In other words, she's an atheist putting up a phony Satanic display

To make a point. The best part of the story:


quote:

Martin Diller, a 28-year-old who served two tours in Iraq with the Michigan National Guard and one in Afghanistan, visited the Capitol grounds after attending Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in East Lansing. He said he wanted to see how the constitutional rights issue played itself out.

"A few of my friends in the military, we like to see the First Amendment in use," Diller said. "We all went overseas, we fought for it, it's kind of interesting to see it in action."

church of satan = athetsts, which is what this is about

satanic worship, as in the occult, essentially does not exist (and if you throw out crazy people who claim to speak to satan, it doesn't exist)

Modern Satanism (LeVeyan Satanism, or the Church of Satan) neither worships nor even believes in the existence of Satan, or God for that matter.

quote:

Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshiped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrifice.

-- Peter H. Gilmore, current high priest of the Church of Satan

Yeah.

I'm atheist and I have compassion for views that differ from mine on religion, from satanism, from...........well, the point is, she seems a whole lot more ANTI one particular thing than anything else.

She's kinda in the selective tolerance camp.

Exactly. Another piece of shite promoting something that she doesn't even believe in. Only wanting to antagonize Christians. Can't they believe whatever they want and she could do the same?

Why does she even care? Can't believe that there are so many losers in this country.
