The Satanic Temple

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

The 7 Tenets are strong against right wing hate.
Imagine if doofus had fucked up a nativity scene. His ass would have been tazed several times, he'd be beaten, and the fundies would stop poking holes in wrapped condoms for half a second to be up in arms.
You could improve this by comparing it to someone beheading a statue of Jesus at the state capitol. I don't know if that has happened, but it would be more likely to elicit the response you describe.
Nativity scenes get messed with all the time. I see no reason to jump to such extreme conclusions unless youve got a scenario where this actually happened.
Edit: This is the same thing as Christians inventing persecution basically. I don’t want fellow secularists denying reality to invent unreasonable scenarios where they’re the victim.
Shhh, you're outside the groupthink, lemmy doesn't like that.
Tee-hee! Us few are enlightened enough to recognise the groupthink! I think I shall leave a slightly snarky commenting highlighting how intelligent we are, and how like sheep the other thickos are!
May I chortle along?
“Chortle” is a word that should be used more often.
Only if you're part of the group who, as a group, don't agree with the groupthink. That is, the group that define themselves in opposition to groupthink. Those with completely independent views to the group. That group.
