Man arrested after allegedly planning to bomb Satanic Temple in Salem

According to a Jan. 12 press release by the Salem Police Department, 30-year-old Luke Isaac Terpstra was arrested and charged with possession of bombs with unlawful intent, after an investigation by the Grant Police Department in Michigan.

The Satanic Temple is a religious organization that encourages “benevolence and empathy among all people,” rejects tyranny, advocates for “practical common sense,” opposes injustice, and undertakes “noble pursuits,” according to its website.

Yet another christian terrorist.

morphballganon,

“Christian” meaning, of course, a person Christ would find frustrating and disappointing

saltesc,

In order to attack Satanism, you must first know absolutely nothing about Satanism.

I feel like these people could read and understand the Satanic Temples tenets and still try to blow something up.

"Individual choice and personal freedoms all while relying on science and reason??? Not on my watch!"

Edit typo

BurnedDonut,

That’s a requirement for becoming a religious extremist.

grue,

They want to blow them up, too.

Username02,

You also need to know next to nothing about Christianity.

bostonbananarama,

Ummm…you may want to review “Christianity”, the Bible is profoundly violent and disturbing.

bedrooms,

I regret to find a savage kind of satisfaction in me seeing the Satanic Temple lure religious radicals into taking terrorist action. I really should not.

Done

gregorum,

Unrelated, but the terrorist’s surname contains 5 consecutive consonants.

That’s really unusual.
