When the word Satan surfaces in practically any context, it’s most likely to raise an eyebrow or two because of its pre-dispositioned evil reputation that has been present for decades. Satanists basing their ideologies and beliefs around the notion of the Devil himself don’t necessarily directly worship or engage in rituals often associated with this practice. The non-theistic religious group called The Satanic Temple with branches all over the world are, in fact, avid supporters of their local communities’ wellbeing and regularly engage in philanthropy.
It seems that it’s not about the cliche performing violent rituals dressed in a black cloak while drawing inverted chalk pentagrams anymore—it’s more about donating blood, assisting victims of domestic abuse, and helping out the homeless. Below are a few of the initiatives established or supported by the Satanists.

Organizing Initiatives To Provide Menstruation Products To Those Who Can't Afford It
Various Satanic Chapters across the USA participate in this initiative to make menstruation products, including tampons, sanitary pads, menstrual cups, and wipes available to anyone in need, focusing on whoever may not be able to afford it without assistance.
C.S. E. 4 years ago
Sanitary products are extremely important - they get donated about as often as socks do. I always try to purchase them when on sale for the express purpose of donating. Being in need is one thing, imagine being in that position AND bleeding from the crotch. Also, I adore 'Menstruatin' with satin.' I would like that on a shirt.

Just so everyone knows, most satanist don’t worship satan. The most common form of satanism is LaVeyan Satanism, which views satan as a kind of metaphor rather than a being. Also, satanism isn’t evil or anything. They don’t raise demons or sacrifice animals or babies. The rules of LaVeyan Satanism actually bans followers from killing any living being. https://www.churchofsatan.com/ Here’s the official website if anyone wants to know more about it.

When you donate things to organizations not many feminine and sanitary products are donated so this is amazing thing beans did.
Mewton’s Third Paw 4 years ago
Remember the cheapest products are often the most toxic. Pads and tampons have bleach and chlorine and shît in them that you might not want on your vagina, and there often aren’t listed ingredients. Consider donating non toxic products if you do donate, like Honey Pot or Seventh Generation

Question, do you have to believe in God to believe in Satan? Feels like yes.
PotatoNinja5000 4 years ago (edited)
No. It's more of a rejection of hypocritical Christian ideals. Satanism is a celebration of being human, warts and all. It's about accepting who you are and not accepting the shame that others may put on you. It's about standing up for yourself and your community, and not being one of those hypocritical religious people who are so hell-bent on being 'perfect' that they themselves are actually evil. I'm not a Satanist myself, but reading their teachings is actually quite refreshing. It's more about being a good human, not being evil and sacrificing babies.

Backing Up Campaigns To Battle Various Child Abuse At Schools
The Satanic Temple Chapters collectively joined forces nationwide to address abuse taking place in public schools and fight corporal punishment, use of physical restraints, restricting bathroom access, and violating other civil rights.
So in the meantime, as everyone waits for the summoned Devil to burst through the floor and bring the world’s end, these various Satanic groups are working on spreading good. Contrary to popular belief, most Satanists don’t pray to the Devil, but actually observe Baphomet, whose figure is composed of a human’s body, a goat's head, and wings.

One of the most interesting things that the Satanic Temple does is fight for the "separation of religion and state". So when a government endorses a specific religion (typically a specific denomination of Christianity) the Satanic Temple steps in. For example, a city hall allows a church to erect a 12 commandments statue on city property, the Satanic Temple petitions to erect their own statue. If a school board allows a church to hand out pamphlets to the students, the Satanic Temple hands out "Satan and Me" coloring books. Suddenly these organizations are stuck in a bind, either they say "all religions are welcome" and allow the Satanic Temple to continue, or "no religions are welcome" and the local church has to stop... but they legally can't say "only this religion is welcome"

I'm a member of the UK chapter of The Satanic Temple and it really gets my goat, pardon the pun, when people assume we slaughter cattle and sacrifice children. When the founder, Lucien Greaves, gives public speeches especially when he was giving public outdoor speeches regarding The Satanic Temple monument outside the state capitol as well as the Ten Commandments in Little Rock Arkansas, he had to wear a bullet proof vest. It's ridiculous. Christians have threatened to shoot and kill Satanists but a Satanist would NEVER do the same to a Christian. Ever.

The majority of Satanic Temples are really just Atheist's/Agnostics etc. They do it because the Church of Satan is considered a Religious organization which gives them the same rights as any other Religion in the U.S. like the ability to sit in and get to petition the city council, they have a voice in their community, they get tax exemption status etc. Personally, as a Christian, more power to them. They do a lot of good that I don't even see some churches in our communities doing. I'm friends with several people who are apart of our local satanic temple. One of them is my cousin.

This is a great thread and will helpfully dispel knee-jerk assumptions. I am familiar with the group, my daughter and her husband are members, so let me help provide a little insight.. The use of Satan as a name is not drawing on the Evil Destroyer aspect, but rather the earliest of reference - as an independent thinker unafraid to question authority. If the word satan is troubling, think of it more as a "don't drink the cool-aid" - rebellion with a conscience. "Awareness, no matter how confused it may be, develops from every act of rebellion: the sudden, dazzling perception that there is something in man with which he can identify himself, even if only for a moment." -Albert Camus

I think Satanist are atheists so they don't believe in god or Satan. But to Christianity, if you are not for god, then you are against God. So Christians think all atheists and agnostics (like me) are devil worshippers so the satanic church just ran with it. It proves you don't need god to have Morals. How can people (Christians) be offended by people doing good deeds? In my experience of being around Christians my whole life (and 9 years of Catholic school) the farther away people get from Christianity, the nicer and more accepting and just easier to be around they because you don't have the bible in your head urging you to judge. I believe in letting people just be. Be yourself. Treat people, animals and the earth with respect! If someone believes differently, fine. Doesn't mean they are the enemy.

The church of Satan doesn't actually believe in Satan...they picked Satan as a symbol of individuality...going against the grain if you will.

I myself am not a Satanist but I have known some...of course their are some people out there who call themselves satanists that actually do believe in some sick things but those people are really no different than any other religious cult in which people interpret a message to suit their own sick needs and ideas.

The Church of Satan isn't the same although they are stereotypically categorized as the cults you see with animal sacrificing and everything.

The only surprising thing about this is that people still don't know what the Satanic Temple or Church of Satan even believe. They're by far more tolerant and kind than most of the uber conservative Christians I've ever known.

I'm pretty sure the Church of Satan is completely disconnected from the Satanic Temple. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Basically they are a bunch of obnoxious assholes who like pissing people off and small groups occasionally do something to allow themselves to get in your face. Would you accept baby formula from Neo-Nazis?

This is one of the more interesting articles on BP, not for the good TST are doing - that's self evident, but for the comments here. We're literally seeing thousands of years of programming and brainwashing in action. Those guys who wrote the bible would be paid handsome amounts these days for their skills in spinning.

I don’t agree with what they worship, but they’re honestly making the world a better place. It’s a pity I can’t say the same for my church.

you know this makes me wonder if Satan IS real (not saying he is int or is or whatever but i do have my doubts i am only human) how would he react? i mean its not like you can blame the devil for being well, the devil it is his exestance and what he does. i mean when he see's things like this does he get happy? does his chest get warm? does he sit on his thrown doing his satanic thing's and take a break scrolling through his Facebook or twitter account and sees stuff like this and then stop for a moment and smile a nice genuine smile that there are people out there doing better for each other in his name? or does he get like weirdly offended? i feel like good cant be without evil and like how god 'punish's the sinners' he would reward the kind hearted in his domain? would he smile and then even if for just a moment hell would be bearable for a moment, would his nice followers randomly get a nice thing or boost or whatever? like just curiose.

Well this is what LaVey wanted with the group, so he probably isn’t angry at all

I think Satanist are atheists so they don't believe in god or Satan. But to Christianity, if you are not for god, then you are against God. So Christians think all atheists and agnostics (like me) are devil worshippers so the satanic church just ran with it. It proves you don't need god to have Morals. How can people (Christians) be offended by people doing good deeds? In my experience of being around Christians my whole life (and 9 years of Catholic school) the farther away people get from Christianity, the nicer and more accepting and just easier to be around they because you don't have the bible in your head urging you to judge. I believe in letting people just be. Be yourself. Treat people, animals and the earth with respect! If someone believes differently, fine. Doesn't mean they are the enemy.

Well I'm hardly surprised that this would be in the bible.

Why don't you keep god out of it? The god of christianity seemed mostly interested in obedience and needing constant worship. If he didn't get those things, he was smiting, torturing, and committing genocides.

Thank you for the second part, but I would just like to point out that you can not agree with their belief but still respect it- That's exactly how I feel and they seem like very honorable people with good character and intentions :)

The church of Satan doesn't actually believe in Satan...they picked Satan as a symbol of individuality...going against the grain if you will. The belief is that every person should think for themselves/be their own god as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. I myself am not a Satanist but I have known some...of course their are some people out there who call themselves satanists that actually do believe in some sick things but those people are really no different than any other religious cult in which people interpret a message to suit their own sick needs and ideas.

Just like Christians who survived Christian clans? Every religion has extremists who twist a religion for their own purposes, they aren't representative of the whole religion. Imagine if all Christians were judged by others as if they were from "children of god"- would that be fair?

Before being burned to death in the name of "god", Taíno chief Hatuey (in 1511) asked the priest present if Spaniards went to heaven. The priest replied 'yes'. Hatuey replied that he would prefer to go to hell so he would not have to see such cruel people. I see enough hypocrisy from so-called 'christians' on a day-to-day basis that I would have no trouble supporting a satanist who does good over a christian who does evil.

Hey I just wanted to say they really aren't "satanic" per-say, just more anti-christian fundamentals. They adopted the symbol of Satan as like a way to revolt almost because they were labelled as "Devil Worshippers" because of their non-believence. The Church of Satan isn't the same although they are stereotypically categorized as the cults you see with animal sacrificing and everything. Nothing they do is really satanic, and they don't actually believe in Satan himself. Here are a few websites to read a little bit as I had to look it up myself to see what it was about lol. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Satanism https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/satanist-reverend-religions-everything-know-facts-devil-worship-church-ashley-s-palmer-a7767641.html
