2. All religions are creations of man. Don't let other people's "rules" control you. Only fools follow the herd.
3. Don't waste time hoping and praying for something to happen- Make it happen! Do something! Positive thinking AND positive action add up to results.
4. Be a good judge of character and quality; be selective on who/what you spend your time and love on.
5. Never turn the other cheek to your enemy. You don't have to forgive anyone who doesn't deserve it.
6. Don't let people use you.
7. Men are the worst creatures on Earth. They are vicious and vile.
8. Envy & greed are the motivating forces of ambition = not sinful. "Sins" lead to success & happiness.
9. Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!
((LOL this is the most true sentence I have ever read in my life!))
We have free will and fate plays no part in our existence.
People are accountable only to themselves and humanity. There is no higher power than ourselves!
And to clarify for the ignorant twats in the back:
--Satanists don't worship Satan. Each person is his or her own god. Believe in yourself, you create your own destiny.
--No one gets sacrificed, only people who deserve to die get killed- like murderers on death row.
--Animals are considered pure and sacred beings. 'Sport' hunting is vile murder.
--People are encouraged to explore their own sensualities and indulgences but never to force them onto others! All inter-personal activity must be consensual.
--In order to control/influence others, you must first attract their attention.
--Scent is an especially powerful tool... like "witchcraft" lol
Perhaps most importantly:
•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. [ie. Freedom of Speech, applies to EVERYONE! No censorship!]
•The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
•Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
And the standard life guidelines apply: Be respectful of other people and their property. Don't steal. Don't give unsolicited advice. Don't bother others with your problems unless you are sure they want to hear them. Mind your own business, do your own thing and don't bother others- if someone bothers you ask them to stop, if they don't then you should destroy them. Do onto others as they do onto you. If you make a mistake then do everything possible to rectify any harm that was caused.
Life is for the strong. Take faith in yourself and battle on.

The Satanic Temple includes a large number of Atheists who use their platform as a very effective means to challenge religious encroachment. Atheists have no legally defensible rights (believing in god is protected, not believing is not protected) so they organize under a faith and can fight this crap.
The Satanic Temple proudly marches at the forefront of battle over women's reproductive rights in this country; fundraising, protesting, even bringing lawsuits against the government. Satanists encourage critical thinking, activism and justice.
America is not a theocracy. Separation of Church and State is vital to uphold the Constitution's neutral balance on society; policies need to be based on facts, not religious opinion. Contrary to popular[ignorant] belief: Satanic Temple members use their power for good! Satanic activism helps everyone 😊 The Satanic Temple is all about making one fundamental human point: we have the right to choose for ourselves.
We are free individuals who guide our own destiny. Infringe on no one.
"The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits guided by the individual will."
Join the Unreligious Revolution and advocate for our inalienable human rights!
Note: the satanic temple is not the same as the church of satan
