    In Reno Nevada last year a Satanic priest said a satanic prayer at the Reno City Council meeting because the city council will not start the meeting without their prayer. It didn't go over well to say the least.. Hypocrisy 😂

    When I used to train horses, I used to introduce new ideas to them slowly….like just getting them used to a blanket on their back for a while, before introducing a saddle. Or having the rider just step up on their back then get down, before they had a chance to react badly. So I was thinking, maybe you could start with an Easter bunny club, and then once that’s operating, move up to a Leprechaun club, then the Little Demon club, and finally the Satan club. Hahaha…..just goofing, sorry. Keep up the good work!

    The question was raised decades ago, to the advocates of religious afterschool programs, among other issues with regards to religious displays and general freedom of expression. "What are you going to do when a religion or ideology you don't agree with decides to participate?" Well, here we are. I'm glad that a settlement was reached, though an official ruling by the judicial branch would have been better. This is a win in this particular case, but I'm concerned that the current iteration of SCOTUS will dismantle judicial precedent with regard to separation of church and state. I have this feeling the main reason they settled is because they realized this wasn't a good case to take up the ladder. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they were pressured into it by their own political `tribe,` so to speak.

    • @kenofken9458
      @kenofken9458 2 месяца назад

      It's meant to be provocative. Almost all Satanists, at least the public ones, are really just secular humanists.
      The triggering is valuable. There are only two ways to constitutionally handle religion in the public square. One, you keep it out entirely, which is the cleaner solution.
      The second way is to allow things like displays of religion on public land, but you then have to allow it for everyone. What right wing Christians like to do is to try to dominate the space so only their religion is represented. So what Satanists do is say "fine, but we're putting up a statue of Bahophet".
      That's sort of the nuclear option. The Christians almost always back down at that point.

    Ecclesiastes 1

    1 The words of Kohelet the son of David, king in Yerushalayim:
    2 Pointless! Pointless! - says Kohelet -Utterly meaningless! Nothing matters!
    3 What does a person gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
    4 Generations come, generations go, but the earth remains forever.
    5 The sun rises, the sun sets; then it speeds to its place and rises there.
    This mainly means that LIFE IS INFACT POINTLESS!!! GO ASK THE ABSOLUTE AND 12 TRUE TRIBES OF JACOB AND THEIR NOW RABBIS FOR MORE!!!
    SO AS MANY OF THE PROPHETS, SAGES, JUDGES, RABBI, AND SO MANY OTHERS SAID; "IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO BE STILL BORN, AND I THE ABSOLUTE TRUE G.F.G. ALSO AGREE AND I STATE THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF THE NUNS OR PRIESTS THAT DELIVERED ME AT THE CATHOLIC HOSPITAL I WAS DELIVERED AT WOULD HAVE BROKEN MY NECK SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE COME INTO A WORLD WITH SUCH COVERT GLOBAL MIND CONTROL, WHICH IS NOTHING MORE THAT INTENTIONAL ABUSEIVE US OF ELECTRONICS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES."

      Percy Shelley, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin all embraced the figure of Satan as a perfect symbol of resistance to oppressive regimes. I cringe at the thought of a cosmic bully that punishes intellectual inquiry with eternal torment. Maybe I should dress up at Yahweh as he’s the creepiest character in any story I’ve ever heard of.

  • @jasonhatfield3084
    @jasonhatfield3084 2 месяца назад +4

    Satanic Temple seems to espouse solid Humanist tenets. But if you're constantly having to explain that "no, we don't actually believe in Satan", you're wasting precious public attention trying to re-gain control of your own narrative. Why? To an outsider it just looks like an elaborate performance art, not primarily a sincere effort to instill good secular values. I understand the point you're trying to make- that if Christians, et. al. insist on access to public institutions, then all forms of religiosity, including historically despised ones, should have such access. But doesn't that mean your ostensible offensiveness is the point? So, you're trying to be disarming and performatively offensive at the same time...? Its a bit convoluted, to be honest.

    • @kenofken9458
      @kenofken9458 2 месяца назад

      No, it's genius. Christians back down from this performance art. They wouldn't do so for plain old humanists. The offensiveness works. Here's how it plays out 99% of the time:
      The right wing Christians will come up with a way to try to dominate the space. Like insisting on installing a huge cross or 10 Commandments display in a statehouse. Now they can do that, but under constitutional law, that opens the field for any other religion to put up something symbolic to them.
      So along come the Satanists who up the ante: They say "fine, you put up your thing, we'll install a statue of Baphomet".
      Now Baphomet is not Satan, and its origins have more to do with a mis-translation of Old French and a spurious accusation against the Knights Templar by a crooked king. But it looks scary and Satanic to the Christian imagination: A human goat head man with horns decorated with a pentagram and various occult symbols.
      When the Evangelicals learn that their actions will lead directly to the display of something Satan-like in appearance, they back down. Separation of church and state wins, theocracy loses. So far I don't think the Baphomet statue actually has ever had to leave its storage facility.
      Satanists antics are perfect. They are the nuclear deterrent of the anti-theocracy movement.

    Delphic Oracle Temple club etc. Sunk cost among power and lobbying-(Gods chosen- we are worth saving and you have chosen not to be). Outcasting -outgrouping the kids/parents that participate. Private businesses with under 12 employees can usually discriminate against hiring parents or their children etc. This is the greatest way to employ Lawyers ever(by using a highly inflammatory name . Borrowing a biblical name for a group seems to serve lawyers best. Memorable- like a rash.
