Satanic Temple’s ‘SatanCon’ in Boston set to be ‘largest satanic gathering in history’

The first annual SatanCon was held in Scottsdale last year , according to one of Satan's minions the Satanic Temple is more about religious freedom than it is the Big Dude with the horns.


And remember , history is written by the victor , can anybody say that Good has triumphed against Evil in the last 2,000 years ?

Atheism is not only about not believing in a god but also about not being in an organized religion, which LaVeyan Satanism clearly is.

No it's not.

Atheism/Atheist means one thing only.

Lack of belief in a god.

Not "no belief or anti-God" -- but lack of belief.

In otherwards open to God being proven. Your turn.

I am surprised ATS is not all over this given a former AMA was with Colonel Michael Aquino and I am pretty sure even with dementia that Scottsdale is where one of the former owners of ATS lived , could have got smuggled into there in the trunk of a car /hearse pull of a Alex Jones live from Bohemian grove interview. Much more fun running threw the woods buck naked jumping through camp fires

Hail Santa

The Satanic Temple is atheist.

Therefore, they do not believe in Satan. As you can only believe in Satan if you believe in God.

They just use a fun approach, kind of a parody, as an attention getter.

It's more about humanism and equal rights.

Why is anyone religious allowed to call Satanists sick and demented?
Yes, there are always those in every group who take it too far.
In every group or belief.
Enough nutters in abrahamic religions, from old men sucking babies nether regions, to people killing their own children because they think they are possessed by demons.

So yeah, we get the odd nutter who thinks Satanism is killing things and constantly doing nasty stuff.
Oh man, if you think that, I know that you know nothing.

I am also an atheist Satanist. It's not an oximoron. I literally support the just underdog in the bible.
Like I love Star Trek characters.

Ido however think that there were beings or humans who wanted freedom for us from the oppressive religions.
They are always painted as the bad ones.

Just like people are slandered nowadays for trying to tell the truth.

I do not follow Anton LeVey because he can do whatever he likes and I can do whatever I want. Satanism, like Witchcraft doesn't need herding.

Having said that, I am happy to see where likeminded people can gather and enjoy each other's company.

Most of those there will be very nice people, however the nutters exist and if you know so little as to judge us by the lowest denominator, know that your belief is not immune to these eejits.

Personally I judge people by their likeability, and behaviour.
Hence I never say all religious folk are nutters.

Shows the difference between me and some here who think they are better, because they have a sky daddy.

First -- the Satanic Temple is atheist -- they do not believe in Satan.

However, there are over 3000 Christian sects.

There are also many types of Satanism.

I didn't know anything about these guys and I didn't think detroitcatholic was going to be a good source for info on them. So I went directly to their website:

thesatanictemple.com...

The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits.

There are Seven FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

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.

So weird, their mission and Tenets almost sound.......Christian like. What are they thinking????? I must be confused. Such righteous and logical ideals don't fit satan at all.

Satan, also known as the Devil, and sometimes also called Lucifer in Christianity, is an entity in the Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin...

An exorcist once told me that you won't hear from the real ones; they keep to the shadows.
A detective who investigated cult-related crimes pretty much told me the same thing.

and "Re-imagining Lilith as an Archetype for Reproductive Justice

This right here. This is what they are up to. They want Lilith back in ops. And they will succeed.
This will be bad...
This will be the start of the end. They are trying to bring back a power that hasn't walked this earth in ions.
This may seem like a funny joke with no power.
As a man of God I can tell you that there is power in this. Only it's a weak power that will eventually crumble. But will destroy everything it can on its way down.

This will be bad.

Literally just a troll community pointing out that freedom of religion isn't only for Christians.

a reply to: randomuser

Ok there are a lot of misconceptions here as to what atheism is. Some people are even mistakenly calling it a religion itself. I'll make this a simple exercise:

When was LaVeyan Satanism founded? I'll answer it, it was founded in 1966.

When was Scientology founded? It was founded in 1954.

When was Islam founded? In the year 610.

When was Christianity founded? 2 millennia ago.

Can you see a pattern here? Religions have to be thought up and founded and have a start date. When was atheism founded?

Atheism wasn't founded. Atheism is an absence of religion. Atheism existed before a first God was ever thought up.

Being an atheist means having NO religion.

We're currently facing Nuclear Armageddon how bad could it be.

Is the local john brown gun club, Socialist rifle club of America doing security again? I believe they were present and participated at the Arizona event.
They even made one of the members a Priest. lol

a reply to: gortex

Sure, religious freedom, everyone says that except maybe Muslims and Scientologists.

a reply to: Mahogany

But it still takes faith like every other religion because it's based on a premise you can't prove - complete absence of deity.

I support their freedom of religion as much as I practice mine. I'd be a hypocrite if I tried to stop this or say it's "wrong." I have an opinion, but support their freedom.
Unfortunately that "freedom" (communing with demons) can cause a whole lotta troubles for all of us.

I ain't skerd. I'm actually ready. I say, Bring it. 💪😎👍

And . . . . ?

When I finally stepped completely out of the "God Circle" -- I had an epiphany.

I was in charge. Everything I did good or bad was on me. No "go to guy" to say I was sorry.

Responsibility of Life -- became very real that day.

a reply to: Annee

I see nothing that differs from my day to day as a Christian. My mistakes are still and always have been, my own.

So? I am sorry it took a loss of God to get you take responsibility for yourself.

I agree here, Annee. We are all responsible for ourselves and our own actions. Even the words we speak will come back on us, be it good, or bad. This is in our reality. Consequences are real. We choose everything completely on our own. Some call this karma. Some simply call it, balance, ying and yang. Some call it judgement. No matter what angle we look from, we can all see that there are consequences for the choices we make. We all know that what may seem pleasant, comforting and appealing, can very soon turn into something terrible. I know this from relationships. I see a beautiful girl, saying all the right things, smokin bod, likes me, and I'm dunzo. I could easily fall into a terrible trap, if the snare were presented to me in that '"form." I'm speaking metaphorically, but I hope you see what I'm saying. We all know these things through our own reality/experiences.

In my beliefs, I believe, yes, that we will all have some form of judgement. We choose today what our future will hold. Free will is a gift to all and for all. Anyone who tries to take away your "free-will" is not your ally.
