  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Satanic Temple opened a second telehealth abortion facility to provide what it describes as “religious abortion services,” and sees the killing of pre-born babies as part of its “destruction ritual.”

Despite its name, TST is not affiliated with the Church of Satan, an organization founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s. TST also has its headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, where it holds two virtual satanic Temple services each week.

TST announced in a press release provided to The Christian Post that its new 24/7 telehealth abortion facility, “Right to Your Life Satanic Abortion Clinic,” will open in Virginia. Women will be charged a fee to obtain abortion-inducing drugs, but the group claims it will help pay for some travel-related expenses.

Well, this is what you get when you enact laws based on religious principles. Goose and gander and all that.
Are you calling abortion a religious ceremony the devil approves of?

I’m not sure how you got that out of what I said.

I’m saying if you set the standard of religion being used in government to make legislative actions, it’s going to be used that way by everybody.

As is natural. We all want our views and morality reflected in society.

Fair enough. It’s like the UCC made it clear same sex marriages were part of their church, so it was part of their religious identity.

It’s always a two way street.

Which is why it is imperative Christians actively combat Satanists and make it clear we consider them intolerable.
In a nation that protects freedom of religion, your not liking them matters very little.

Sounds like something it would do. Mockery is its reason for existence; here it appears to even be stealing the name. Steal, kill, and destroy....now that sounds familiar. These people will tell you they don't actually believe in satan.

Nice try at a tactic to achieve their goal.
