Satanic Temple Wins Official IRS Recognition As Tax-Exempt Church

As announced by Church leaders:

We are pleased to announce that for the first time in history, a satanic organization has been recognized by the United States federal government as being a church. The Satanic Temple recently received notice from the IRS affirming our status. This acknowledgement will help make sure the Satanic Temple has the same access to public spaces as other religious organizations, affirm our standing in court when battling religious discrimination and enable us to apply for faith-based government grants.

It's a great day for religious freedom in America!

In a statement, Lucien Greaves, co-founder The Satanic Temple, explains why the group sought out tax-exempt status:

In light of theocratic assaults upon the Separation of Church and State in the legislative effort to establish a codified place of privilege for one religious viewpoint, we feel that accepting religious tax exemption — rather than renouncing in protest — can help us to better assert our claims to equal access and exemption while laying to rest any suspicion that we don’t meet the qualifications of a true religious organization. Satanism is here to stay.

And by the way, before anyone has apoplexy, they do not believe in of worship Satan

For the record, the Satanic Temple does not promote the worship of Satan, or any other imaginary deity. Instead, the group utilizes satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state.

The Satanic Temple is a faith community that describes itself as facilitating “the communication and mobilization of politically aware Satanists, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty.”

And are you happy about that?????????????

what sort of human being are you?


MY GOD! what scum!

In such evinced, overt ignorance is exactly where evil grows strongest. Sure, laugh it up, go all in with the rest who condemn and mock Christianity as a worn out, cobwebbed over, has-been fairytale. Doing precisely that is the sole manner in which fools can comfort themselves into believing there is no need for personal moral accountability and responsibility. Bathe merrily in your warm seas of moral relativism and moral nihilism. Just do the rest of us the solid of keeping that slow decay into anti-civilization between those cults and the slime they covet.

...and I though Spiro Agnew was dead!

I admit, that Satanic church guys are not really ready for the big time. That is currently held by Catholic priests who molest alter boys.

... That is currently held by Catholic priests who molest alter boys.

Why is everyone an idiot in the USA? I guess the probability that a married man in the USA abuses a child is 25-36 times higher - except in the USA exist other special cultural indicators than in Germany. In general it's a little difficult to understand the problems with sex of the whole US-American culture.

By the way - it is not the underworld, which is astonishing - the evil underworld of the shadows is known since a very long time. Heaven is the very new important thing. The ressurrection of our souls in a body of fire or light. In heaven we will live with a body of light in love together with god and everyone else we love.

It sounds like they're lying when they say they don't promote worship of Satan.

For what reason could they call themselves the Satanic Temple, if not to worship Satan?

 

[james bond]

They think they're making fun and mockery of Christians, but they will end up worshiping Satan. It's funny in a strange way how Satan makes converts out of simple minds like this.

 

[anynameyouwish]

wow, a satanic church gets tax free status; Oh Hell, watch out for those gentle Christians.
Soon they will throwing gumballs at the satanic church & the satanic church members.

He is a fictional, magical character. He can be whatever I want him to be.

Well, Ken Copeland does have to worry about all the demons in airplanes, now that he owns three private airplanes...

Jesus is NOT a fictional character any more then John F Kennedy. Even people who didn't like Jesus recorded his existence. Even Jews admit that Jesus was a real person (they just try to explain why he wasn't their Messiah). In fact, there are growing numbers among the Jews who actually have come to accept Jesus as the Messiah ---- fancy that!

 

[james bond]

That's stupid. Even a fictional human character is suppose to have an age and a first grader reading about someone their age would call you stupid over it. You'll be lucky to die of embarrassment.

The Satanic Temple, isn't that the Vatican?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Even people who didn't like Jesus recorded his existence.

No they didn't. Not one contemporary recorded his existence.

 

[james bond]

The Satanic Temple, isn't that the Vatican?

Nope. TST belongs on your side. Jesus said that he witnessed Lucifer fall from heaven like lightening. It means he traveled at the speed of light to reach Earth and become Satan. That means he fell as fast and as furious as he could. From Adam's sin, he became "god of the world and prince of the power of the air." 2 Corinthians 4:4

It means God has given Lucifer, now Satan, limited powers over the unbelievers. Many places in the Bible state that this happens and it has. That's why I can say without question that TST members will fall under the power and influence of Satan. We'll see it as it unfolds.

 

[james bond]

Even people who didn't like Jesus recorded his existence.

More BS from an unbeliever under the influence of Satan. Jesus of Nazareth is written by both Roman and Jewish historians besides that of Christian writings. Compare that with King Arthur, for example, who supposedly lived around 500 AD. The major historical source for events of that time does not even mention Arthur, and he is first referred to 300 or 400 years after he is supposed to have lived. The evidence for Jesus is not limited to later folklore, as are accounts of Arthur.

I think it’s hilarious that the Satanic Temple has the same credentials as the Catholic Church relative to its tax exempt status.

If Christian extremists were willing to be objective; they would admit they have no corroboration that any of the gospels were authored by Luke, Matthew, Mark or John. They are simply accepting they were. And in fact, many of the accounts surrounding the jeebus were written long after his death by men who never met him.

So what happens if they were written by priests who were trying to codify messianic fervor of the time, and they did so writing a fictional account of a messiah? What if the real Jesus is an Essene priest who lived 100 years before? Suddenly that could explain a few things. I think it’s pretty clear that Jesus could be an amalgam of existing messiahs of the time, most notably a rabbi of the Essenes who lived about 100 years before what are commonly referred to as the years of Jesus Christ. If memory serves, there's biblical notation that the Jews did not initially reject the messiah, not until they discovered his way was not that of the sword.
