frick with the bull and you get the (other kind of) horns

The Satanic Temple has announced that it will provide pamphlets on Satanism to students in Orange County, Florida, in response to a school board decision that allows for religious materials to be disseminated in public schools.

quote:

Among the materials to be distributed are pamphlets on the Satanic Temple’s tenets, philosophy and practice of Satanism, as well as information about the legal right to practice Satanism in school, the group said in a press release.

The move comes after the Orange County school system decided earlier this month to allow Bibles, as well as atheist materials, to be distributed at public schools.



take that, kind sir!

And this is why you have separation of church and state. It is for the protection of both the state and religion.

Satanists? they're typically rationalists and hedonists. Levay just used "Satanism" to be an attention whore and seem edgy to get followers

ironically, i bet they lose out on a lot of following today b/c of the name. the connotation is horrible, but the philosophy isn't too bad

Interesting. These are their rules. Most are pretty good

quote:

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

satanism isn't that bad. seriously

it's just got a scary name

people associate "satanism" with the occult/satanic worship (which doesn't really exist in any organized fashion)

Satan has killed less people than God.

Dude gets a bad rap.
