Some of my favorite of the 11 rules of Satanism:
1 Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
5 Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
9 Do not harm little children.
Honestly all 11 are golden.
My personal favorite is 11.
"When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them."
You all realize that the Satanic Temple is purposely saying all this stuff to attract more worshippers. Just because they say it, doesn’t mean they’d follow it.

Yeah just like the Ten Commandments. Even though they are the set rules for their respective religion it doesn't mean they are being followed.
Satanism isn't actually that bad, in fact I agree with a lot of it's rules. I don't mind what religion is putting up billboards like that cause it's a good message
There's one of these groups here. They're political activists, not a religion. They just use Satanic in the name because they think it's edgy and it gets them attention.
The Satanic Temple are awesome people. They don't actually worship Satan, mind you. They just use him as a symbol to trigger all the fundamentalist Christians. Most of them are actually atheists/agnostics and they advocate for religious freedom and against the prejudice against atheism that is so prevalent in the US. The founder is a total badass too.
Thank you. It just drives me nuts when people downvote without stating why. I know it's not their responsibility or obligation to say why they disagree, but I just always found it to be the common sense thing to do. So that you can have a discussion and maybe even persuade the other person to change their mind instead of making them wonder who disagrees with them and why.
Yeah, Catholics aren't Bible literalists like some of our Protestant brothers and Sisters
Translation: we take an understanding of history to contextualize Bible verses and know that many of them are meant as an artistic expression instead of a direct command from God
Yo man we're just tryna live by what Jesus said, love your neighbor, love God, and don't worry about the rest of it. Jesus said "whatever you do to the least of my people, This you do unto me" and I take that seriously. Everyone has Christ in them, and so when we hurt each other we're hurting God. If you see something evil in that then look again, I just want to follow the greatest commandment of all: to love God and my neighbor
Hey if you want to think that Jesus was actually evil, I can't stop you. I might be interested in hearing why you think 1.6 billion people think they're following a good guy when He's really isn't, but to each their own, man. I love the guy, He loves me, but whatever you wanna do or think is between you and Him
But the 1.6 billion people are wrong, Jesus is actually evil, and you know the truth abt it. Alright. Just outta curiosity now, just to see how deep this goes (and btw you can stop answering my questions at any time, you have absolutely no obligation to me or to anyone for that matter) do you think that the things people do for Jesus (love one another, volunteer, help other people) are evil too? Or just Him?
I mean for me, I converted. I saw a bunch of happy people who were doing good things in the world and I wanted to be one of them. I remember I even felt upset bc no one my whole life had told me there was a specific joy that came with being with God that nothing else in the world could provide. I hope you find a faith one day. It doesn't even have to be Christianity. But as someone whose been on the hardcore-atheist side and the Christian side, I can tell you the Christian side's a lot more hopeful and fun. Btw if you ever have any questions about my faith or Christianity (even hardball, atheist questions like 'how can an all loving, all powerful God exist in a world with evil") I'd love to answer them
I mean, God doesn't have any evidence for Him or any evidence against Him. I hope you know that. Science can only answer questions of "how" never questions of "Why"
You know your philosophy terms! Nice
But He's God. He can totally be contradictory. Just bc we can logic out how He is, He's God. And with God, all things are possible. Human reason cannot begin to fathom God
Why are you against her marrying a christian? I'm just wondering because I grew up in an irreligious place and never really gave this kind of situation much thought. Is it because of different traditions/holidays?
I don't want her to marry anyone who isn't Jewish. Does that make it better. I don't want conflicting holidays and traditions. I've seen from experience the Jewish culture gets ignored while the goy culture takes over.
Not sure I agree with your whole "us vs them" dichotomy, I'm personally for religious freedom. However it's her life, and if she shares your beliefs, she won't marry a non-Jewish person. If not, it's her life and her choices and there's not much you can do about it.
Do you live in Israel, by the way?

Point proven.
"My religion doesn't believe in murdering people" okay well hopefully most serious religions don't
