Satanists seek religious exemption to pro-life laws, call gay unions their ‘sacrament’

Clarly the Constitution provides relief from government intrusion into bona fide religion. This can be defined historically, ecclesiastically, biblically, and by virtue of its appeal to absolute authority. One may not expect to create a religion out of wholecloth (sic Scientology) and expect to be granted religious exception.
This supposes government and the courts are operating within the constraints of tradition and common law.

He added that gay “marriage” is a Satanic “sacrament.”

Refreshingly honest, ping!

There are plenty of Satan’s little helpers in D.C. All those who push pro-abortion and pro-sodomy laws are doing the devil’s business.

"Clarly the Constitution provides relief from government intrusion into bona fide religion."

I am certainly not comfortable with giving the government power to decide which is a "bona fide religion". Once it is so empowered, it may decide one fine morning that yours doesn't qualify any more. Or mine.

I happen to believe that only one narrowly-defined Church is real, and the rest were made up by men either deluded or lining their own pockets. I suspect most of us here feel the same way, although we'll disagree on the precise identity of the one actual church. ;)

Even despicable, awful, corrupt, fallen and misleading churches deserve the protection of our Constitution. The answer is not to support a government crackdown on them, but to use our freedoms to spread the real Word ourselves.

“As Pope Francis has so often pointed out, Satan really exists,” he said.

If anyone had any doubt about it, this story would serve as confirmation.

We need to get back to saying that some things are evil.

Exactly right.

>> We need to get back to saying that some things are evil.

Existence is intrinsically evil.

Naughty NYer, you didn’t include the “Barf alert” warning.

[DannyTN]

"Existence is intrinsically evil."

No. Existence is intrinsically good. Choosing evil is evil.

These dingbats need to read Job in order to get a clear understanding about who HaSatan REALLY is.

HaSatan (The Adversary) works FOR, not AGAINST G-d. Thus Satan is not an evil entity that has ANY power to do anything unless the Almighty gives him the ‘green light’.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

LMAO. Satan’s ‘followers’ are dumbbells.

He wants nothing to do with this.

[Gene Eric]

I never said existence wasn’t good, but it’s ignorant to believe evil is not elemental to existence.

Choosing to avoid and mitigate evil is good. And one does not need to choose evil to be evil which is not to say the decision to embrace evil is never made.

Satanist rubs scrotum on tombstone, posts pics, laments not being taken seriously.
