We THOUGHT we were heading out to stir up good trouble with the usual 2-15 Catholic Geezers from 40daysforLife org. But found this sad crap instead! It’s a school that busses kids over, on a school day. They bring them in shifts, by age group.

We had to switch gears fast; ended up playing baby shark on loop and using only our rainbow flags. I hadn’t finished my Seven Tenets sign yet, so it was just gonna be the flags as far as “Satanic” memorabilia goes.

We aren’t trying to scare kids! We know firsthand what it’s like to be brainwashed. Despite leaving our satanic flags out of the mix, they still thought we were demons.

We’ve got a lot of other videos from this same day going viral on the other socials, and the local NBC news is picking up the story.

Using kids like this pissed off other Catholics too! So it’s created quite the frenzy, in a good way. Now a lot of Christian’s are publicly stating this is wrong.

Just wanted to update everyone in this group because I told you we are heading out with our flags. Didn’t think it would turn out like this!

Hail Satan! Maybe one day we can all live in peace and have equal rights for ALL?

Just finished watching this gem of an educational video and was absolutely blown away! 10/10, definitely recommend.

People love to make assumptions about Satanism, mostly that it’s “devil worshipping” or just an attempt to be edgy and it cracks me up what people say because of that every single time. It’s just the strangest things and it’s funny how inaccurate they are. Really, what causes them to do this? 😭
One common thing people tell me is that I’m actually worshipping Satan even though I don’t believe he’s real. At that point I might as well be every religion because I don’t believe any deity is real!

I’m a new satanist, I joined about a month ago and I’m very surprised the kinds of things that happen because of it. I wish more people knew what it was instead of making assumptions like it’s devil worshipping or something evil. On posts that ask “what religion are you” I get downvoted when I say satanist and people leave the weirdest replies. I’ve learned to keep it to myself already!

Hail, Oklahoma! ❤️‍🔥

The Oklahoma TST candidate group (The Black Flame Temple) is approaching graduation, and we have one more big event coming up! We’d love to invite everyone to join us for Hellish Hypotheticals, our monthly ethical discussion.

📅 When: 6-7 PM Central Time This Saturday

💻 Where: Google Meet

🔗 How to join: https://linktr.ee/theblackflametemple

You don’t have to be a Satanist, a member of The Satanic Temple (TST), or part of our candidate group to participate. Everyone is welcome! If you’re curious about ethics, philosophy, or just enjoy a good debate, we’d love to have you.

So, what is Hellish Hypotheticals? We explore ethical dilemmas where two or more of The Satanic Temple’s Seven Tenets may conflict, creating situations where there isn’t an easy answer. The Tenets serve as guiding principles, and our scenarios challenge assumptions about compassion, justice, bodily autonomy, science, and reason.

I'm planning to seek a religious exemption from the grooming standards at my new job, which requires males be clean shaven, on the grounds that a core tenant of Satanism is one's body being inviolable. My job requires a written waiver from a physician or religious leader for an exception or exemption, but I have no congregation or similar in my area.

My exp​​expectation is going to be that they need something in writing, but I figured I'd seek guidance from the community before I raised the issue with my bosses.

Dear, Dark Father.

Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctorines born of fearful minds and darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat at the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms, and illusory categorizations.

Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of one or all.

That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is done. Hail Satan.

I know nothing about the person, but I liked his words and wanted to memorize them. Couldn't find this anywhere, so I'm putting it on the Internet myself. Please correct any mistakes. I have the mp3 file I used that's just this with no bullshit, but idk how to upload that publicly.

Hello my friends, i have a situation.

For context I am a senior at a public high school.

So, I go to a high school in Nebraska, and in the handbook the dress code doesn’t say anything about “not being able to display certain religious symbols”, and for that reason I decided to wear a necklace with a Sigil of Baphomet on it.

Immediately when I walked into the school I got pulled aside by the principal, TAKE NOTE THIS FULL SCHOOL IS FULL OF PEOPLE WEARING CROSSES, and he told me my sigil was inappropriate for a school setting, and since, every single time I wore it or any type of black metal band t shirt I get dress coded. isn’t discrimination against specific religions illegal?!

Just wondering what I should do because I truly wish to take pride in satanism, but my school is not letting me. thanks

sorry for the long message, hope all of you have wonderful weeks.

AVE.

Shūkyō nisei

Shūkyō nisei (宗教2世), literally 'religion second generation', is a Japanese phrase, which refers to children being raised by their parents with strong religious beliefs. These children may be forced to practice the same religion against their will by their parents

Now they use our group of counter protesters in their propaganda Satanic Panic videos in an attempt to get donations. (Lovelife org is one of the multimillion dollar nonprofit grifts behind clinic closures. This location doesn’t even do abortion, but that doesn’t stop them from closing it down.)

I’m going to make a sign w Seven Tenets for their next Loiter and Harassment Event aka “prayer walk”. Any ideas from Redditors that will help save our clinics are welcome! We blast music, shout all sorts of stuff. Including the services the kids can get at PPH without parental consent lol.

I’m very new to this satanism stuff , I’ve always wanted to know and to document more but i was afraid of being judged, no more haha :))) I was wondering if you can recommend me some books , documentary or podcast that can help me understand all the satanism , ocult , rituals , rules traditions and all of that , I really want to know and to practice it. Thank you ❤️

heeyy coming from the philippines which is .. rather a religious country. i have thought about my beliefs and the such, since i was in 11th grade. and decided not to have a label on it. and somehow considered satanism. i was wondering if anyone would be a buddy and tell me stuff about getting into it? like a guide or just a friend. : )

I'd love to be Ashley Graves from the Coffin of Andy and Leyley, but I am too broke. I think I have a top and bottoms that would be a close match though, but I don't have the ability to dye my hair black rn. Then again... maybe I could ask my partner to pay for that :3 They and I will be going also to the Queen Mary's dark harbor event!

Hey folks. So, remember that town of Ottumwa, Iowa that's been all over the news after a TST member gave an awesome invocation to open up the city council meeting? It turns out that council held another meeting where they discussed some of the fallout.

Most of the members seem to lay blame for all of the drama and death threats at the feet of the man who gave the invocation, rather than seeing it as the predictable outcome of their decision early this year to begin having opening prayers at all. It sounds like both the town and the woman who tried to keep the viral council meeting on track have received huge doses of Christian "love" (aka hate), as has the man who gave the invocation himself.

Apparently, the town's plan at this point is to refine their invocation policy, with one resident suggesting it should limit speakers only to people who believe in the Christian god (she also illogically suggests doing so would in no way limit speakers to only being Christian). Importantly, the mayor also claims he plans to ban the speaker who gave the TST invocation from giving his next scheduled invocation on November 3.

My understanding is that the Freedom From Religion Foundation has already sent a letter (link to pdf version) to the town council explaining the law and asking the city to reply with steps it will take to prevent similar issues in the future. I'm wondering, however, if TST might decide to sue in the event that its speaker is indeed banned from future invocations.

As a resident of the town in question myself, I hate how this town has responded to everything and feel like it's high time local leaders learn that their personal views do not represent everyone here and have no place in government proceedings. So... do we think TST might pick up this fight?
