Today, in a symbolic act, Iranians set fire to the flags of Israel and the United States, as well as an obelisk and a statue of Baal—which they described as a symbol of Satan—in various cities across Iran in response to the release of the Epstein documents.

... You did? I'm sorry, I didn't see where you mentioned that.

    Probably because I stated it after your posts, my fault, entirely, I should have linked you. https://kbin.earth/m/worldnews@lemmy.ml/t/2396552/-/comment/11212850

    It's taken me several years to get all this stuff, and we're just not taught it. Christianity has it's own political agenda, largely began to validate Constantine's conquests, evolved over time to support European's and USA's.

    And Judaism began as Abraham leaving either Babylon or Chelsea, choosing to worship one of their many gods, and conquer and colonize, and so on since Summer and before.

    You're welcome! Even though you follow Satanism, I daresay a deep dive into these topics will irrevocably change your understanding and relationship with your own faith! Another interesting point of reference to look into is the difference in understanding between Judaism and the ha-satan and Christianity's Satan!

    Ah, thank you! But I'm afraid you may have the wrong idea: The Satanic Temple (which I am a part of) is in all but name a secular humanitarian organization - formed in opposition to the various religious authoritarian movements in the US. The trappings of satanism are only there to serve as a way to bait hypocrisy. I'm only interested in this topic from a cultural standpoint, as I'm not personally religious. I do appreciate the thought though!

    Well, aside from news, I don't know anything about any practices of satanism, but fwiw, the tenants don't clash with my understanding of Christianity, gnosticism, or Judaism, which is very incomplete, at best!
