@mcc

thank you for anticipating the need to differentiate

@mcc yes inasmuch as I would vote for a Christian I generally agree with

@mcc Agree on the issues, disagree only on aesthetics and generally about taking the bait from the get-go. But maybe I’m wrong and we’re trapped in theism-world… in which case hail Baphomet

@mcc Satanic Temple, yes. Church of Satan (LaVey), no.

@mcc If I generally agree with them on issues, I don't give a fuck what they do the rest of the time, as long as they're not hurting anybody! 😃

@mcc
We're assuming this Satanic variant wasn't written in prison by white supremacists... Because to hell with those guys. They don't know about love under will.

@mcc more like contemporary satanism, not the left hand path or oto types...probably

@mcc Satan is the bringer of light, so seems a solid choice!

@mcc
Depends, I don't trust The Satanic Temple one bit. Individual Satanists seem pretty cool but TST not so much.

@mcc i missed this. voted "black metal yes / laveyan no" (assuming i would not agree with a laveyan on the issue) but with this proviso (that i would vote for them in the first place based on issues) i would change my response to "yes"

@steve @mcc
You might want to read some stuff by QueerSatanic about TST, its founders, shady finances, and the disturbing history they have with antisemitism and white supremacy. Individual Satanists are fairly rad, but TST the org is definitely a problem.
