Ron DeSantis Just Invited the Wrath of the Satanic Temple

The Florida governor signed a law allowing religious chaplains to counsel public school students—and already he’s flouting the Constitution by saying some religions don’t qualify.

Despite what this article says, I don't think The Church of Satan is a religious institution. How can someone who believes in nothing be a religion?

I think they believe in more than they let on or realize.

Fair is fair.

If you want religion in the public arena, you have to let them all in.

I know I say this a lot in 2024 about many things, but the Satanic Temple is demonic. We have to make sure the Satanic Temple is banned forever. Not a fan of DeSantis, but some other politician or group of people need to end this temple.

I had to check them out.

"The Mission Of The Satanic Temple Is To Encourage Benevolence And Empathy, Reject Tyrannical Authority, Advocate Practical Common Sense, Oppose Injustice, And Undertake Noble Pursuits."

"With unfortunate regularity - and much to our chagrin - The Satanic Temple is confused with an earlier organization, the Church of Satan, founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s. The Church of Satan expresses vehement opposition to the campaigns and activities of The Satanic Temple, asserting themselves as the only “true” arbiters of Satanism, while The Satanic Temple dismisses the Church of Satan as irrelevant and inactive."

Satanism has an entire belief system. The US armed forces allows you to declare it as your religion

More importantly it’s got tax exempt status as a religion by the IRS so, there you go.

Hang out with them, do you?

I have a lot of varied interests, meet a lot of people and I’ll share a drink with just about anybody.

So, yeah, I’ve come across a couple.
