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!

I mean the tenets really are more like suggestions otherwise more of us Satanic Temple Enjoyers would be vegan according to the first tenet lol

"One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason."

It's the "in accordance with reason" part, it is fair to interpret the consumption of meat as a natural and reasonable thing. I don't eat meat, but I also don't begrudge those that do so without causing undue suffering (such as kosher butchering or sustainably farmed fish)

"Consumption of meat is natural" is a logical fallacy and therefore not reasonable.
