https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/823404757 Satanic Temple cannot currently be evaluated by our Impact & Results methodology because either (A) it is eligible, but we have not yet received data; (B) we have not yet developed an algorithm to estimate its programmatic impact; (C) its programs are not direct services; or (D) it is not heavily reliant on contributions from individual donors. Well, Charity Navigator has no data on the Satanic Temple. |
That’s all right. They’re good people doing the Lord’s work. I trust them. |
This appears to be an ongoing theme with them. |
I assume that's sarcasm, because of course Catholics believe Satan is real. Here's a summary of what ST believes. the organization uses Satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state, supporting their mission "to encourage benevolence and empathy [among all people]."[9] The Satanic Temple has utilized satire, theatrical ploys, humor, and legal action in their public campaigns to "generate attention and prompt people to reevaluate fears and perceptions",[10] and to "highlight religious hypocrisy and encroachment on religious freedom."[7][11][12][13] The Satanic Temple does not believe in a supernatural Satan; instead it employs the literary Satan as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity.[8] Satan is thus used as a symbol representing "the eternal rebel" against arbitrary authority and social norms.[14][15] Adherents generally refer to their religion as "Satanism" or "Modern Satanism",[16] while others refer to TST's religion as Compassionate Satanism or Seven Tenet Satanism.[17][18] |
So the Satanic Temple believes in The Lord and does His work? Where is that information? They don’t believe Satan exists, but use images/statues of Satan and the name of Satan. The use Rituals of Satan. Now you are saying they believe in the Lord, and do his work. |
The idea of Satanists performing abortions as a ritual is disgusting. However, as a mirror being held up to us to examine our religious assumptions and values, and our insistence on involving religion in health care, it's very eye opening. Do we have to make abortion "religious" to get it protected?
And you know if men had abortions there'd be a competition for that. |
Given that the Satanic Temple isn’t satanic it’s probably something like asking for an abortion. |
Maybe read the Book of Job sometime? But, sweetie … you are missing the point. What I can’t tell is whether or not you are being deliberately obtuse or if you are genuinely flummoxed. If the latter, I’m sorry — the cognitive dissonance must be hard. |
I think the ritual is.... an abortion. That's kind of the point of ST. Instead of a lot of mumbo jumbo, blowing incense and candles at you, pretending magic words are real..... They are basically un-religion. So I imagine getting an abortion from them would be a very cold, medical experience. As it actually should be. |
It would be very unfortunate for me to have to join a religion to get needed medical care. But unfortunately, that is what we apparently have been reduced to in this backward @ss country. |
I’ve read Job multiple times, what does Job have to do with the Satanic Temple making women join the Satanic Temple and perform the Satanic Ritual of abortion to receive abortion medication? Is it safe for a church/temple to mail out medication to women? Is the Satanic Temple running an abortion clinic via mail? What will women and girls do if they encounter health issues taking the medication? It seems like it’s extremely risky and the fundraising off it is crass. |
Catholic hospitals have entered the chat … |
Hey if you are worried about religions using exemptions fraudulently, boy do I have a google search for you! |
My only concern is that abortion providers offer state of the art procedures from actual doctors with experience, to make it as safe as possible for women. I don't care what they call themselves. |
Yes. Are you saying political fundraising of abortion is crass? Interesting. |
