The Satanic Temple released a statement Saturday challenging new rules proposed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott which require aborted babies to be cremated or buried and go into effect Dec. 19th.

The Satanic Temple called burial rites a “well-established component of religious practice” and said their members believe in “the inviolability of the body,” concluding that “as such these rules contradict our fundamental beliefs.”

The Satanists invoked their First Amendment “right to practice our beliefs,” adding that “under the Religious Freedom Reform Act (RFRA), the State must present a compelling reason for why they want to enforce rules that inhibit adherence to our religious practices.” …

See post 18. I see and agree with your point though. Abortion should not be legal except to save the mother and in cases of incest. Otherwise, it just spawns a kind of moral rot that threatens civilization.

And then there’s ones soul...

We never heard anything about satanists when I was growing up. Why are we seeing so much now?

You couldn’t ask for a better headline.

The young skulls full of mush have to be asking themselves why they are on the same side as the Satanists.

These are not true Satanists but atheists masquerading as Satanists. Satanists keep a low profile in order to remain unrecognized. Militant atheists are constantly showing up in the news to flaunt their disbelief.

They both do the work of evil but in different fashions.

Militant atheists worship the god of this world while insisting on not admitting it to themselves.

Same reason that homos are out of the closet and the whole world is totally bizarre. Mass media propaganda gradually making the weird, perverted, and anti religious, anti family policies more acceptable. Bit by bit they have altered the culture-like the frog placed in water and heated so slowly it winds up cooked.

Plus, Satan is real, and many people have fallen from grace, I believe that we are getting very close to the end times, because there is so much evil going on.

I hope this isn’t too creepy, but what exactly to the Satanist want to do with the aborted remains instead?
