisses me off when other Christians act like laws being written without a focus on Christianity is an infringent.
MagicalMrE0311
Freedom of Religion includes not being forced to abide by others religious beliefs. Laws shouldn't be written with any religion in mind.
DomeGuy
"Hate" is speech. It's literally protected in the US Constitution. The words you're looking for are probably "hurt" or "oppress."
Elhifel
Not all speech is protected by the first amendment. Go take a law class.
DomeGuy
Hate speech is essentially political speech. Saying "i despise nazis" is not shouting fire in a crowded theatre.
Xedi22
“Hate speech” is “hate speech”...”hate” is an underpinning for other actions, which could be internal feelings, speech, or direct action.
transrightsareajoke
Seriously. People need to stop letting their fear of death seduce them into believing some trash written hundreds of years ago.
mrrightnow510
Uh.. more like millions

Lmfao you think the Bible was written millions of years ago???

Obviously. It was written pre-modern human and pre-paper.

Roaddog184
That needs to be removed, it obviously has no hold on those at the top, empty words spoken in an oath nullify that oath.
confanity
I hear what you're trying to say, but... even the ignorant stuff isn't all trash, and some religions don't even have a hell.
theangryjanitor
I for one, do not enjoy being threatened OR bribed. They do both. I like that even less.
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
The constitution was written hundreds of years ago, the Bible was written thousands of years ago. Which one are you referring to?
ManByTechnicality
Given the context of fear of death. And that there is nothing about the penalty of death in the US constitution, they are probably 1/2
ManByTechnicality
Referring to one of the many major revisions of the bible. 2/2

That pesky Constitution, boyyyy...
transrightsareajoke
I'm very glad the right to believe stupid shit and let it seep into political discourse is protected.
rowanblaze
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
rowanblaze
If your reason for a law is that your god says so, or vote for a candidate who says the same, you're violating that clause both ways.
Thephedora
Most religion that I've seen is meant to lift the congregation up and instill hope. Exetremist operate tge other direction.
ughscrewyou
That's interesting. Most of what I've seen exists to lift up the priests and preachers. Not just financially but with power.
Thephedora
Exactly... I see these weird church services and it feels like a different planet.
anzereke
Religions are all ways to control people. What makes control so insidious is that it's often pleasant. You just don't get to decide when.
Thephedora
I dont think instilling positive lessons and creating a sense of community or allow your congregation a sense of hope and empowerment is >
Thephedora
Nearly as controlling as the nsa spying on me through my Webcam, tracking me on my phone, or the police just breaking in no warrant.

Denevive
Meh. Does it matter? People have been trying to add to it or detract from it every year since it was even codified by the Council of Niacea.
mentallychallengeaccepted
It does. Believing in higher entitites have defined us a a race. People forget that
Denevive
Not really. Trying to *understand ourselves* has been the defining aspect of our race. Buddhism and Shinto don't believe in a higher being.
mentallychallengeaccepted
There are others than that but absolutely, point taken. I meant those type or searches have been with us forever. Hell Venus from Willdendor
mentallychallengeaccepted
Didn’t mean to come of as a douche! Hope all is well buddy

It doesn’t matter if one say hundred or thousand, that it does. Because it’s to neglect it’s impact

Is like like 28.000 bc. I’m not religious but i mean it HAS defined us a race. By war, power, cultural etc. and therefor I think saying
