The #Christofascist scumbag who destroyed the #Satanist statue in the state capitol is claiming that #Iowa is discriminating against him for his #Christian beliefs because the judge in his case refused to dismiss the #hatecrime charge against him. Yes, Iowa is discriminating against a Christian because of his Christian beliefs. If you believe that, I've got a golden calf I'd like to sell you.
"We are going to put Satanic chaplains in Florida schools, nothing in the bill places limits on who can become a chaplain, and Ron DeSantis can not simply amend the Constitution limiting the religious liberty of some by proclamation from the podium. "
However, despite everyone from the Associated Press to Cosmopolitan to Cory Doctorow, etc., telling you how novel and exciting the Temple’s litigation is while it’s ongoing, as usual you can expect the follow-up on TST’s failures to be nil.
#TST started two new lawsuits in in the most recent year, but the #SatanicTemple lost eight existing cases and seem to have completely abandoned two others.
The website for the polititian that destroyed the TST Religious Statue Display in Iowa said...
"Mandatory minimums for mob destruction of statues, infrastructure, and houses of worship - automatic 10 years in jail plus the cost of repair"
Those peaceful #Christians intentionally destroyed a #holiday display by #TheSatanicTemple in the #Iowa State Capitol. Just imagine how these same people would react if #Satanists had trashed a #Christmas display. It would be wall-to-wall emergency coverage on #FoxNews, and Y'all Qaeda would get in their trucks and gather under the town Christmas tree for public acts of outrage. The #FirstAmendment protects us all, not just Christians.
As we expected and forewarned, #TST's sloppy challenge to #Indiana's #abortion ban — #TheSatanicTemple v. #Rokita (1:22-cv-01859) — has ended in an early failure for the Temple with a complete dismissal without leave to amend
While we talk about #TheSatanicTemple a lot, there’s the obvious reasons (the #SatanicTemple is still suing us) and the less obvious reasons (#TST is actively dangerous).
But in a world with literal Nazis active and ascendant, it’s worth explaining for others why the latter is true and this attention is warranted.
To begin, while #Nazis and other #fascists are clearly a much greater threat in themselves, liberals and especially leftists are not regularly propping up fascist organizations.
With #TheSatanicTemple, many otherwise decent people are wasting resources and energy propping up TST to no discernible benefit — at least to anyone else beside the two men who literally own it.
The Global Order of Satan wish to congratulate the members of the former TST UK chapter on their recent decision to disaffiliate from The Satanic Temple. We know from experience such conclusions are not easily reached. It takes fearless introspection to discard dearly held loyalties, and your immediate reward is likely to be...
lots of things about the past two a half years have been terrible, physically, emotionally, and esp. financially
but seeing people send photos back of our #SatanicAntifascism fundraising stickers or flags in places around #Seattle and other cities sometimes literally around the world has been really amazing
Moreover, we’re still being sued by #TheSatanicTemple in federal court. TST is now also suing Newsweek for writing about us and that case. Check the pinned toot for more.
Are you part of a Satanic organization that has a problem saying that? Might wanna reconsider if they're the right place for you to be.
Anyhow, we have a tanktop for you to let all fashies and their apologists know exactly what sort of satanism you believe in, what sort of community you are creating for yourself and those you care for.
