I’ve never seen a Satanist on TV telling me to send them all my money, or tell me to hate someone.
I have seen at least dozens of Christian leaders push hate for profit.
Get on your knees and start paying!
'Cause Jesus, he knows me and he knows I’m right!
He didn’t want Kurt Cobain for a sunbeam, though. That’s a dealbreaker.

All part of the hypocrisy and horse shit surrounding religion these days.
I started playing dnd well after I joined the Satanic temple and I only joined them because they stand up to the alt right when it comes to Healthcare and religious rights.
I’m someone who was raised Christian I’m so against what organized religion has become. It flies in the face of a very teachings it’s supposed to represent.
Always was.
The bible says to worship in your own home, and demonstrating it in public is just an act of showboating.
The very fact their churches even exist demonstrates they do not live their own teachings, let alone the opulent ones proving they’re total hypocrites.
The Bible, unsurprisingly, has contradiction though on the matter on how to worship. I can’t remember where they are but there is one line where people are encouraged to loudly proclaim their faith to god. Then another line stating to keep it in your home and show your love to god in your own way. I only realised that contradiction when I went to a prayer meeting of Pentecosts upon invitation. They were praying and singing loudly. Having been baptised Catholic, I was taught to pray solemnly and quietly so I just held my hands together (I didn’t actually pray as I am actually agnostic long ago). The pastor was bewildered with how I prayed and showed me the passage on the Bible stating to loudly proclaim belief in god, etc.
The Bible is full of contradictions and that’s why you get different denominations and sects who worship the same god, but disagree on the finer details. Not knowing the finer details makes another sect think the other is heretic. Religious folks just pick and choose what they want to believe from contradictory religious texts, and judge others for not following what they think is the correct way.
Yea, it’s almost like it’s actually a terrible book for morals and only those that actually read and comprehend it understand that. It’s archaelogically and anthropologically fascinating, but the dummies NEED to put it down.
I consider myself Christian, I do not believe that the Bible is anything more than the world’s longest recorded game of telephone
If they could read between the lines at all they’d know Jesus wasn’t in favor of organized religion, but rather faith and religion being the way you treated other people.
The very concept of a church as an organization goes against his teachings, and is also ironic in the sense that protestantism is based on the idea that you only need the Bible, not a priest. But reading and understanding it yourself is hard so they just went back to the same model except they’re called “pastors” so that makes it better.
What a joke.
Little do they know, the scriptures have prophesied their downfall…
It’s funny bc my religious parents were the biggest contributors to my becoming an active atheist.
After so many years of trying to explain that atheism is not in any way a “religion”, I just said fuck it. Fine. I’m going with the other guy. Is it easier for you to parse now? I learned it from you! 🤣
Yeah, no. They definitely weren’t 😆
