I usually think of Satanists as fine folk and good people but https://www.churchofsatan.com/faq-prisoner-issues.php ‽
Membership is terminated if someone is convicted of a felony? Not only is that /just plain stupid/ given the existence of things like drug laws.
But, I don't know where you got /your/ Satan, Mr. LeVay. But MY Satan teaches teach through love the taste for Heaven to the cursed pariah, even to the leper and gives the outlaw that calm and haughty look That damns the whole multitude around his scaffold.
@ink_slinger …I think the Satanic Temple sort of has to be the good one by process of elimination :)
And anyone who follows Satan should take pity on others in their long despair and act with them to build a heaven within the man-made hell, up until the point such places are razed to the ground.
And ‘in general we think that too often people have not received punishment that fits in kind and degree their crimes’? EXCUSE me?
Retribution is a /garbage idea/ for /garbage Satan/.
@Azure i am pleased to live in a time where we have a multitude of ways to worship Satan

@OchotonidKnight @Angle Probably revenge against the authorities if that. But revenge doesn't really get you much.
@Azure @OchotonidKnight Eh, revenge might not, but the threat of revenge? Now thats a much more interesting argument. :/
@OchotonidKnight @Angle True. If you're speaking of a personal Satan and a personal God then the best revenge really is living well.
@OchotonidKnight @Angle @Azure I don't see it that way, but I get the feeling my opinion wouldn't be too respected there.
@Azure This is why I go Satanic Temple and not Church of Satan.
@Azure "Satanism is a law and order philosophy and in general we think that too often people have not received punishment that fits in kind and degree their crimes."
That sounds super reactionary and implies they think punishments should be more severe then they currently are.
But, then, I can never remember whether it's the Church of Satan or the Satanic Temple that's the good one.
