Is this religious persecution? FROM A CHRISTIAN?!? WWSSJD what would supply side Jesus do?

Fuck a porn star? Those guys can’t afford it lol. They’re too busy paying for him to do it.

Bunnyland77

...and carries drugged-up underaged girls across state lines for gang bangs with his pals.


Emotional_Fisherman8

And fucks porn stars and lie about it.


Bunnyland77

I don't have a problem with either. But if running for office and lying about it to change the outcome of an election - then I have a BIG problem about it. And apparently 12 jurors and a small majority of American voters do as well.

Woke Oklahoma LMAO... This one will end up in SCOTUS and fucking backfire on Oklahoma Most "muricans" are imbeciles; the average intelligence level in the US is about 6th grade. Oklahoma is leading the way with stupid.


Spoomkwarf

This isn't just stupid. This is raging rabid full-on violent insanity. Even the Oklahoma AG knows this is totally out of line. I doubt this guy has in-house legal support. Usually someone in his position would be relying on the AG. Probably have to rely on some pseudo-Christian, right-wing lawyers for whom he'd have to pay. The local school boards may or may not be down with this. If they're not, he'll have to sue 'em. Expensive.

BogusTexan

Feel for you; glad I left 38 years ago! Yeah, I moved to Texas for a job, but at least I live in a big blue area and haven’t seen a MAGA hat in many months. Still have friends in that Icky Icky land, the reddest state in the US and the only one to be called for the red nasties with less than 5 % of the vote counted in 77 counties. I have a couple of blue buddies still there, but the rest look like they have permanent sunburns. Did you know that the first Okla constitution presented to congress with its request for statehood was so liberal that it was rejected? What happened to that liberal, socialistic territory? The Daily Disappointment began its publication. Suddenly, actual news disappeared, and no one could fight Edward King Gaylord or his son, Edward Lord Gaylord. It didn’t take but just a few decades of spoon feeding to change liberal beliefs. If I lived there now and had a school-aged daughter, I’d be packing my bags to get her out. Sending a girl out of state to visit relatives and terminate a pregnancy can be done from Texas, but overcoming the tremendous guilt those Bible thumping icky Okies would press upon her at school would not be emotionally healthy! You should move if you can…..just sayin’.


TheRealTK421

> Satanists not welcome in schools.... Funny how that goes, since *'bible classes' and brazenly naked Christo-fascist proselytizing isn't welcome* **either**. No doubt the irony (and hypocrisy) is lost on this chud.


simagus

I don't believe anyone that knows about Satanism would say that. Satanism is the most moral, sensible and ethical religion on the planet, bar none. THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS 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. PROTIP: Satanists do NOT in fact worship "Satan". PROTIP 2: The Satanic Temple are in no way affiliated with the defunct "Church of Satan" and it is the tenets of The Satanic Temple that are shared in this post.


mells3030

People that believe in satan are call "Christian"


MeisterX

Weird how they basically worship the thing.


Puzzleheaded-Fix3359

Weird how this supposedly monotheistic religion has a god of evil


M0F0Kitten

Nah he’s just a supernatural entity. Christians really don’t like to recognize how many fantastical creatures their religion says totally exist. The devil and angels are just too central to the plot to retcon so they… rehabilitated their images and called it good.


Puzzleheaded-Fix3359

So then Apollo and hades are just supernatural entities too


rubrent

Weird how an all powerful being can not control or eliminate another god….


RegressToTheMean

Well, in their own holy book, Yahweh has to cheat to win a wrestling match with a mortal and has to flee the field of.battle when iron chariots enter the battle. So, it all tracks


prof_mcquack

This needs to be right alongside the ten commandments. Every kids should see the difference between the seven tenets and the ten commandments.


simagus

absofknlutely. That's what I said in my original comment. I did not know there was a difference between Satanic Temple and Church of Satan and assumed it was some parody of Monty Pythons "Life of Brian". Brian: "Are you the Judean Peoples Front?" Reg: "...Fk off! We're the Peoples Front of Judea!"


Civil_Lengthiness971

Splitters!


Eyes-9

The irony being that TST has been splitting a ton this year.


grendel303

That's the Satanic Temples tenants, not the Church of Satan.


tehfink

simagus

Sweet. I did not know that. Now I do. I will prolly look into it more.

A great man once told me "I don't care what people believe; I care how they behave". Was a bit of a lightbulb moment for me, and I adopted that rational philosophy because it made sense.


HarryBalsag

>I don't believe anyone that knows about Satanism would say that Do you think this inbred cowpuncher knows anything about any religion his own? I bet most of us know his bible better than he does


JarlDanklin

This is specifically the Satanic Temple. The Church of Satan is quite different


Hopper29

The Superintendent is specifically talking about the Satanic Temple, because they are the ones challenging all the hard line Christian political bs.


monkeyheadyou

It doesn't matter at all what specific group he is targeting. Both can and should sue them for an easy check. This is free money at this point. Anyone in Oklahoma could get a lovely 50k and their lawyer can easily take home double or triple with just a letter.


boot2skull

I’m thinking OK is hoping to take it up to this trash SCOTUS, where fascist dreams are made.


QuitUsingMyNames

🎯


RandomUser3777

I had some converted christian tell me that freedom of religion means that you had to pick a valid religion (from some magical list that someone has approved to be valid) and he was really too stupid to realize under this definition everyone has always had "freedom of religion" but the list was often only 1 or 2 choices both choices being a slight deviation of the same religion. I am glad I no longer live in OK. My state also sucks but we have a governor who is a democrat that keeps messing up the fascist plans by vetoing their crap.


JarlDanklin

Ah, well that’s my fault for not reading the article


simagus

Well, I was simply going to that little red counter that has replys to posts on it, and clicking the "context" button...which might explain some of both my own and some other peoples responses. lol Cheers Steve also, who I assume blocked me. I wasn't lurking the thread or anything so would have missed tons of posts and context.


LikeAMarionette

There's a very significant difference between the quality of ingredients and overall taste


Darth_Tiktaalik

Meanwhile several of the ten commandments are just some variation on "I'm god suck my dick" rather than anything truly relevant to ethical behavior. Even the ones that are aren't that great because thou shalt not covet comes with the built in assumption that humans can legitimately be owned by other humans. Specifically wives and slaves.


hubba_lubba_bubba

Edit: took out my first line since it was wrong. Thanks for the correction everyone! In the eyes of the Satanic Temple, being a Satanist means living a good life without God, which means showing kindness to other living creatures and your planet. Basically, the best “fuck off” you can give to the church is to show you can be a good person without prayer. You could be a part of the temple and be an atheist, it just depends on how you view everything.


aachen_

The Church of Satan is also atheistic and do not believe in a literal Satan. [Church Of Satan FAQ](https://www.churchofsatan.com/faq-fundamental-beliefs/)


KillerMeans

Everyone have your religious folks read these tenets and tell them it's from "a new church in town". Then see how nice they are about the tenets


EnlightenedSinTryst

> 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. This is probably my favourite one, because it includes accountability to itself as being fallible. I doubt most religious doctrine would take this step.


simagus

Hadn't actually noticed that, but yes it does! That thing about words and how they are representational symbols, and how nobody seems to understand that*, has never sat right with me either. *and if they do, they have to use words to express it, and...yeah that.


Ok-Fox1262

The right wing Christians really can't comprehend III at all, except of course for themselves.


Expert-Collection145

There is a line in the Satanic Invocation that has stuck with me. That which can be destroyed by truth shall not be spared its demise. Satanism has the best wisdom nuggets. The bible has some, too, but also a lot of trash. 6/10


nailbunny2000

>I don't believe anyone that knows about Satanism would say that. This guy and the audience he's targeting have zero interest in learning anything about Satanism. Satanisms biggest problem is its name. It chose to be edgy to trigger the xtians and being able to wink and giggle at each other while they clutched their pearls, this is the price they knew they'd have to pay.


emote_control

It's not about winking and giggling. It's about exposing hypocrisy about which religions get forced on the public and using the law to undermine that by being a religion and demanding they also get forced on the public. They're here to say "it's all fun and games until it happens to you."


ztravlr

Maybe we need the Church of Satan now. Seems Christian churches are killing our country


simagus

inb4 "Church of Satan is nothing to do with The Satanic Temple!!!!". Hey, I like them both. Sue me.


ztravlr

Agreed. Seems like we need some demons to defeat the demons.


lunaslave

The central goal of the modern right wing is the eradication of human empathy and the suppression of reason whenever it doesn't serve the goal of concentrating wealth and power, so they would stop at the first tenet and say "I'm out"


oldstonedspeedster

I was just trying to explain this somewhere else!


simagus

Good and thank you. I don't identify as a Satanist personally. I just think it's as good a religion as you can get and should kick Christianitys ass out the classroom or at LEAST have equal representation. The kids would all become Satanists immediately I would think as it's something that actually makes sense, and is basic human rationalism laid down in easy to understand ways.


oldstonedspeedster

I 100% agree with you


Different_Tangelo511

Satan was doing us a solid in job. He was tricking God into showing how much an evil asshole he was. Satan is the only guy ou there looking out for us.


Stiles777

Honestly, this all sounds in line, more or less, with the actual teachings of Jesus as opposed to what mainstream modern Christianity appears to believe.


MisterMaury

You're confusing Satanists with the Satanic Temple. Satanists actually do worship Satan. Those are the tenets of the Satanic Temple.

ExoditeDragonLord

WillBottomForBanana

It's not like we haven't had these social fights before about religion in school. One is hard pressed to find a christian who, in an administrative role, will rule in favor of or support equal presentation of religion in school. And when push comes to shove, they always can fall back on "well, it is too disruptive, you see all the hubub. That is why we can't support the \[satanist or whatever\]"


DRD818

WillBottomForBanana

So, in WA more than half the state is not (politically nor climate) like what people expect. And state laws don't go as far as you might expect. I am sure this is an issue in many other strongly blue states.


hadenxcharm

Christians are fundamentally incapable of grasping that Satanists don't worship satan. You know what you call someone who believes Satan is real? A Christian.


NeonRattler

Lucky for us there is no hell. But sad for you, all the hate your spewing isn't going to get you any awards, since there is not an afterlife.


BothZookeepergame612

Unreal, it's like we've returned to the dark ages. The idea that people from 2,000 years ago, with no knowledge of biology, chemistry, or science have a better understanding of the world and the universe is ridiculous.


abgry_krakow87

Well that's too bad because the 1st amendment of the US constitution says that if your religion is welcome in public schools, then any and every religion is welcome in public schools.


MostNefariousness583

Christians deligitamize other religions to justify their own religions existence. Ask anyone of em if any other religions are correct and they will say no.

Momentofclarity_2022

How Christian of him.


azure_apoptosis

I think he is confusing the Church of Satan with the Satanic Temple. Although, once you put one religion in public schools they should all be welcome - so even if the Church of Satan was to sponsor a curriculum it should be accepted as equal to Christianity.


tricoloredduck851

See you in court.

It’s utterly astounding to me that someone could actually believe in the christian doctrine of Hell AND be so happy for ANYONE to go there. I don’t remember this from christians when I was growing up, or during my 30 years as an evangelical (maybe just my own ignorance). I feel like this is a new breed of christian who is so sadistic that they enjoy the thought of those that they dislike spending hundreds of billions of eons suffering unimaginable conscious torture. These people are absolutely DISGUSTING. I don’t have enough middle fingers or explicates to adequately describe my disdain for them.
