Satanism and Politics | Forum

Quote from Devil Warship Dark Enlightenment, you don't write poorly but you also don't make your points very clearly.

Nah, he's one of a kind, although unless I'm mistaken I believe he is much of the time - whatever works. Of course it can't be argued what 'anything' reminds 'anyone' of, just sayin'.

Edit : spacing

@Anna  - With all fairness he did volunteer for the Bavarian Army after dodging admission to the Austrian army on grounds of miscegenation within their service ranks. 

@Rooster Cogburn - to that person's credit almost all of my posting here is done while high.  As you can buy your pot at the store here. If there was ever something called 'recreational posting' mine is it. Plus I like arguing. 

My editorializing is also heavily influenced by Gonzo Journalism. The definition of getting high and writing shit. And while I try to keep consistent there is a treasure trove in this digital Valhalla featuring the other side of my mouth. 

And thanks for the 'artist' designation.

Really, the only thing I want to promote is my shitty sounding android non-orchestra centric program music.

I don't want to take 30 hits of acid to get a fuckton of subscribers. 

One of the reasons I don't like groups like the Moral Majority or Fundamentalist Christianity is their attempt to legislate my morals based on their religion, along with their inability to tolerate dissent and free thought in their churches. 

The Satanic Temple seems to have as its goal becoming the Left Wing equivalent of the Southern Baptist Convention. Both are organizations which require you to toe the party line of their respective political idols. 

I don't want Satanism to become a "good" version of Fundamentalist Christianity. I firmly believe that Satanism, as a religion, must be large enough to include people of widely varying opinions and political views. 

How hypocritical it seems to me to establish a Satanic religious organization and then dictate how that organization's members must feel about abortion, COVID-19, "conspiracy theories," and transgender issues. Satanism, to me, must remain the natural home of those who dissent, those who hold to their own views even when "polite society" disagrees. 

I like the fact that TST is active in defending religious freedom and sticking a finger in the eye of Fundies who believe that the USA must have enforced Christian beliefs, but TST stopped speaking for me as a Satanist when they started making Satanism into some kind of preachy Social Justice organization which demands loyalty to whatever the DNC thinks is correct this year and which accuses the CoS of being closet Nazis. 

I'm not going to hang up a poster in my home of some kind of Creed (like the one that the Catholic Church has, of items you are required to believe in order to be in full communion with Magisterium of the the Church) and then work hard every day to make sure that I conform to. 

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the origins, behavior, and treatment of COVID-19. I was astonished to receive an email from TST telling me that the science around COVID was settled and that good Satanists should just "follow the science" and not participate in conspiracy theories. FFS, the entire history of religion is filled with conspiracies. Freethinkers are the heroes who are not afraid of thinking socially-unacceptable or even frightening things in the pursuit of freedom of mind and conscience. Satan is the strongest emblem in the Western world of the power of one person to say no; to say "non serviam." 

Thoughts?

Quote from talisman

What is more hypocritical than trying to imply that Satanism is a "good" version of Fundamentalist Christianity? 

Quote from talisman What best example of a "conspiracy theory". 

Quote from talismanAnd what better proof that you're not a satanist, than considering Satan as an emblem of the western world. 

I never said that Satan is "an emblem of the Western world."

And what knowledge, exactly, is it your opinion that I lack?

And why not a 3rd?

When nomian life is a fugazi of conscripted importance, and the conditions are interchangeable control mechanisms that swing across a western defined artificial line of political slave morality one may look to establish a self-sustaining residence as far from the marionette theater as possible. Or at very least keep an emotional distance from all the above.

I never said that Satan is "an emblem of the Western world."

Really? 

I don't want Satanism to become a "good" version of Fundamentalist Christianity. 

I've never said that Satanism is a "good" version of Fundamentalist Christianity.

Really?

I won't call you an idiot because you might be a foreigner and I know that learning languages isn't an easy task. But you could at the very least try to read the posts more carefully before rushing in with a self-defeating retort that makes you look foolish.
