Happy Thursday everyone.
The mods have discussed the issue, and we have decided that posts and comments that contain links to Twitter/X are now banned. There aren't many on this subreddit, so the impact would be small, but taking a stance against Nazis is something that we feel strongly about.
EDIT: Several people have asked about screenshots of Twitter. The purpose of this ban is to decrease visibility, traffic, and relevance of the site in general, not to stopper information. Discussing information that has originated from Twitter is not banned, and in fact, we should remain informed about any developments that happen there. If a Twitter screenshot is the best way to share information on a relevant matter, then by all means go for it. u/RevRagnarok has very helpfully pointed out that xcancel is a way of navigating that site without supporting them via ad revenue, and can be done without an account.

Some people find it comforting to think of TST as purely a political activist group that just uses the trappings of religion for satirical/legal purposes. This is, however, not true at all.
Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion with it's own community, mythology, iconography, ethics, rituals and pretty much everything else, you would expect from a religion.
We believe that there is value to be found in religion, especially when you divorce it from superstition. Just because we don't believe in the supernatural, doesn't mean we're not serious when we say that Satanism is our religion.
Yes, we are politically active. But our activism stems from our religious beliefs, not vice versa.
The mythological backbone of our religion is the literary tradition known as Romantic Satanism. John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lord Byron's Cain - A Mystery and especially Anatole France's Revolt Of The Angels are the sources that one should read, if they want to know, where our ideas about Satan stem from and how He relates to our values and beliefs.
Ruben van Luijk's Children Of Lucifer and Joseph Laycock's Speak Of The Devil deal with the history of Satanism and Shiva Honey's The Devil's Tome is a book about modern Satanic rituals.

Short answer: No.
This is a more elaborate answer and this post provides some more context.
Due to a massive increase of new members, shipping membership cards can take up to 5 months.
Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion. Full stop. However, nobody is monitoring the personal beliefs of TST members and nobody has ever been kicked out for holding supernatural beliefs.
It is up to the individual to figure out if and how their beliefs fit into Satanism. Just make sure not to distort scientific facts to fit your beliefs.
Modern Satanism has many aspects and it is up to the individual to decide, which ones they want to embrace.
Some people, especially those that grew up in indoctrinating or even abusive households hesitate to embrace the "more religious" aspects of Satanism and that's fine. Nobody is obligated to participate in rituals or anything else that makes them uncomfortable.

So I recently started to read about the satanic temple and I was curious if the inverted pentagram was a symbol that is associated with it or if I'm just guessing wrong

I am very new to Satanism, though I have unknowingly lived by the tenets for most of my life. I want to really understand every aspect, though and had trouble working through a specific scenario. I have worked in the medical field, and have had to make medical decisions for people who were unconscious or not in their right mind. Does this violate the 3rd Tenet ( One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone )? Can I act in their best interest if they do not have a will to grant permission?
I realize this is outside of the general scope of TST, but I really want to understand every part of this new life I have chosen. It's not just a political thing for me.

Hail, everyone! ❤️🔥
Looking for a discussion that might challenge the way you think? The Oklahoma TST candidate group (The Black Flame Temple) is hosting Hellish Hypotheticals tonight, and everyone is invited, no matter where you’re from!
📅 When: Tonight, 6-7 PM Central Time
💻 Where: Google Meet
🔗 How to join: https://linktr.ee/theblackflametemple
What is it? We discuss ethical dilemmas where two or more of The Satanic Temple’s Seven Tenets conflict. There aren't always easy answers, and that's the point! We challenge assumptions, share perspectives, and explore what happens when our values pull us in different directions. You don't have to be a Satanist, a TST member, or part of our candidate group. You don't even need to have the Seven Tenets memorized! We'll explain which principles are in conflict for each scenario.
Just bring an open mind, your opinions, and a willingness to have a respectful debate. Disagreement is welcome, and everyone gets the chance to share their perspective. Come challenge your thinking, hear viewpoints you might not have considered, and join the conversation. We'd love to have you! 🤘

Today, I wanted to do some research on LaVey Satanism because I'm curious about it, considering sociological, economic, and educational factors, etc. But I realized that no studies have been done on this topic. Why do you think that is?
(My English is bad, so I may have made some spelling mistakes, sorry.)

Anyboby happen to know if I have religious rights as a subcontractor? I subcontract to an HCR Mail carrier at my local post office and today I was told I'm not allowed to wear my satanic cross because it's unprofessional and offensive. I was also accused of trying to intimidate my coworkers in the office by having it on.
I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Edit: I probably should've mentioned I'm in Missouri

Just finished watching this gem of an educational video and was absolutely blown away! 10/10, definitely recommend.

We THOUGHT we were heading out to stir up good trouble with the usual 2-15 Catholic Geezers from 40daysforLife org. But found this sad crap instead! It’s a school that busses kids over, on a school day. They bring them in shifts, by age group.
We had to switch gears fast; ended up playing baby shark on loop and using only our rainbow flags. I hadn’t finished my Seven Tenets sign yet, so it was just gonna be the flags as far as “Satanic” memorabilia goes.
We aren’t trying to scare kids! We know firsthand what it’s like to be brainwashed. Despite leaving our satanic flags out of the mix, they still thought we were demons.
We’ve got a lot of other videos from this same day going viral on the other socials, and the local NBC news is picking up the story.
Using kids like this pissed off other Catholics too! So it’s created quite the frenzy, in a good way. Now a lot of Christian’s are publicly stating this is wrong.
Just wanted to update everyone in this group because I told you we are heading out with our flags. Didn’t think it would turn out like this!
Hail Satan! Maybe one day we can all live in peace and have equal rights for ALL?
