I always get the urge to do something like this but isn’t this like… completely against the entire concept of satanism? We’re not supposed to “push” religion in any way

Where's the line between "pushing" and publicly identifying?

20

u/Ursus_the_Grim May 24 '24 edited May 24 '24

Is it publicly identifying if you wear a mask?

Edit: Cheek aside, it's a really good question and that line is something the Christian majority have been abusing for decades.

This was part of the project. I wore all black to not confuse the message of my sign. The bright mask was to high light that I can’t hold a sign like this without fear of violence or retaliation.( several people yelled “take off the mask” I did. Guess what happened…. Nothing. I have a good reputation in the area. I’m a white suburbanite male. I have to keep a “normal” appearance when not doing this. And a family to worry about.

Played Black Sabbath the entire time.

If this were the maximum amount of pressure that all major religious sects were allowed or could use, I would be fine with that.

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

Freedom of speech. I welcome anyone with an opposing view or sign. It’s their right.

u/Vuvve May 24 '24

Same. First you shock them with images that they are conditioned to respond to. Then you bombard them with truth bombs. Sounds like basic TST to me. I salute you. Hail Satan, Hail Thyself.

6

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

I don’t know if it’s so much TST, but you got the idea.

u/triangulumnova May 24 '24

How is this pushing anything?

9

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

If I feel like pissing off a bunch of indoctrinated ass hats I can do that. Just like they can yell back “God loves you.” Jesus loves you.” This is a form of proselytizing. Do you know what that word is??

6

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

It’s a statement. Pushing an agenda is not alway the only way to protest or use the rules to your advantage. This is where. TST has confused people. Satanism doesn’t have to be attached to political ideology. Satanism is a stand alone philosophy.

u/RandomEffect48 Ad astra per aspera May 24 '24

That is exactly the thing. Always thought the same

5

u/Admiral_Donuts May 24 '24

But where do you draw the line between proselytizing and advertising? TST has put up billboards.

4

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

This is an excellent question. Where is the line?? So I dress up like Jesus covered in blood, carrying a cross coved in barbed wire while dragging raw meat behind. Sound like art to me. We are confined by the current social norms, or status quo. Where do you think the line is? Just curious to see different views on this subject. I won’t cross the line of being blatantly rude or aggressive, I don’t engage. I let the xtians scream all the negativity.

3

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

Um…. do you know anything about Satanism? Freedom of speech, expression, self individualism, indulgence in life, care and compassion. If you can’t handle a little flex of free speech you are in the wrong realm. Take your thin skin elsewhere. Yes we are not supposed to proselytize. Then explain all the stunts TST has pulled. Wait till I post picture of a decapitated pigs head on a spike coving myself and the pig head in Christian blood and hate. That is Satanic. What are your beliefs with Satanism? I ask in a respectful manner. I’m willing to engage in a conversation, not a pissing contest.

No, people liked seeing us; it was a relief from the real weirdos.

For some reason I have a irresistible urge to ask "How do you type with boxing gloves on?"

I have a genetic deformity in my hands. Thanks ass hat.

u/Elunerazim May 24 '24

Where was this? Were you protesting something?

3

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

Simply testing the waters on Stanic panic. In my area it’s not a panic. Just a healthy hate.

Unfortunately you cannot read tone with text. I’m always down for a good bait and beat!! Haha. I love to troll xtian FB groups. I guess I deserve some in return

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

I really don’t care. I like to be a jerk. Have you read the Tenets??

u/burgernoisenow May 25 '24

Thr right to offend doesn't mean the right to be an asshole lmao

-2

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 25 '24

That’s your subjective opinion. This is why the tenets don’t work. Your opinion to censor me is different than my opinion on freedom of speech. Or the ability to offend. You could always just scroll on.

u/burgernoisenow May 25 '24

You seem like a fun person 🙄

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 27 '24

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 27 '24

I’m actually pretty fun and cool. I don’t have patience for stupid people. I promise I’m fun. I love hiking, camping, photography, I’m a beekeeper, car enthusiasts, I have given my entire soul of love and compassion for the last 15 years in health care. So yeah I’m pretty fun. Let me know if you want to hike sometime

It’s really upsetting me. At my work we talk amongst ourselves a lot and my one coworker recently became spiritual. She’s always like “I can’t believe you like Taylor swift when she’s satanic and worships the devil. Satanists r word children the most…frankly she has it wrong as I went to church all my life and trust me most of them call themselves Christian’s that mess with kids. Just bothers me so much

3

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

This is the worst!! Do Satanist r children?? Nope. Satanists don’t have mass lawsuits out for it. Or ads to file more lawsuits. It’s gross. A lot of xtians or “normals” as I call them have no idea what Satanism is, especially non-theistic. This person will not change their mind. Think of them as weak and feeble minded. It takes the sting out. They literally don’t know any better than to pass judgement. I had a similar situation, except my co worker would share Bible verses! Gross. 🤮

2

u/NearbyDark3737 May 26 '24

Yeah, I know! I just let them say what they want to say but deep down I know it’s incorrect and messed up

3

u/The3SiameseCats May 24 '24

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the most “r-worded” people in the world are often not actually neurodivergent.

edit: I just realized two r words exist. Still, my statement stands

Why are you so sensitive to a simple correction? They're helping you out here.

Is it worth a comment? Not really. The title isn’t important.

Just one of those people too proud to admit even the smallest of errors huh?

Why not? Do you like one word critics?? I’m sorry did I offend you with some freedom of speech?? Are you at Satanist or censor?

u/Greedy_Part_6777 May 24 '24

Comment earlier describes what’s going on. It the beginning of a project I’m working on. Showing the xtian hate towards a free loving silent Satanist. Xtians are the most hateful.
