Satanic Temple holds inaugural convention in Scottsdale

At which they failed, leaving the US to establish its economic base on chattel slavery while wittering about liberty.
You act like no one was fighting against slavery in America. That could not be further from the truth. Opposition existed from day one and continued until it led to a civil war and after. Your ignorance of history is astounding.
 
The Democratically controlled SCOTUS thought so. Of course they also ruled that slaves were property to be disposed of at the will of its owner.
So if the founding document was deemed to approve of chattel slavery, the rallying cry of Liberty! rings somewhat hollow.

It's amazing how blind Americans are to this.

Again that was addressed already....

I'm acting like the founding documents of America enabled chattel slavery and many Americans pretend those documents were all about Liberty!

Of course they have to believe the propaganda they've been fed or their positions become untenable.

And ignoring that it was an inherited problem that the founding fathers could not end and found the nation but made plans for it's demise. Good Lord, the Vice President of the Confederate States admitted that.

“Corner Stone” Speech, Alexander H. Stephens, Savannah, Georgia, March 21, 1861
"The prevailing ideas entertained by him [Thomas Jefferson] and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature – that it was wrong in principle – socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent [temporary] and pass away. " Alexander Stephens

It's like encoding and enabling chattel slavery is striking a blow for Liberty!
I suspect it is more like you are ignorant of history.

Daniel Webster testifies to the fact that the Founding Fathers intended for slavery to perish.

Daniel Webster, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION, March 7, 1850, (In the Senate)

"And now, let us consider, sir, for a moment, what was the state of sentiment, North and South, in regard to slavery at the time this Constitution was adopted. A remarkable change has taken place since, but what did the wise and great men of all parts of the country then think of slavery? In what estimation did they hold it in 1787, when this Constitution was adopted? Now it will be found, sir, if we will carry ourselves by historical research back to that day, and ascertain men's opinions by authentic records still existing among us, that there was no great diversity of opinion between the North and the South upon the subject of slavery; and it will be found that both parts of the country held it equally an evil, a moral and political evil. It will not be found, that either at the North or at the South, there was though there was some, invective against slavery as inhuman and cruel. The great ground of objection to it was political; that it weakened the social fabric; that, taking the place of free labor, society was less strong, and labor was less productive; and, therefore, we find, from all the eminent men of the time, the clearest expression of their opinion that slavery was an evil. They ascribed its existence here, not without truth, and not without some acerbity of temper and force of language, to the injurious policy of the mother country, who, to favor the navigator, had entailed these evils upon the colonies. I need hardly refer, sir, to the publications of the day. They are matters of history on the record. The eminent men, the most eminent men, and nearly all the conspicuous politicians of the South, held the same sentiments, that slavery was an "evil," a "blight," a "blast," a "mildew," a "scourge," and a "curse." There are no terms of reprobation of slavery so vehement in the North at that day as in the South. The North was not so much excited against it as the South, and the reason is, I suppose, that there was much less at the North; and the people did not see, or think they saw, the evils so prominently as they were seen, or thought to be seen, at the South. Then, sir, when this Constitution was framed, this was the light in which the convention viewed it..."

"...there was an expectation that on the ceasing of the importation of slaves from Africa, slavery would begin to run out. That was hoped and expected."

So why this bullshit about America's primary value being Liberty! when it's completely apparent its founders were quite willing to compromise expediently and follow the will of the majority? Which supported chattel slavery.
 
Daniel Webster testifies to the fact that the Founding Fathers intended for slavery to perish.
But enabled it and encoded it into the Constitution. With a completely predictable result. As though politicians double talking was unknown.
 
What was more important to the founders was breaking the treaties with the Indian tribes the British had struck in order to expand into their lands. Many/some of the founders coincidently being surveyors and land speculators.

Oh the patriotism.
 
I would say that religion is what created the satanic temple. In religion they need an opposite. And for the Christians, they got their opposite in a Satanic temple. My question would be is anyone being hurt in that Satanic temple? WE already know people get hurt by the Christian religion that hold people down to a single belief system.

Seriously? That's been addressed already.

Slavery was a British institution that our country inherited and the founding fathers did their best to untangle it.

They could not found the nation and end slavery at the same time. So they did the best they could in writing the constitution to not recognize it, negotiated an end of importation date and wrote laws halting further expansion.

Actually the word slavery or slave is not written in the Constitution on purpose. The constitution has been recognized as an anti-slavery document by everyone but you.

Why don't you provide some links that back up your position?
 
Its a good group that does good things. They value liberty over anything.
And no, they dont believe in an actual satan.
Satan's best trick is to convince people he doesn't exist...

he gets a lot of people into Hell with that lie
