Goddamn. Am I a Satanist?

Does "Satanism" just mean "whatever the opposite of current Christianity as it is practiced is?"

Because guys I think I might be a Satanist

I don't know if any reasonable Christian would disagree with the things on that list.

I guess calling it satanism, rather than humanism or whatever is shocking and edgy though.

You and I are talking to different Christians.

Are you kiddin' me? Facts first? Ideology second? Christians aren't about that.

Well I said reasonable Christians.

But I mean I don't usually keep track of how many Christians I talk to because there are so many of them.

From their FAQ:
A unifying attribute of all satanists is our embrace of our outsider status. In addition, satanists adhere to the principles of individual sovereignty and rejection of tyrannical authority. These concerns are of paramount importance to us, but are not fundamental components of Humanism.

More at the FAQ, if you're still thinking it's just "edginess". Satan is an important cultural symbol with a lot of meaning.

Moreover, religion is often a protected class. So, since calling yourself a humanist won't entitle you to court protection or rulings in your favour (see below, or this cute example), it's strategically sound to use religion instead, because when Christians scream about their religious freedoms, it allows Satanists to do the same and expose their hypocrisy.

That lady gets it. For example, the Satanic Temple has been doing activism for women's reproductive rights, such as improving access to abortion in Missouri. :)

Trump's court appointees are going to be one of the most long-lasting consequences of his time in office. They'll be with us for decades, no matter what Mueller produces, no matter what happens in 2018 & 2020.
 
Well, I already follow Church of Satan on Twitter and I think Satan himself is more trustworthy and moralistic than Trump, so I know which side of the fence I fall on.
 
I cant stand anything Trump, I'm in no ways extreme, and see Transgender children as a place where so called progressive people have just lost their minds. allowing 4-5 year olds to pick their gender is utterly ridiculous to me

What would Satan's grand plan even be here? Are we going to homosexually trans a rift in reality?

Not only is that not how it works, you're incredibly dismissive of a large issue.

This is in the same reductive realm as saying that gay people choose to be gay.

It's NEVER quite so simple, even though some people want it to be so they can easily explain it away.

I'm not religious, but it sounds like you need Satan.
 
Came in to read about what I thought was a SCOTUS nominee, but is instead of federal judge. Ok that's different.

I did not intend on finding a bunch of edgelords celebrating satanism.

Maybe the world really does deserve #45.

I think what you're trying to say is that people shouldn't be allowed to go through hormonal sex change therapy until they reach adulthood, i.e. 18. I agree wholeheartedly.
 
To answer the last few posts, yes when you're an adult whatever you choose is on you. God doesn't take a persons choice. I don't think I'm being dismissive of any larger issue. I think parents are being manipulative and brainwashing their children. Not even allowing their brains to mature. You cant see a child playing with dolls and decide they want to be a girl. The many story's of children getting older and asking their parents why did you do this to me aren't ever highlighted. I know a person that parents tried to steer him into becoming a woman, very confused person.,

As for the person saying I need satan, nope not at all, as I said I don't like Trump.

Sorry just not into the new age nonsense.

You are utterly ridiculous. You're talking as if you're an authority on something you don't understand. What the actual fuck.

Sure, my parents brainwashed me in this direction. Sure, I've been suffering from dysphoria since puberty because my parents raised me wrong and tried to manipulate me. And sure, I also made a choice to willingly suffer through all the emotional turmoil that comes with gender dysphoria.

But sure, it's just new-age nonsense.

I understand being ignorant of what some people go through, but you're just oppressive and utterly damaging.

First of all, its not a choice, stop saying it is.

We know that gender identity is pretty solid around the ages of 5 - 7. I and lots of other trans people have known from a really early age who we are despite our parents hating us for being trans. They certainly didn't manipulate us to be this way just so they have a reason to not like us. And I really don't appreciate someone calling my life "new age nonsense"

I always remember fondly the part from the book Good Omens where the devil Rampa wake up during inquisition and go back to sleep after sending a note to Hell saying they had much to learn from humans...

II'm the only one who is allowed to use the word ridiculous. Why are you so angry, please understand that I do want you as a fan. .
I think anyone with a bit of sense could see I was talking about cases where its pushed on the person, manipulated which happens a lot. And I was in the matter mostly talking about children. I'm even sure some parents think they are doing right, I think we fail transgender people in a lot of ways, mental health, employment and acceptance wise at times. I'm just in totally disagreement over this transgenders as children, because I think that's more of an adult issue than a children one and adults are failing miserably. because of bad information and wanting to seem progressive. If that makes me a bad person I'm good.

Except it doesn't.

It's also not an adult issue. I suffered just as much as a child as I do now- but you don't particularly seem to care about this. You want to protect the 'innocence' of children by sticking to some ridiculous delusion about how manipulative parents are.
 
....Who are these parents who tricks their children into being LGBT o_0? Like, is there ever an actual case outside of that one South Park episode?
 
Satan wants the world to be in chaos and for that to happen things need to change.

God want peace and for things to stay exactly the same, stop rocking his boat.

Trust me, I know exactly what both of them thinks.

Lmao. Apparently this judicial pick seems to think he knows what they both think. People make me sick sometimes :/.

I sincerely hope that you are never, at any point, in a position where you can make decisions for another human being. This is so paranoid, delusional, and harmful.

Sadly, I believe it's most of America. They don't want to be informed. That poster was even linked to an article with scientific research and it was ignored and they continued to go on about how it's parents warping a child's mind to make them something that they are not.

10-15 years ago that poster would have been talking about how parents must be putting their boys in dresses and letting them get emotional and cry and play with dolls and that's why they turn out gay.

Different time, same old ignorant bigotry.

Just an anecdote, my Sister's friend has a daughter, she was 8. She felt like there was something wrong with her she didn't fit in. They took her to psychologists because she was depressed. They couldn't figure it out, they were worried she might kill herself at times. It turned out she had gender dsyphoria. Her parents had no clue about any of it and at first they thought it was all crazy. They were probably just as ignorant as the above poster about it all. Once they started to let her go in the direction she wanted to go, she was so much happier. He's Jack now, has friends, and hasn't been sad in a while now. He's 12 now.
