Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

We historically feared satanism too. Should probably post their commandments “so that the kids know what to watch for”. Right next to the biblical ones.
Satanism is weird. Let’s use The Satanic Temple tenets instead:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
These are the ones to live by
And I think you forgot the following:
VIII
Remember to vote every Christofascist out of your congressional system on Election Day. They are in violation of your Freedom of Religion right.
I love how half of these are just “don’t be fucking annoying”
Much more cringe-worthy than the Bible ones, to be honest.
Oh yea things like, ‘not harming children’ , and ‘do not rape’, are cringe. Good thing, the based Christian bible allows you do those things.
I’m more talking about “your lair”, “the mating signal”, and “destroy him”. Deeply, deeply cringey.
It’s because it’s Satanism and not the Satanic Temple.
Satanism (usually referring to Levayan Satanism) is for libertarian edge-lords. This is the flavor of Satanism the phrase “Do as thou wilt” comes from.
The Satanic Temple is for based secular people (they don’t believe in a literal Satan) who support the separation of church and state, and bodily autonomy, etc. They spend a lot of money on legal tests of issues exactly like this article. Donate to them!
It’s edgy neck beard shit. The whole philosophy is reactionary and shouldnt be taken seriously. Living as an anti- anything is pathetic and cringe.
