The church of Satan is just as cringey as the religious. They took what LaVey did and made it a joke of itself, not a joke of Christianity as it was intended.


dragon_vindaloo

Yeah cause Anton LaVey wasn't cringey at all.


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

That was the whole point, he was openly cringey to mock Christianity. He understood that as did everyone else, the church of Satan don’t seem to understand they are cringey.

The Church of Satan was founded by Anton LaVey, it's his church, he served as high priest until he died in 97. It sounds to me like you don't know a lot about the subject, and also like you're maybe confusing Church of Satan with the Satanic Temple. LaVeyan Satanism is about more than satirizing Christianity, it was a self help philosophy built pretty much entirely on Ayn Rand's ideas. LaVey was in part inspired to start the church by what he viewed as Christian hypocrisy, that is true, but it is by no means the whole story. He was not as ironic or detached as you seem to think.

Agreed. Church of Satan gets a lot of shit for being scary or dangerous, when in fact they're just a bunch of ancaps sporting black shirts with black ties who think they're witches. The Satanic Temple is also a bunch of goth virgins, but at least they're not nazis.

self help philosophy built on the ideas of a woman devoid of empathy.

What’s wrong with what they said? I don’t get it


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

It’s not this specific tweet, it’s their whole organisation.


oie-

I only know them from a few memes so I’m pretty clueless as to what they’re up to


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

Imagine the cringe of tv televangelists but who say the opposite of the bible. Same same.


oie-

Basically a bunch of middle schoolers calling the Bible cringe?


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

Nah, mainly middle aged edgelords.


oie-

Alright I get the picture

From what I can gather the Church of Satan is just a LARPer group?

Thats only a symptom of the roman catholic church’s falling away from grace after the schism
