Reminder that The Satanic Temple was founded in 2012 expressly to troll Christians and have no real ability to claim sincere belief. Nor was their 2012 organization at all materially harmed by the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

They're just jerks.

Not to sound too much like Walter Sobchak but "Say what you will about the Church of Satan, but at least LaVey had an ethos, man."

I know a lot of cool people who claim devotion to the Hosts of Hell. Very very few call themselves "Satanists". Some call themselves Luciferian. Some just call themselves demons! A whole lot of them are Plural systems.

They don't deserve this mickey mouse bullsquash.
