Satanists plan protest with ‘unbaptisms’ when Christian rocker Sean Feucht holds Washington worship

[HARK!]

A group of Satanists plans to crash a Christian evangelical event in Washington state featuring musician Sean Feucht, with a ceremony featuring “unbaptisms” where ashes of an incinerated Bible are dabbed on a person’s forehead.

Ms. Coffin, who said she uses a pseudonym to protect her job as a health care worker, said Mr. Feucht “tends to border [on] pretty hateful things, especially against the trans community. A lot of our members are trans [and] LGBTQ, so it’s really important to us to be there and just offer that alternative and those gender-affirming rituals as well as unbaptisms and just show Olympia and our community that we’re there for them.”

Why am I not surprised that LGBTQ and Satanists are working together to undermine Christian messages?

Sounds like a bunch of dorks.

Is there a problem if they exercise their religious freedom?

These LGBTQ and Satanists are obviously intent on making a problem for them.

What problem is that?

Bringing disruption to their worship.

Didn't you read the OP?

They’re Satanists, they play for the “other team”.
They’re supposed to be the “bad guys”.

It sounds as if it upsets you that these things are true.

Unfortunately, with religious freedom even if we know they are working for the enemy they are still within their right to.
However, religious freedom keeps us from being discriminated against. So, if we can protest so can they.
Can’t have it both ways.

What a great opportunity to demonstrate the love and power of God.

Probably because no one is surprised when people rejected by Christianity go elsewhere.

That said, satanism isn't really popular among any group, including minority groups. The whole thing including this OP event is just a tiny sideshow.. We shouldnt pretend its important.

"Strange bedfellows" alliances are actually pretty common when two groups have both had beefs with the same entity.

Remember when Westboro had their little rallies? You'd see a pretty eclectic group of people showing up to protest them together.

Not to mention, many "Satanists" don't actually believe in an actual Satan, they're something of a satirical/ironic group aimed at helping reign in the power of government and public influence by showing religious people what it's like when other groups want to use some of the same perks they've carved out for themselves and highlighting hypocrisy when they bristle at it.

The Satanic Temple - Wikipedia

They've actually had some successes on that front from a legal standpoint.


A simplistic example of their aims:
Religious people: "We should be allowed to exempt from these certain rules on the basis of our religion"
Them: "Great, we're a religion too, so that means we get to ignore these other certain rules, you said that's cool right??"
Religious people: "Ummm...okay, we've thought about it a little more, maybe it's not such a good idea to allow people to use their religion as a basis for ignoring certain rules"

Bringing disruption to their worship.

FTA: "The Washington State Capitol in Olympia will be the site of Mr. Feucht’s July 28 rally, which will include music and worship — with the Satanist protest “within eyeshot,” protesters said."

It does not appear that any crashing or disruption is planned.

I've never even heard of Sean Feucht. Is he some major Christian recording artist?

This is fantastic! What an inspiring message! Good for them.

I'll also note that this event is happening out in the open and public space in front of the state capitol where ALL residents of the state of Washington have a right to be present. Nobody is "crashing" anything.

I couldn't read your link, because it wants me to pay. Also, I couldn't find any more articles about it. With that being said. I don't believe Satanists, should be using the Satan title. It makes them look bad, I don't believe Satanists or anyone, should be protesting a worship. But I don't believe Religions should be forcing their morals and belief on everyone. But Conservative Christian and Conservative Religions are forcing their morals and belief on everyone. For years, they have been spewing hate and lies, because of the right-wing media. And they still think it's okay to defend them, even though they found out they been lied to. I've also looked up Sean Feucht, He seemed to believe the right-wing media. And choose to fall for Trump and endanger people's lives during COVID-19 pandemic. Conservative Christian and Conservative Religions need to clean their own home. They're supposed to be setting a good example. I'm not seeing it.

From the article:

Mr. Feucht said self-described Satanists have thrown animal’s blood at him and an attempt to do so in Seattle was “stopped from the authorities” before they could try. He said the prospect of an oppositional event in Olympia doesn’t bother him.

“We’re not going to be deterred, and we’re not going to be afraid and we’re not going to be pushed into a corner and we’re not going to be intimidated,” he said. “This is not our first rodeo with them.”

He said the Satanists view state capitols as “spiritual high places” where advocates fight “for abortion and the future of our children. A lot of the laws are created there, and so they feel threatened that we’re bringing God to the [state] Capitol.”

“When they see Christians go into the Capitol, declaring the promises of God, they feel threatened. It means that we’re doing what God called us to do, and it means that the powers of darkness are threatened.”

I've never even heard of Sean Feucht. Is he some major Christian recording artist?

I know of him from his association with Bethel Church in Shasta County and its superspreader event.

From the original link there:
Among Bethel’s most high-profile attendees is singer Sean Feucht, a volunteer worship leader at the church and failed Republican congressional candidate who led a nationwide “Let Us Worship” tour in defiance of health mandates, drawing thousands of people to Christian music concerts, including at the National Mall.

Some “Let Us Worship” posts have been censored by Facebook as possibly linked to the baseless █████ conspiracy theory that alleges █████ is battling a syndicate of █████-worshiping ███████ who control the █████ ██████████.

It doesn’t upset Christians. We understand God’s word is being fulfilled when things like this happen.
