Nothing quite says "Christian" quite like acts of terrorism. Oh, wait, that's exactly what it does.

Thank Satan nobody was hurt

I remember this one commandment that said “thou shalt not kill.” Oh wait, I forgot that Christianity makes exceptions for their enemies.

I mean, the Old Testament is like 80% murder and 5% incest.

The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament is the book where Jesus says, "f those first five books. Turn the other cheek."

The all-powerful creator of mankind and the cosmos apparently can't figure out how to release an update patch for the one book he wrote and get the people who are the most adamant about following his rules to apply it cleanly.

Must have outsourced tech writing to the lowest bidder

Why do they complain, hell is literally on fire..

If you read the article...

Founded in 2013, the Salem, Massachusetts-based Satanic Temple says it doesn’t believe in Satan but describes itself as a “non-theistic religious organization” that advocates for secularism. It is separate from the Church of Satan, which was founded in the 1960s.

Yes, it's surely a lovely place. Secularism, to some extent, is associated with satanism in Christianity, and this temple is literally called satanic temple. If you knew how sects work, you would know they sweaten their image and definitions to sound more appealing to new members. I have never seen Pharmacies claiming to sell apples, therefore I wouldn't be surprised if they actually practiced rituals. Who doesn't fight for their own values disappears into the oblivion. Defend the satanic temple, everybody chooses their side. Adiós

I dunno, bro. Christianity revolves around a ritual of eating a demi-god and drinking its blood. More than a healthy number of the sects of this cult celebrate weekly eating the demi-god's literal skin and the demi-god's literal blood.

That's some weird, sick, sadistic stuff.

And to get more people to join the cult they sweeten their image and tell the people this demi-god's dad really loves them but will put them thru the worst torture imaginable for eternity if they don't believe that the demi-god is in fact its own dad and itself at the same time. And that demi-god-dad-god had such crazy daddy issues it had to commit suicide by cop in order to get its demi-god-dad-god's attention and somehow this is the greatest act of love that ever was or will be.

This loving demi-god-dad-god gives you the "choice" to believe or be tortured eternally. Centuries ago Christians gave athiests and those of other religions the "choice" to believe or be killed.

And you and your friends are so insecure with yourselves and so unbelieveably petrified of the word Satan that even seeing it makes you all lose your minds so bad that the "morality" you take every opportunity to tell everyone else only you possess goes right out the window and you become savages. Savages thirsty for blood, happily detonating explosive objects with intent to brutalize fellow humans into a form no longer recognizable.

Those are some really twisted values you fight for.

I'm a member of the satanic temple, and we/they do not believe in the devil. You are either a troll, or you have been so throughly brainwashed that you can not see the truth in front of your eyes.

Oh so what you’re saying is that you oppose religious freedom? Also that you’re insane.
