Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

Cause they are Putin’s Pooh Stains. He (& by his shitting out/spoon feeding marching orders, they) want to dismantle democracy.
His offense budget (~40k/year per social media troll (how many does he employ?)) does wonders against our defense budget (IDK how many hundreds of billions, but random memory says mid 7s).
Man puboy really getting his money’s worth with his Trump tapes and troll farm. Turn the US on themselves for basically free
Just like the bible, they love to cherry pick whatever fits into their narrative.
What are you talking about?
Four Legs Good, Two Legs
BadBetterSays so right there in black and white.
Because they don’t actually believe in it
They haven’t read it. They have just heard what is in it from their leaders. Just like the banned books or the Bible.
This is it, combination of ignorance and stupidity.
It’s technically not against the Constitution. The first Amendment prevents the government from creating or establishing a religion, and thereby prevents the power of the government from expanding beyond civil matters. The First Amendment also protects people’s right to worship however they choose, or to not worship any god at all.
Having religious text on display without induction into the curriculum is legal. Only now, other religions have a platform for equal representation. Maybe it’s time for The Satanic Temple to open a Louisiana congregation?
Lol no. And SCOTUS has said no several times. There is no, “oops I left my Bible out and accidentally converted some kids” carve out for government employees. Religion stays at the door.
SCOTUS has ruled against it previously, but separation of church and state is from one of Johnson’s speeches, and not technically in the Constitution. I wish it were. My point wasn’t implying defense of the display. I’m simply saying if they want to play by the rules of Originalism, then all churches deserve equal representation according to the Constitution.
That’s already part of the SCOTUS rulings.
Do you have a link to that case ruling? I’d like to be up to date. I’m familiar with Engel v. Vitale, but that is exclusive to curriculum teaching. It does not apply to religious works on display.
Stone v Graham was exactly this. Kentucky tried to put the Ten Commandments into schools. SCOTUS said no.
That’s great! So there precedent. It’s only a lawsuit away from being removed.
“simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
The Magna Carta:
Quick! I NEED someone to shoot up a bunch of 6 year olds so I can PRETEND to Care about the Constitution again!
We, the worshipers of Enlil, shall not be denied our representation!
The Students of the Land known as Louis-anna shall learn of the Mooring Rope Between Heaven and Earth!
Under His eye.
Time to post 10 commandments in Arabic and watch MAGA meltdown

Not even that complicated; just invite a religious scholar to explain what Jesus said, starting with caring for hungry people and immigrants and in general literally just what he taught and what he cared about
They’ll shut that shit down like a female student with unpermitted clothing
Oh they’ll invite a “scholar” all right. The southern Baptist militia chaplain would love to preach to some kids.
Wouldn’t even be the first time this month that a bunch of religious zealots and government thugs stormed a school full of peace-loving hippies and dragged them off by their hair.
Just post the laws from Leviticus right next to them to make it clear nobody follows this.
Don’t wear cloth of mixed fabric was my favorite of god’s laws.
“The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. J. Adam Bass, R-Bossier City, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
There is NO WAY to say this with a straight face. We all know what you’re fucking doing, just admit it.
Then certainly he will want to post the Mayflower Compact which says “to each according to their needs from each according to their means”.
it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
Alright, so let’s put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.
Marduk rules, man.
Down with Marduk! Ahura Mazda is the one true god!
I don’t know, Marduk is a far better hook up for getting my pills https://youtu.be/uD-hjTuGbAs
If Marduk were all that great, then he would not have allowed Ahura Mazda and Darius to conquer the Babylonians.
Fuck Marduk. All my homes hate Marduk. Apsu was right about those rowdy kids all along!
I’ll give him credit if he can produce the original, historical “document” he’s talking about
We historically feared satanism too. Should probably post their commandments “so that the kids know what to watch for”. Right next to the biblical ones.
- Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
- Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
- When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
- If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
- Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
- Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
- Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
- Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
- Do not harm little children.
- Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
- When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
Satanism is weird. Let’s use The Satanic Temple tenets instead:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.And I think you forgot the following:
VIII Remember to vote every Christofascist out of your congressional system. They are in violation of your Freedom of Religion right.
These are the ones to live by
Much more cringe-worthy than the Bible ones, to be honest.
Oh yea things like, ‘not harming children’ , and ‘do not rape’, are cringe. Good thing, the based Christian bible allows you do those things.
I’m more talking about “your lair”, “the mating signal”, and “destroy him”. Deeply, deeply cringey.
It’s edgy neck beard shit. The whole philosophy is reactionary and shouldnt be taken seriously. Living as an anti- anything is pathetic and cringe.
It’s because it’s Satanism and not the Satanic Temple.
Satanism (usually referring to Levayan Satanism) is for libertarian, edge lords. This is the flavor of Satanism the phrase “Do as thy wilt” comes from.
The Satanic Temple is for based secular people (they don’t believe in a literal Satan) who support the separation of church and state, and bodily autonomy, etc. They spend a lot of money on legal tests of issues exactly like this article. Donate to them!
I love how half of these are just “don’t be fucking annoying”
It’s the power of belief. When you train your brain to take things on faith despite of evidence, that’s what you get.
Ah, yes. Very foundational to our legal system. The First Commandment (using the version usually touted by evangelicals):
You shall have no other gods.
That’s why we didn’t pass the Bill of Rights with the US Constitution. Because the First Amendment there states people shall have freedom of religion, and that would contradict the First Commandment.
Very foundational to our legal system.
Given our political attitude towards Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, and Pagans, I honestly don’t detect a lie.
In America you can have any religion you want, so long as its the correct one.
The next four Commandments to round out the top five are foundational to our legal system, although none of these prohibitions is actually enshrined in any of our laws:
- You shall not make idols.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- Honour your father and your mother.
Yeah, and they’re trying to codify those (except they’d love it if you’d idolize them for “saving” you)
These tools probably actually believe this country was founded on “the” ten commandments, even if the secular founding and the freedom FROM religion flies right in the fact. The first of “the” ten commandments and the First Amendment come into conflict right away. Their silly fanfic has their god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh declaring there is to be no other god but him. Meanwhile, my First Amendment means I don’t have to give a flying fuck what they say their god says.
Going by memory of Captain Obvious’ guide book:
So… He’s bearing false witness about some stolen traditions (Jewish) & made in to a graven image.
If I had to guess, I would bet he worships cash & oppression more than Jaweh. I could be wrong. It could be pedophilia, like most vocally puritanical types.
What did I miss? 3/10 isn’t great. The fourth is just guess & conjecture.
I demand the Magna Carta and the Code of Hammurabi be posted, using the same argument.
But which ten out of all 16 commandments?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Commandments_text_and_numbering
How can these people say they love America, the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers when they’re doing the opposite of what they wanted? Every religious law added to government sets us 100 years back.
it’s actually very simple. The Republicans in charge are evil and don’t care, while their followers are too uneducated to know any better.
I hope it will be posted on classrooms with appropriate historical context and commentary. Also aren’t there different versions of the ten commandments anyway depending on your exact religion?
Time for the Satanic Temple to post the 7 Tenants in classrooms!
Or the 5 tenets of the dark brotherhood (elder scrolls)
I fucking hate Louisiana. It’s probably time to pack up.
Yep. Me and my wife moved from Mississippi to Seattle 2.5 years ago. Best decision ever.
Good luck. Pretty sure all the neighboring states are also shitholes.
Oh trust me I don’t plan on going next door
As long as this is posted right up next to it.
Lol magic
That will trigger the xtianists the most.
Oh no! Better hope you have never deployed it successfully, or you’ll now lose all you have gained through it.
I think those are the Church of Satan principles.
Some may prefer the Satanic Temple’s tenets: https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets
Either way, I agree, LA should be required to put up the beliefs of all religions if it will require even one.
Oh, they are. But right now, there are those that view the Satanic Temple as a publicity stunt, so it doesn’t have as much of an impact as it used to. Post the actual Church of Satan principles if you really want to rustle some feathers.
Please no. CoS is basically narcissism as a religious cult. TST are the ones doing the real work. And having actual common sense rules up there rather than edgy bullshit is going to do far more good.
TST lawsuit in 3… 2…
Unfortunately CoS existed first by a few decades. Thankfully you can’t use IP protections for a religion so TST just tries to ignore them.
I was suggesting TST would be suing Louisiana for access to hang their articles, not suing CoS for IP violations.
Ahh okay
Pretty sure the separation of church and state has something to say about this.
They’ll be quick to tell you that the Constitution doesn’t actually explicitly state they should be separated. And what it really means is no one can stop them from proselytizing because that would prohibit the free exercise of religion. Of course they’ll also tell you there is no religion other than the 1853 convention of Eastern sect Southern Baptists. Everything else is a heretical lie that needs to be burned.
Re-reading the first four makes it seem like God is a very insecure individual.
God’s fragile vindictiveness is one of the few consistencies in the Bible.
The Big Ten were written at a time when paganism/animism was the dominant religious view and the idea of monotheism was weird and foreign. You really had to hammer those home early on, because one minute you’re up on a mountain having the acid trip spiritual moment to define a millennium and the next you’re down in the valley watching all your friends jerk off to a big bronze bull just like you told them not to!
When your parish flock is that prone to stray, I’m almost surprised they don’t have a few more.
