I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

Do you know which church has never done some violent shit? The Satanic Temple. Not even Satanists are as despicable as god-fearing Christians.

In the documentary "Hail Satan?" One of the church's high-ranking members did hold a public event where she tried to incite violence against then-president Donald Trump. The Church did "excommunicate" her for this, but the church leader did express how worried he was about members turning into a militant group.

Militant atheists... I don't think that's actually an issue that exists but if it did, it would only be as a reaction to militant theists who actually rule many parts of the world.

Fantastic documentary though, I highly recommend it.

I think it'd be more accurate to say militant anti theists.

A good reminder that belief doesn't kill anyone but fearing God, being afraid of that belief, that'll get you to do anything.

Give me that old time conservative christian terrorism.

Ah the little know 11th commandment. ‘Thou shall commit acts of terrorism’.

You’d be surprised at how frequently god, or god’s chosen mouthpiece, has ordered some casual genocide.

A religion of murderers, terrorists, rapists, pedophiles, and torturers attacking the Satanic Temple. Why am I not surprised.

So... A hate crime cuz it's religion based?

Good to read that local police are taking it seriously.
