The Satanic Temple actually does celebrate the black mass, which is a sacrilegious inversion of the Divine Liturgy.
And if you think it's hypocritical for an avowed secular Liberal organization to adopt Satanic symbolism and ritual, you fail to grasp that Liberalism was devised as an assault on Christianity from the start.
It's no coincidence that the Satanic Temple champions free speech. The Enlightenment compromise sold as a way to prevent violence between Christians was a Trojan Horse designed to soften us up for our enemies.
Consider: The First Amendment is why we can't stone these witches as they deserve.
Here's what I say with my free speech: "More weight."

Sure, liberalism might have been devised as an assault on Christ and the disciples and their commie ways. We can't have all that "share everything between them", when money can be made through fleecing people.
What? Was that not what you meant? Oh, you thought Christ was conservative? Nah, that's the OT you're thinking of, which Jesus' death and resurrection did away with, honey.
No, Jesus telling you "Let whomsoever without sin cast the first stone" is why you can't stone those "witches".
Yes the Satanic Temple claims to have a lot of members. So Brian believes the Satanists then?
And as for “Liberalism was devised as an assault on Christianity from the start”, that’s parroting Vox Day. If Brian’s going to follow Vox Day, a Nazi in everything but name, an inciter of terrorism and an advocate of the break-up of Western nations into warring tribes, then you would think Brian would love Satan, especially since Satan is usually considered to be the personification of all evil.
So, he’s saying the First Amendment and free speech are BAD things??

"The vile person shall be no more called liberal ... For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy ... to make empty the soul of the hungry." (Isaiah 32:5-6)
What's standing in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics is why you'll never have mecha, Bri.
The greater weight of what they have trumps your 'Freeze Peach'. Who's to say that - just like the Holy Britannian Empire in Sunrise/CLAMP's other phenomenon of a franchise "Code Geass" - Japan aren't working in secret to equip their JSDF with 'Frames': of the Knightmare kind...?!
If the 2nd Amendment is okay for your country: yet your 'Emperor' is gearing up against Iran's nuclear ambitions, then you have less right to complain when Japan is the first country to have the seed (their destiny that is Gundam or not) of superior mobile firepower.
Sakuradite powered or not.
You're no Lelouch Lamperouge, Bri.
The Satanic Temple has seven fundamental tenets:
1 One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
2 The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
3 One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
4 The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
5 Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
6 People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
7 Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Not so bad, hey. I’m glad their religious freedom is protected under the First Amendment, also, you don’t get to memorize another Salem.
It isn't so much the first amendment that keeps you from murdering people for your religious beliefs so much as all laws and due process which you want to be selective in who they protect.
Giles Corey, the man whose famous last words were "more weight" was being compacted under stones to force him to issue his plea before being tried as a witch. He knew full well that pleading either way, guilty or not guilty, meant he was a dead man and that his property would be confiscated leaving his children with nothing.
His last words were defiance at the disingenuous nature of both the proceedings and the accusation. You're not echoing that defiance, but the injustice and idiocy he was defying. Because he refused his accusers the satisfaction they legally had to recognize him as a Christian upon death and his property remained in the hands of his heirs. So in addition to making an absolute mockery of history you're also either drawing attention to a man who was executed wrongfully with literally no way out from a backwards, barbarous system that persecutes the innocent and was basically a convenient tool to get rid of one's enemies or if you actually believed (quite insanely) that he was a witch you're reminding everyone of his victory over Christianity.
Confused?
