ok so let me get this straight
we’re all atheists
we’re all anti theism
none of us believe in magic
we all have purpose behind the use
but we are supposed to fight about something because we’re humans so let’s go with the word satanist in this scenario
that seems very silly to me
Well, they claim to not believe in magic but that you can harness some inexplicable "supernormal" power through ritual. But they can believe what they want. I don't care. It's just tedious that they always feel a need to inaccurately comment about TST when nobody asked to begin with.
seems like a waste of energy & time
it honestly felt like people were searching the words on twitter in the experience i had because i didn’t say a word about the CoS i only talked about TST and all the sudden they were all over my tweets
it was weird & my first experience with the members 😬
They would say that they are correcting misrepresentations of Satanism. And while it clearly is a waste of energy and time, it is also the only thing they have. They consider that their purpose, and they have no other. Ask any of them what they do for the CoS, and that would be it.
My response would be that, when you care about something you belong to, you don't like people misrepresenting it or applying it to something it isn't. People constantly bastardise the term 'Goth', to mean any celeb wearing black lipstick. I care about my subculture and dislike the misinformation
Spread by outsiders who try to misuse the term. We see Satanism in that way. We see the religion of Satanism as being the religion founded by LaVey. No one treats other religions like they do Satanism, telling us we have to accept separate ideologies that dont use our founding texts/philosophy
Im not here to cause a huge argument or shit storm, so I won't elaborate unless you ask any questions. But I just wanted to provide the 'other side's' answer to balance things out
