@quesadilla9957 If they're openly and avowedly atheist they should not be able to claim religious rights and protections. Can't have it both ways.

@quesadilla9957 "Congregate" and "worship" That's what you do in a religious context, not a social club.

@masonhunter2921 Thanks for admitting you can't actually address my point.

@masonhunter2921 "they need the protection of the freedom from religion" Who is forcing them into any kind of religion?

@masonhunter2921 "a preference for Christianity (or any other religion)" So is Satanism a religion or not? You can have it both ways - a religion when it suits and a social club when it doesn't.

@masonhunter2921 "Do Satanists worship a god?" They usually claim atheism when asked about their beliefs. In fact the whole thing seems to be more about insulting Christianity than any kind of coherent ideology. "Their god would be every bit as legitimate as anyone else’s" Well no actually because they'd be worshipping an entity that according to their own theology is both explicitly evil and also subordinate to a superior one. So even on that basis it makes no sense to give them parity.

@masonhunter2921 Oh and a minute ago you were claiming they needed freedom from" religion because they were atheists. Now you're saying they need freedom of religion because they're "just as valid as any other religion". Again - which is it?

@masonhunter2921 All I'm trying to do is make these people actually commit themselves and say definitely what it is they believe. Something they seem very reluctant to do because then they'd actually have to be consistent. "The worst horrors perpetuated on the religious have been by other religions" You're clearly not familiar with the history of communism. "It’s the right of every person, religious or not, not to have some one else’s religion crammed down their throats" You still haven't said how this is in anyway happening to these Satanists. Personally I'm perfectly happy with the idea that there are some things a civilised society simply shouldn't tolerate. Such as slavery, child abuse, and literal worshipping evil being among them. Although since most modern "liberal" ideology is little different from worshipping evil: I suppose it's questionable how practical it is to prohibit it.

I used to dismiss the idea there was a tangible force called "evil", but the more I see of the left/liberal movement and what it's doing to civilisation: I'm starting to wonder. . . . . . . .

@evertvdb000 Thank goodness - or they'd be left to be raised by these sociopathic degenerates.
