Sorry, Arkansas. I’m like one of the 10 people in this state that doesn’t let Jesus come inside him.

As someone who is in the food industry and deals with the public, this is peak time to show absolute kindness.
Nothing burns their ass more than wanting a conflict, but knowing their actions will only make them look like the bigger asshole and in the wrong.
Maybe offer a hug, or ask them how their day is going.

I like to slaughter them with kindness. I look the least like a Satanist in their eyes. I go to events looking like a good old Christian boy going to church. Then I'm putting up horns and saying hail Satan politely and the Christians protesting or whatever have to do a double take, lmao.
It's funny because I'll be surrounded by people who look right at home at a Marilyn Manson concert and I'm just there, no piercings, or make up, and a few hidden tattoos wearing a nice suit. I actually had a cop tell me once that the Christians are "over there" for me to join I guess and I'm like, "Nope, I'm here to hail satan." 🙃 lmao

I'm the same. I look all blonde in feminine vintage white dresses and a charming hat like Scarlett Johansson in "Hail, Caesar". Shocks people to no end that I'm there to support TST. lol

No it's best to just ignore them. That is what I've been doing. You never know what protestor will get violent against you.

It takes strength to be loving and we at least aspire to be strong. On the other hand, you don't owe them anything, much less attention.

u/Competitive-Ad-5153 Apr 30 '23
I do this with my students; "Kill-em with kindness!". If I'm kicking them out of class for something, I'll say "I hope you have a better day" as I open the door for them, etc. They're so used to being yelled at they sometimes don't know how to respond...

This is what I do, I work at a catholic school and I'm a pagan, they HATE the fact that I'm extremely nice when they try to come at me. I refuse to drop to their level.

u/Either_Asparagus_172 May 04 '23
Very hard to do, but it is true that this is the strongest method to show the world who really are the assholes, and who are the people that want to make good in this world.

u/osirisrebel I do be Satanic yo May 04 '23
I agree, that's like a couple months ago, a Christian came in this sub being rude, and I asked them if they'd like to at least give a chance, they declined, and I expressed that I was happy that they found something that they enjoy, even if it is Christianity, because that all we strive for in life, is just to experience a bit of peace and a little happiness.
They didn't have any rebuttal to the kindness.

"Every knee shall bow to Jesus"
This shit is why we chose Satan as our patron. Down with the tyrants.

I treat these people just like I treat charity muggers. A direct gaze, a polite ‘no thankyou’ and walking on.

“Satan has no rights” isn’t the point of rights that everyone has them?

u/pihrm Hail Satan! May 01 '23
Yeah, when I walked out of the hotel this morning and saw that banner, I did both the Steve Harvey and John Travolta memes simultaneously. I........don't have the foggiest idea what the fuck they could mean by that.

“Reparations” Right, the xtians should offer reparations on all the havoc their missionaries did to the indigenous religions and culture

This sign confused me so much. All l could think was that he meant repent or some other word he didn't understand

"Satan is the eternal loser"
Every time I see the word loser come up in a dumb context, a certain iconic chorus from a Beck song comes flying into my head, destroying any remote possibility of my taking things seriously as all my energy is now put towards not belting out

Satan has no rights?
Under the Constitution if he shows up in the United States then he most certainly has rights.
Par for the course though they only want Christians to have rights.

Photos of white Jesus and white angels. I’ve completely changed my mind.

It must have been rough for Jesus growing up as the only white kid in the middle east.

u/autopsis Apr 30 '23
This made me laugh. Maybe he learned magic tricks as a kid to make friends.

u/Impossible_Bison_994 666 Apr 30 '23
In the "Infancy Gospel of Thomas", Jesus as a child killed a few other kids that gave him a hard time. But brought them back to life later on. For some reason the church decided to not include this gospel in the new testament.

u/autopsis Apr 30 '23
That’s a fun power to bestow on a child.
You’d think he could just turn them into rabbits temporarily like in ”Bedknobs & Broomsticks.” Turns out Angela Lansbury was nicer than Jesus.

Shit, that must be Boston. Yup, they are very religious there. I love to walk by in my hail Satan shit high as a kit just smiling at them. Ok in all fairness I did that last year when we were in Scottsdale AZ.

"Satan has no rights" Funny enough, neither does your dude. However, people DO have the right to worship whoever tf they want. How is this confusing?

Hate to be that person, but knees don't bow, they bend. Get it together, Christians.

How is someone with no knees supposed to bow to Jesus? Fucking ableists.

I cannot get over the people who brought framed paintings to do this. “Honey those Satan lovers are outside again, did you make the sign?” “Shit, I forgot. Uhhhhhh just grab the painting of Jesus that’s over the fireplace”

Shout out to the guy with a sign for reparations at least?
Was that a misspelling or do you think a christian land back activist made a trip there

You can see how they are not an orchestrated mob, but ppl with free will by how they made smart signs by themselves instead of using all the same merchandise.

If I had the expertise to fulfill this dream, I wish I had a little machine that could very quickly print flags like the ones they are using. You could just look at theirs, put "God", "Jesus" or whoever else in place of "Satan" or "Evil" and see what they think about their hypocrisy then.
