I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

Hi all. I know there is no one here at the moment, but for anyone that decides to pop in, I'd love to hear your story.

Hope all is well and hail Satan!

Religulous.

I grew up in a conservative christian household but when I was 18 I met a trans woman (neither she nor I knew it at the time) that asked me, when I was doing as conservatives do, "But what if you're wrong?" That was the first time in my life someone even suggested I question my beliefs and it was asked so kindly and earnestly it sent me down a rabbit hole of Christopher Hitchen's, Richard Dawkins, and too many others to count. Eventually I caught Religulous on Netflix and that was the first time I heard about TST.

TST and other freethinkers saved my life, I believe, because when I was full of hate I didn't hate anything as much as I hated myself. The Satanic Temple among other groups and individuals helped me to be accepting of others which helped me to stop hating myself.

This is a bit of a tangent at this point, so I'll just add hail Satan.
