Satanic Temple Wins IRS Rccognition as a Tax Exempt Church

[ding]

Satan is as legitimate as any other religion

If that were true wouldn’t you expect to see people doing evil for evil’s sake?

God did worse things in the Bible than Satan did

God killed all the creatures in a flood, God killed the first born of Egypt, Tortured Job

Satan just tempted people

You don’t have to even use the Bible. You could just as well argue that God made it so every living thing dies.

Why do you read the Bible literally anyway? Are your beliefs so weak that you need to build straw-men to knock down?

You're displaying some of God's evil.

Maybe it's a warning. You seem intent on logically proving God created evil.

God created heat. He didn't have to create cold as it is the absence of heat. God created light. He didn't have to create dark as it is the absence of light. Got created good. He didn't have to create evil as it is the absence of good. The opposite has to exist as one cannot exist without the other. Remember everything in this world happens via heat transfer.

God made the absence of heat cold. Deal with it.

You do not understand science and thermodynamics. Deal with that haha.

God created existence ~14 billion years ago. Stop reading Genesis literally.

Long time wasn't required by God even though he is timeless. That comes in the next life. What happens if a believer believes that which is wrong? They could end up getting lost. Some of the most heated discussions I've heard was brother against brother. The general policy for Protestants was to go by God's word. Not human interpretation since false teachers were placed in the church. Pope Francis said long time was okay in not so many words.

So it just looks like the universe was created 14 billion years ago?

Only to those who believe in fake science. Otherwise, you would be able to explain infinite temperature and infinite density at singularity caused it all and is causing it all all over the place.

Satanic Temple Wins Official IRS Recognition As Tax-Exempt Church

As announced by Church leaders:

We are pleased to announce that for the first time in history, a satanic organization has been recognized by the United States federal government as being a church. The Satanic Temple recently received notice from the IRS affirming our status. This acknowledgement will help make sure the Satanic Temple has the same access to public spaces as other religious organizations, affirm our standing in court when battling religious discrimination and enable us to apply for faith-based government grants.

It's a great day for religious freedom in America!

In a statement, Lucien Greaves, co-founder The Satanic Temple, explains why the group sought out tax-exempt status:

In light of theocratic assaults upon the Separation of Church and State in the legislative effort to establish a codified place of privilege for one religious viewpoint, we feel that accepting religious tax exemption — rather than renouncing in protest — can help us to better assert our claims to equal access and exemption while laying to rest any suspicion that we don’t meet the qualifications of a true religious organization. Satanism is here to stay.

And by the way, before anyone has apoplexy, they do not believe in of worship Satan

For the record, the Satanic Temple does not promote the worship of Satan, or any other imaginary deity. Instead, the group utilizes satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state.

The Satanic Temple is a faith community that describes itself as facilitating “the communication and mobilization of politically aware Satanists, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty.”

You pederast, cocksucking, satan-worshipping piece of shit! Do you have any redeeming values whatsoever?

Explain to me why George Washington wouldn't cut your faggot satanist head off with an axe. You would have been hanged, lickety split.

Right. There’s no such thing as cold. Cold only exists as the absence of heat. Same thing for evil. Evil exists as the absence of good. Just like the Bible says.

God killed all the creatures in a flood,

a fallacy by all three desert religions making them collectively responsible for the continued degradation of Garden Earth they enshrined by their false writings and the consequences since that time to the present day they continue to foster.

Just another religion to help people get through life.
Why can't they use alcohol like proper grown-ups?

You continue your straw man fallacy, so you are wrong and have failed once again. It shows your lack of basic thinking processes and have rendered yourself a bore. I wouldn't bring up such topics at a party if I were you, Taz.

It cannot be a fallacy because today's population matches the growth of people living ~4400 years since being wiped out by Noah's Flood. More evidence for God.

The second sentence is a bit weak. Satan is the father of lies and deception. Satan was the first liar. He is "god of the world and the prince of the power of the air." He's lied and tricked many people since then into believing your first sentence. Look at God's objective moral values. The first commandment states, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” Exodus 20:2-3. The people in the OT worshiped other gods to suit their immoral ways similar to Hollywood values today.

Thus, Satan tricked the members of TST into serving him. They deliberately violate the first commandment which means trouble for our society.

Science does not back up any of the bibles. Your belief that the bibles are science texts is naive and foolish.

Actually, in the genesis fable, your gawds are the liars. Satan told the truth.
