If a person claims that they are practicing the Left Hand Path but choose to support or agree to an organizations collectivist, leftist, conforming mindset, then they do not deserve to call themselves Satanists or practitioners of the Left Hand Path. I won't get into the political argument as that is not my point in writing this, but as Thomas LeRoy once pointed out, the Left Hand Path is individualistic. So, it does not bother me if you choose to associate yourself with any political philosophy. But choosing to associate yourself with a far left or a far right point of view is contradictory to what the Left Hand Path or Satanism is all about, which puts TST on the spotlight as that political side.
Satanism and the path of darkness has its purity, if you have forgotten this purity by justifying that TST is "antinomian" as a way of trying to categorize it on the LHP scale, then you are absurd.
The Satanic Temple appeals to the followers.
It claims itself to be sinister, but clearly it's doctrine is strait from one of the bookends of the liberal/conservative spectrum.
Their adherents, those that openly affiliate, are likewise "cut/paste" from the prescribed extreme view. They don't even think. Like they like the sigil for its outward antinomian context and suddenly their some "satanic" wigger emulating the inner city with their group chat autodeification. Politically, everything is party line. It seems straying from the ideological camp may actually cause discomfort, especially when considering ones lockstep standing within the herd. I wonder how many kids in the wicked cabal would be weary to support that other bookend?
Yes, there could be some irony there.
It claims itself to be sinister
Amendment to above:
And I don't care about LHP perspective that sees both legal code and religious doctrine as control text. The same master under different names, blah blah blah. But where idiot sheep society (people that think things just because people around them think things) is concerned , and the society I have to live in is concerned, what is wrong with trolling "blue laws" using rainbow devil coloring books?
The only thing it could ever have to do with you is if you say you are a Satanist and someone pulls up the tenets of the satanic temple on wikipedia and assumes those are the laws of your secular religion. Fluffed by association.
Since the beginning of "The Aeon of Horus" (if you want to get occulty and philosophical), or about 1900, it has been a 125 year long major left turn. Most if not all social changes in this time have been towards egalitarian ideals anywhere a society is advanced. In the US this hit a snag after WWII while most of the world kept sliding left. And only because God Blessed White America against communism did the US not follow the world into 'socialism'.
Even Saudi Arabia is not immune to some left trending change. Like women getting to vote in Saudi elections, in the few elections they have. They are only 100 years behind the US in this arrow of "liberal" leftward change.
A single god dies as secular humanism rises along with non-belief and appropriation of 'socialist' ideals. I encourage anyone (maybe some of the socks) to debate me on this.
Fuck the Heirophant anyway.
Baiting liberal music video:
That is also why I gotta laugh when skinhead gang bullshit gets propped up as Aeonic. It just doesn't fit the trends of developed society. It's flooring it in reverse actually. And usually fails within six years when attempted.
Nothing wrong really, except that, if you want to actually bring about some social, political or legal change, then putting Satan on your banner is unlikely to ensure you success. On the opposite, it will alienate potential followers. And by followers, I don't mean hardcore, bible thumping Christian bigots, because those won't be swayed, but the masses of moderate people, whether they are Christians or atheists. And if you are into any sort of activism, then gathering followers is crucial. And they chose a wrong mascot for that.Well, the flying spaghetti monster was already taken.
I agree with the TST. Fundy Christians need to be opposed on their religious provenance. Which is what all this is about. Conservative propaganda and parrots will spin them into a PC legion with Nancy Pelosi but really their goal is the same as The Pastfarians and the challenge to The Kansas Board of Education.
I once saw a sticker on a big old truck that read, "If you don't love god get out of our country".
That's evangelical praying for rapture America all over.
Do you have fundimentalists so fucking retarded they think you legally have to listen to the word of god? Or is that just an American protestant thing.
I like killing the notion American societal laws are the will of bullshit on high, which was the intent of putting intentionally coersive biblical art on government property. I mean, it's not like The DoD paying for non-denominational chapels on all their bases. That's just a secular right provided to the enlisted. It is saying, "God is our legal systems ultimate judge", which no longer works in an increasingly irreligious society where many (like myself) hold divinity to be a logically invalid idea.
It's time for god to go join Goatboy and spaceship beep boop.
I appreciate anyone that keeps in check those that try to blur that.
But that's just me, and I like my country founded by pissed off deist aristocrats that put pentagrams in the urban planning of the capital...
All hail the holy doctrine that doesn't even mention god specifically, except as a right of the people to pursue. Especially because its a tangible thing that acknowledges its written by people. Much less angering instrument of control for a race incapable of anarchy. Amen.
You like TST, fine, but who else likes them? They can't even get Satanists at their side, let alone appeal to the wider audience
Arguments so sinister to the politically correct liberal "take-over" that they hath found legion with "Jesus Is Lord" and the late Rush Limbaugh. Exact same arguments even. Makes "California Liberal" an appealing vessel to climb aboard.
Sorta makes me want to cut the pineal gland out of trafficked white children if that were actually a non-asian thing.
Here's one for "like minds" in a thread titled:
