Upper leadership is rife with predatory behavior, Lucien Greaves has said a lot of really problematic racist and white supremacist stuff, and there’s a difference between schools of Satanism within the temple. Basically, there’s an amoral, “might makes right” interpretation of Satanism that can act as an ideological framework to enable all sorts of abuse, and then there’s the “one’s own body is inviolable, support queer liberation” style of Satanism. The upper leadership (in my experience) is mostly the former type of Satanist, whereas the general membership are the latter. So the org has a lot of problems.
The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic sect of Satanism. They don’t believe in an actual Satan, he’s more like a symbol for self-betterment
I know what satanism is.
It’s not self betterment. It’s just selfish.
You obviously don’t given you are just regurgitating christian dogma
Thats just straight up incorrect
What’s satanism?
It’s not exactly popular to talk about it here in this community, but the satanic temple REALLY sucks as an organization too.
In what ways is TST a bad organization?
