    I met a boomer guy who really thought the Satanic Temple believed in Satan. He wouldn’t even hear it.

    He was also in a cult for half of his life. Like the “I live in a isolated bunker farm and gave up my passport/social security card” cult.

    Not saying they’re related. but I am leaning towards anyone who has a negative opinion of the Satanic Temple also being a fucking moron.

      It’s not that easy - I underwent the same kind of brainwashing when I was a kid (I grew up in Apartheid-South Africa) where everything from the peace-symbol to soccer to underwear that wasn’t made from 100% cotton was hysterically painted as “satanic…” and I’m being quite literal.

      It’s difficult to undo all that - no matter how smart you happen to be.
