space-finally:girlfriendluvr:biscuit-tornado:this is why it’s important to know the difference between the satanic temple, the church of satan, and actual satanic organizations! they may sound similar, but they are COMPLETELY different in pretty much every imaginable way.the satanic temple:not actually a religious organizationdoes not actually practice satanism or believe in satanfounded with the express purpose of using the first amendment / right to religious freedom as a loophole to gain more civil rights for the marginalized, as shown in the above imagesa social justice activist organizationchurch of satan:a semi-religious organizationdoes not actually believe in satanbasically just a club for weirdo libertarians who like magic and think liking blue cheese dressing makes you gay^ above diagram courtesy of the satanic temple ^actual satanist organizations:there are several and they’re all relatively very small. the only LARGE group of people who believe in a literal satan are christians!many are literally cults, where in a similar fashion to mormonism, children born into families that are a part of these organizations are raised in a psychologically (and often physically) abusive environment.many are neo-nazi / white supremacist organizations, such as the order of nine angels.they do not practice human sacrifice or any of that sensasionalist stuff. the forms of evil here are cult abuse and white supremacy. they are pretty much exactly like any other christian-based cult (such as mormons), because that’s what they are. christian-based cults.most “good” satanists are individuals not part of any organization. actual theistic satanism is mainly just a thin veil covering cult abuse or white supremacy.wait the blue cheese thing is actually a thing? -- source link
