Atheism, Satanism and a Liberal city

[Divine Wind]

Currently watching a DEC2015 episode of CNN's "This is life with Lisa Ling" about a one ton Satanic being put up in Detroit. She interviews several Satanic cult members and also self-avowed atheists who became Satanists (yes, really. )

I've watched a few of her shows and all are interesting, albeit some pretty weird such as this one. The link below gives a detailed explanation of the statue symbology.

See? That's the problem with that pesky First Amendment = what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

BTW, atheists don't believe in satan because he's a god and they don't believe in any of the gods. Just saying.

Since Satan, the fallen angel of light, Lucifer, is a supernatural creation of the Highest of all Supernatural beings, Satanist are merely closet Christians. That is they believe the same Mythology.

That may very well be the stupidest fucking post ever made on this forum.

No shit. That's why I was surprised too. OTOH, a lot of those interviewed were really fucked up people.

Incorrect about "closet Christians" since God's creation of Lucifer has nothing to do with Christ nor Christianity. However, it does have a lot to do with Abrahamic religious beliefs.

Yeah, thanks, we all know about free speech. I guess that is why we are exercising it now in protest.

I just wonder if these creepy people concocted a statue/god that considered blacks or gays to be subhuman in some way and that was their religion --- would the city of Detroit or Oklahoma City allow it to be celebrated the way they did with the religion that blasphemes Christians?

I stand corrected. Call them closet poly-super-naturalist then.

Mostly they don't exist. The guys who put up that statue are for the most part anti-theist.

Are you saying they are lying about worshipping Satan and are really closet Atheists?

Wait, who said they were worshiping Satan?

To quote from the group’s website:

The Satanic Temple holds to the basic premise that undue suffering is bad, and that which reduces suffering is good. We do not believe in symbolic “evil.”

Most vitally, though, the group does not “promote a belief in a personal Satan.” By their logic, Satan is an abstraction, or, as Nancy Kaffer wrote forThe Daily Beast last year, “a literary figure, not a deity — he stands for rationality, for skepticism, for speaking truth to power, even at great personal cost.”

You really have no clue but, in fact, in order to believe in satan, one much already believe in god.

Why not just admit you make up your religion as you go along?
