    Satan is from the Christian mythos. If a cult started worshipping the swastika and making swastika statues, would thay be okay?

          I don’t know, this is your metaphor.

          I was just pointing out your choice was a very bad one.

          It’s funny because Christians believe in Satan but Satanist don’t, they use the idea of Satan and the reaction that people have when they think of them.

          Maybe don’t use as arguments things you intentionally don’t know about?

          You basically made the best case against your position. Getting high and might instead of actually considering what that could mean seems very shortminded

              I learnt history and religions. To me honest, this is a very common bit of knowledge, you need to be extremely closed minded to not know it. In India is EVERYWHERE and it’s very common in Japan too.

              I love how you try to imply something nefarious here “so you know something I do not? Maybe you’re evil!” It’s the most Spanish inquisition shit I’ve seen in the last 2 centuries.

              If you’re going to oppose something, you might as well have some superficial knowledge of it. Case and point https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets

              But of course, of you think being ignorant is amoral thing…

                I dont need to study nazi symbolism to know nazis are bad because of the holocaust. But ypu guys are a little too interested in nazi lore.

                  Wait, you know about the Holocaust? You seem to be very interested about the Nazis. Why do you like so much antisemitism? /S

                  I’m joking, of course. I think it’s crazy to make the connection “knowing” = “supporting” but that probably flies over your head.

                  Anyway, you have the info you need to make your own mind about the satanic temple. If you want somebody to think for you, that’s also fine, but tell them to join this conversation, maybe they are more open minded.

          Thanks for letting everyone know that you can’t learn beyond a surface-level understanding. Quite impressive - one does not get to meet such dull people very often.
