Zoo’s and aquariums, fucking love animals.

I remember as a tween sitting there and praying and I just sorta realized wtf am I doing. I had always asked too many questions so I thought it weird an imaginary guy could hear everyone and everything at once. Then I was brought to a fmaily member’s church where they told me my father was going to hell because he was a soldier, no ifs and or buts about it. So yeah if 10 year old me can realize it, I don’t know what the hell is wrong with these fucking abrahamic religious zealots.

OP missed the fun bit after the tunnel bombing:

The first cargo train exploded directly in the Severomuysky tunnel.

To continue transportation, the Russians began to use the detour route through the so-called Devil’s Bridge — a 35-meter high viaduct structure, which is part of the Trans-Siberian Railway. At that point, SBU saboteurs struck again.

“When the train was passing over this 35-meter high bridge, the explosive devices embedded in it went off,” the same official added.

So from another comment:

I could also picture this leading to so many different unsafe situations. Leaving a bad area of town at night after a show? Great, the system kicks in and disables your car leaving you stranded and at risk of robbery or kidnapping or assault whether you stay with your car or try to seek another ride. Driving home to a rural area in freezing weather with no cell service? Well, the system thinks you’re impaired so it disabled your car, leaving you at risk of hypothermia, sorry. Stressed because you’re late to a job interview? Sorry, the system determined you are driving in safely and disabled your car, so guess you won’t make it. It’s solidly dystopian. !squiblet

As anyone who has ever had to have an interlock in their car can tell you, the Police give 0 fucks if the interlock messes up on its own giving an “abnormality” then they’re dragging you to court and/or jail while they figure it out.

Any system that can be used to monitor citizens will be, ex. the NSA and the revelations that caused an American hero to have to hide in a literal dictatorial country. You can’t trust the government or law enforcement with any information. PERIOD.

It’d be more akin WW2 Japan; racist af and ready to turn on its allies of convenience the moment it suits them

When are people going to realize India is the third power of the new axis forces (China, India, Russia).

Lol they need to read a history book, that will just end up with arsonists working for the fire departments like the early days of firefighting in most large American cities

I would encourage you to broaden your research beyond Wikipedia. While it is a great jumping off point for many things, it is not a credible source in any academic or judicial sense. Lucien Greaves has some some very on-point statements in the court cases he’s been involved in detailing how TST is a genuine religion.

I think you’re getting too hung up on your idea that it is “centered around stereotypes that offend Christians,” which it is not. There is deliberately no standard for how to practice, and you will find many that identify as Satanist have had past experiences with Wicca, Paganism, and other non-theistic/mono-theistic religions. They bring those past experiences to their personal practices and rituals, which is hardly appropriating or as you said, “cringe.”

they don’t actually sincerely believe in an actual Satan, unlike the Church of Satan which is sincerely Satanic.

I don’t see why you keep trying to compare the two, they are entirely different religions. In this context then would you say Buddhists are appropriating the image of the Buddha? They do not see him as their “god,” yet they use his image and name whenever they refer to themselves.

They didn’t “appropriate” anything. TST’s tenets are based around the Lucifer/Satan depicted in Paradise Lost, The Revolt of the Angels, and other Romantic era literary work. In those works, Satan was a rebel overthrowing the yoke of the tyrant and encouraging people to think for themselves and use compassion for others.

The Church of Satan, on the other hand, was established by a megalomaniac magician who based his philosophy on social-Darwinism. His works reek of sexism and elitism, while trying to convince people magic was real…

Correct on The Satanic Temple (TST) being non-theistic. While it did start off as trolling, it has coalesced into a religion of its own (much to the chagrin of the nutty christians here), just without the superstition used to coerce people in abrahamic religions.

I have nothing constructive to say; just FUCK Israel and anyone who supports their ethno-fascist bullshit.

Tapley told Popular Information that Vicki Baggett, an English teacher in Escambia County, has been “helping us.” Baggett, who Popular Information interviewed earlier this year, has challenged hundreds of books in public school libraries, including many that have LGBTQ characters or address racism. Baggett told Popular Information that she challenged When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball — the inspirational story of a Black woman who overcame racial prejudice to become an Olympic champion — because it would make white students “feel uncomfortable” as "they are being white-shamed.”

Like what the actual fuck is with these loons, people like her are why the Germans were forced to observe and cleanup camps after WW2. If it makes you uncomfortable maybe try and learn how not to be a racist, imaginary-friend worshiping fuck.

Wow, that cop is fucking lucky the accuser had more patience and faith in the system than most parents after a monster goes after their children.

Same, but I get it, they don’t want to get popped on their drug test and sober life is boring
