380 000 Christian churches should be a clue.

Damn.

That's a LOT of accelerant...

Seems kind of excessive. But if any of our US compatriots are interested, I can get them a good deal several lorry loads of skunk oil. I know a guy.

Thank you -- you clearly know more about these groups than I do. 

I'm glad to hear that the American group isn't related to the Nine Angles. They seem like a nasty bunch. 

Two questions, if you happen to know: 

Do the Nine Angles people believe in a real Satan, or do they use the name as a kind of symbol? 

And am I correct in thinking that your group uses the name as a symbol or mascot, but doesn't hold to the idea that there's a real Satan out there? Like no one is asking for favors from an evil demon or anything. 

As I think about it, I recall that there's a good precedent here. Some of the great English Romantic poets saw Satan as a kind of tragic hero, much like Prometheus. They held him up as a symbol of justified rebellion against authority. Though they seem to have gotten their image of Satan more from Milton than from Christian orthodoxy. 

Blake, as usual, was unique. Since he saw God as the state or condition of infinite awareness, he defined Satan as the opposite -- a near-total condition of opacity. Humans could aspire to the condition of God, but, he thought, often fall to the condition of Satan.

‘Unique’ is a very charitable term. What Blake was, was teetotal fucknuts crazy.

TST, The Satanic Temple, doesn't believe in any god/gods, including Satan. He's used as a metaphor, we're all atheists. Using religious imagery, like a pentagram, or an inverted crucifix is to get the attention of those who "believe" because we know what kind of reaction it'll provoke. 
They always go apeshit, which does nothing but bring attention to how biased the US is towards anything that's considered anti-christian.

So a satanist proselytizing at your door is scary, but a Christian is not.

Texas homeowners terrified after stranger wearing satanic mask appears at their front door: ‘Scared to leave the house’



The unsettling video shows the individual dressed in all black, wearing a red mask with horns and holding a sign that appears to be made out of cardboard.

The Bible passage describes the apocalypse and how believers will go to heaven while nonbelievers will be thrown into the lake of fire, according to Biblia.

“I’m scared,” the homeowner told the outlet. “I’m scared to leave the house. I’m scared to be at the house.”

“It’s about the end of times,” she added. “It’s about judgment day. I freaked out. I couldn’t even think of anything.”

The Carrollton Police Department told WFAA that the masked individual hadn’t been seen on any other properties in the area, and did not commit a crime.

Cops are monitoring the neighborhood just in case another situation like this happens again.

Catholics decry Black Mass scheduled to take place at Kansas State Capitol

A group of Catholic students has formed a petition with more than 22,000 signatures asking Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to cancel a Black Mass scheduled to take place at the end of the month.

An organization for Satanists, The Satanic Grotto, has organized a Black Mass to be held at the Topeka Capitol building on March 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP) vice president John Horvat, a native of Kansas, stated that he was appalled at the “heinous blasphemy.”

“This is not just an offense against God but an attack on the very moral fabric of our state and nation. I urge all God-fearing Americans to take a stand—join us in peaceful protest, sign the petition, and offer prayers of reparation," he said. “Now is the time to defend our faith and reject this public affront to God.”

The Satanic group at the center of the planned stated:

“Join us at the Topeka Capitol building in Kansas as we dedicate the grounds and our legislature to the glory of Satan. We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme. God will fall and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer.”

In return, Satanists should start a petition to stop Catholic masses.

Trump blamed for rise of Satanism in schools

Governor of Florida Ron Desantis has blamed US President Donald Trump for the Satanic Temple’s emergence spreading their ideology and values to children.

“I heard this and then I was like, well, how did it get there? Is that even a religion? And lo and behold, the Trump administration gave them approval to be under the IRS as a religion.

“So that gave them the legal ability to potentially do it.

“My view would be that that’s not a religion that the founding fathers were trying to create. But I do think that IRS ruling, I was really surprised to see that they did that.”

These comments are due to actions made under Trump’s former administration as the Internal Revenue Service designated the Satanic Temple a church. This decision allowed the church to apply for faith based grants and tax exempt status.

Church of Satanology wants flag flown at Hartford City Hall after Christian flag was OK'd

The Hartford City Council’s decision to fly a Christian flag at City Hall has sparked a debate.

The council voted last week 7-2 to approve the Christian flag to fly from the front of the building during Holy Week, as they’ve done several times before.

But now, the man behind the Church of Satanology wants his flag to be flown too.

“I'm an atheist. I don't believe in Satan, but it's to draw an uncomfortable attention to something. So, it's pushback, the fact that there's flags up -- a Christian flags or religious flags at City Hall and public space that's uncomfortable to a lot of us,” said Chaz Stevens, of the Church of Satanology. “[The flag] says Satan loves the first amendment. It's not profane. It's not. It's not vulgar. There's nothing about this flag that should raise an eyebrow. If you put the cross up, which is a symbol of their beliefs, you should put up my flag.”

“When they put up the Christian flag, they made the flagpole a public forum and a public forum, you have to have the free flow of information. You can't pick and choose,” Stevens added.

Satan is coming back to Iowa

A federal judge ordered state officials in Iowa on Monday to permit a local Satanic Temple organization to hold a holiday event in the rotunda of the state capitol after years of denying the group’s application.

The religious organization and Iowa Republican state officials have been in a legal battle over the group’s applications to hold a holiday event at the state capitol in recent years.

Republicans in Iowa, who currently control the governorship and majorities in the state house and senate, have cited the capitol building’s policies prohibiting gratuitous violence and obscene displays as justification for denying the applications.

According to the office of the attorney general, Brenna Bird, state Republicans intend to appeal the federal judge’s decision.

In December 2023, the group had a religious holiday display in the Iowa state capitol, but it was vandalized by a Christian military veteran. The Turning Point founder, Charlie Kirk, pledged $10,000 to the accused vandal’s legal defense. The following year, the Satanic Temple’s application for a holiday display and event was denied.

“State officials have made it clear that they denied TST permission to hold events in the Capitol rotunda because they disagreed with their religious viewpoint,” said Shefali Aurora, ACLU of Iowa staff attorney, in a statement on the court order. “It is a foundational principle that the government cannot restrict speech in this way, favor one religion over another, or discriminate against religious groups because they don’t agree with them.”

The group said its proposed holiday event would include costumes of the European folklore character Krampus, caroling, coloring for children and ornament making. In its denial of the application, state officials cited sticks included in the costumes that could be used as weapons and policies meant to protect children who might be present in the public space.

Judge Rose wrote that the state officials’ arguments did not justify the denials, noting the argument that the character Krampus might scare children was “not a permissible basis for excluding speech” and the argument about the sticks included with the costumes “cannot justify denying the entire event”.

Really? They tried to ban satanic displays claiming it was violent? Then they should also ban Christian displays because that guy being nailed to a cross is much more gory.

I've said it before; I love the Satanists. Not because I identify with them. I think they're weird. I probably have more in common with liberal Christians than I do with them.

The thing is, their approach to church-state separation is extremely effective. They do a great job getting it through theist's head why it's a good idea to keep the government out of religion.

[Fake Messiah]

Yeah, the satanic temple was created to have a higher moral ground than Christians, which they always manage to accomplish.
