The Satanic Temple

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

The organisation known as the Satanic Temple is getting ready to send its chaplains into Florida schools, as a bill edges closer to adoption that allows volunteer chaplains in schools.

The religious group, which does not actually believe in Satan, encourages “effective and artful protest”, according to its website.

In the ten years since its conception, the group has advocated for First Amendment rights, as well as religious freedom, across the United States.

That's their solution for mental health?! School chaplains??! Man, this country is so fucked.

No, their solution is to threaten school chaplains, that way the Satanic Temple trains some secular counselors in reflective listening and developmental psychology in response to the call for religious volunteers Since the Satan Chaplains are working for an activist cause, they're cheaper than actual counselors. And all the school has to do is admit that an active Satanist works in the school.

It's chess on a five-dimensional manifold, man.
