What evil things do Satanists actually believe? Here are the 7 tenets copied right from The Satanic Temple site, their equivalent to the 10 Commandments.
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word
As usual the unknown gets filled with fear, the truth is far less scary.
I wanted to do a little PSA because I have seen a few people slandering a certain group of people on nostr.
Every major "satanic" organization I know of is actually atheists using the image of satan to make a point. The Satanic Temple for example is using the religious aspect of the specter of Satan to remind Christians why separation of church and state is important. They do this by demanding equal representation when christians attempt to practice religion as a part of government business. A statue of Baphomet next to the 10 commandments or a prayer ending in hail satan next to the prayer ending in amen has proven much more effective than reasoning with Christians about the risks of letting religion become a government institution.
So you ask yourself, "if satanists don't believe in a real and literal Satan, what do you call people who do believe in Satan?" We call them Christians.
