Sean Patrick Palmer, of Oklahoma, arrested after explosive device found last week near porch of Satanic Temple in Massachusetts

An Oklahoma man was arrested on Thursday morning in last week’s bombing attempt of a Satanic Temple in Massachusetts.

Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was arrested on charges of “using an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce”, the United States’ attorney office for the district of Massachusetts said in a statement.

The Satanic Temple does not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural, but rather uses Satan as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism. It regularly angers rightwingers and Christians.

Just like Jesus would have done...

Jesus only physically attacked one group of people.

Religious capitalists.

"Look, all I'm saying is, until you whip the money lenders down the Temple steps, have you really lived?" - Jesus, probably

Gotta literally weave that whip together yourself first, just to make your point hit home

easier to use an electric stun thingy; way less work.

You mean capitalists using religion as an excuse.
