    I’ve never seen a Satanist on TV telling me to send them all my money, or tell me to hate someone.

    I have seen at least dozens of Christian leaders push hate for profit.

    I started playing dnd well after I joined the Satanic temple and I only joined them because they stand up to the alt right when it comes to Healthcare and religious rights.

      I’m someone who was raised Christian I’m so against what organized religion has become. It flies in the face of a very teachings it’s supposed to represent.

        The bible says to worship in your own home, and demonstrating it in public is just an act of showboating.

        The very fact their churches even exist demonstrates they do not live their own teachings, let alone the opulent ones proving they’re total hypocrites.

            Yea, it’s almost like it’s actually a terrible book for morals and only those that actually read and comprehend it understand that. It’s archaelogically and anthropologically fascinating, but the dummies NEED to put it down.

            I consider myself Christian, I do not believe that the Bible is anything more than the world’s longest recorded game of telephone

          If they could read between the lines at all they’d know Jesus wasn’t in favor of organized religion, but rather faith and religion being the way you treated other people.

          The very concept of a church as an organization goes against his teachings, and is also ironic in the sense that protestantism is based on the idea that you only need the Bible, not a priest. But reading and understanding it yourself is hard so they just went back to the same model except they’re called “pastors” so that makes it better.

          What a joke.

    After so many years of trying to explain that atheism is not in any way a “religion”, I just said fuck it. Fine. I’m going with the other guy. Is it easier for you to parse now? I learned it from you! 🤣
