Perverts, aka Satanists, want to be considered a valid religion. DeSantis says No

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Just look at the Middle East.

You’re doomed from birth due to religion and their gods control.

We have Americans here trying to do that.

I detest all religions.

As all are human made for society control.

Look at all of the irresponsibility of people and the costs associated with it that the taxpayer is on the hook for without religion.

How would religion help since it add to cost just on child birth or not.

Idiot

not all gods are omniscient

It would be odd if a satanist believed themselves to be a god when they dont believe in god(s).

Buddhism is a religion. There is no God or Gods in Buddhism.

Maybe not in the sense that Christians believe in God but they have dieties as part of their religion.

DeSantis pledges support for devil statue decapitator, says govt should not recognize Satanism as 'religion'

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said the Satanic Temple shouldn't be recognized as a religion by the United States government.

Again, I have not finished this, but will soon. I thought others here would be interested.

Yeh, those wacky religions... All of them should be equally respected along with the ones that respect human life!

FREEDOM!

We have to accept every damn perverse thing one can think to do, including worshipping Satan! Where's that in the US Constitution?

Our nation was founded on CHRISTIAN (Judeo-Christian) principles.

I say to the Satanists: Go somewhere else... although I really want them to just go... uh... where they ultimately belong


from the site:

"Satan has no place in our society [LOL] and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government," DeSantis tweeted. "I'll chip in to contribute to this veteran's legal defense fund."

Me

Good for him! It's about time politicians stood up to this insanity!

well, actually, it is past time...

The government has no business defining what constitutes valid religions.

Is DeSantis being Captain Obvious now?

Of course he is saying it how it is...

C'mon now DeSantis.....we know that....

satanists are shit.

It kind of has to as religious institutions are tax exempt. If there wasnt some sort of criteria then no taxes would ever get paid.

Yes, religious institutions are tax exempt. But religious institutions are not exempted based on the government deciding that the religion is worth while.

Satanists don't believe in God(s) in the same sense Christians do. But they are their own God and it is part of their religion.

Not according to their website or the Satanic Bible (which I have read). They do not believe in a god or gods. They worship the self.

Right. They see their own nature as God, in the same way Buddhists have Gods.

it's deciding whether or not it's an actual (valid) religion though.

Those people are sick.

Exactly what this depraved Obiden Administrations wants.

That's my point. The government does not pick and choose what is a valid religion. Nor should it.

No they litterally dont believe that there is any type of superior/supreme being. They are atheists.

• DO YOU WORSHIP SATAN?
  
• No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. The Satanic Temple believes that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Satanists should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world — never the reverse.

Except that it does. It doesnt grant every group that applies for tax exempt status as a religious institution that status. Thus it's picking and choosing. The only way it could stop doing that is to eliminate that status.

Christians of all sects take communion, mass, sacrament, holy eucharist, the memory of the blood and body of Christ. The Catholics think they are eating God.
