      Correct, but modern Christians take issue with it because they’ve been conditioned to hate it. The true sheep of society is the religious right wing. The book is definitely sick.

      Compare the Ten Commandments with the 7 tenets of the satanic temple. I’m going with Satan every time.

          been a long time since I read the book, but didn’t the original tenets include a bunch of edgy language like destroying anyone who encroached on your freedom? This reads like it has been sterilized.

            I used to dabble in the noodly appendages but I was put-off how serious people seemed to be taking the whole thing.
            That’s how things always start: the initial group makes a joke, the second group pretends to follow it, and then later down the line people actually buy-in. It’s essentially the 4Chan playbook.

              That’s something I’ve always though. That “thunder is a god fighting the frost giants” started as a joke. Like many other religions.
