The rise of SJWs like the author has pushed me from anti-theist to commissioning a crusading zweihander and plate armor. They are being forged in the fires deep below mount Sinai, quenched in the offal of the virgin birth, engraved with entire Bible, and inlaid with the iron of the Holy Lance.
It's amazing, isn't it? 6 years ago I was posting on /r/atheism every day and watching thunderf00t dunk on creationists.
SJW's have very quickly taught me precisely why people need to be told there's an invisible all-powerful sky-daddy who will have them raped and tortured for eternity if they disobey him.
Elevatorgate is what brought the progressive religion to my attention. The Harris Affleck interview on Maher was the first time I knew to get the popcorn out in anticipation of major fireworks.
The book that solidified a lot of of the ideas about Hell wasn't the Bible, it was Inferno, the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. He took the place of darkness, blended in a big dollop of Tartarus, and built the modern ironic Hell, where your torment is not only eternal, but symbolic. Even the structure, with treachery and betrayal as the worst sin, is rather Aristotelian in outlook if I recall correctly.
It hasn't been about exactly what the Bible said for a very long time. I'm sure all of us of the internet atheist generation laughed at the rules in Leviticus. "Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts." and such.
I am a 40-something attorney and mother who lives in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and a garage full of scooters and soccer balls. I often walk with my children to get ice cream and spend weekends hiking through a national park. I am not the type of person who would normally consider becoming a Satanist, but these are not normal times.
When men have a midlife crisis, they buy a sports car in a pathetic attempt to recapture their youth. I guess this is an attempt to go back to the teenage fuck-you-dad rebellious edgelord phase? I guess just LARPing as a revolutionary by pulling down the occasional Trump/Pence lawn sign and bailing out the occasional Antifa member wasn't getting her righteous rocks off anymore.

You know, I'm sure there's some of that, but I'd be willing to bet at this point that most guys just buy a sports car when they're in their late 30s/early 40s because ... they are in a financial position that they can buy a sports car in their late 30s/early 40s.
Why do I say this? Because I bought a sports car in my late 30s. Why did I do it? Because sports cars are kind of fun and I was in a financial position where I could easily afford one.
I think these "midlife crisis" accusations are mostly a combination of envy and people shaming men for enjoying themselves.
When Justice Ginsburg died, I knew immediately that action was needed on a scale we have not seen before. Our democracy has become so fragile that the loss of one of the last guardians of common sense and decency in government less than two months before a pivotal election has put our civil and reproductive rights in danger like never before. And, so, I have turned to Satanism.
Yeah, it sounds like this woman - and indeed most people thinking of becoming a Satanist - should actually be looking at the Temple of Set instead. You know, the real Satanists who really believe in Satan, and were founded & led by Michael Aquino: a high-ranking military intelligence officer & 'psychological warfare specialist' who partook in 'Nam's Phoenix Program (IOW, he was an industrial-scale torturer & butcher) in addition to being a child rapist.
That's why I prefer that old time religion trolling, The Church of the Subgenius. I am an ordained minister of the Church. While I never paid much attention to the fundamental articles of the Church, feel free to ask me anything.
"I'm afraid that the ebil bad orange man is going to make us follow a state religion, so I'm joining this anit-religion over here to own the Republicans and make sure my daughters have rights!"
Yeah, sure, whatever. Let us know how well that works out for you if you ever have to go to court over your "religious" beliefs, or have to explain yourself to a normie Christian person.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
I'd be interested in the authors opinions toward de-platforming and social media removing offensive language, all of which primarily target her political opponents. I think suddenly, the freedom of others will become much less important to her.

Right there with you. "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." needs an addendum: "Most people are really shitty inventors."
When it comes to mousetraps, baked bread, and religion, most people are better off sticking with the established brand than trying to make their own.

What a shame.
Sometimes I wonder how many all you internet atheists would be walking lockstep with those SJW's, if they weren't so anti white male.
It wasn't even that that made them impossible for me to ignore.
It was, unironically, when they started fucking with my videogames.
Because that is literally the mechanism by which I ignored them.
DEUS VULT MOTHERFUCKER!
Burn incense in your armory three times a week. Purify your weapons with God's light.
Don't have an armory? Son you're behind the times.
I keep most weapons on the line.

As a youth, for me at least, the determining factor was if they got two of the following:
A) A car
B) An earring
C) A blonde half their age
Lol I have 2 cars and I’m not even in my 30s yet
Well, I'm glad you have the money for two sports cars at your age. Congratulations.
The Satanic Temple is literally just a bunch of atheists trolling the government whenever it wants to put jesus somewhere. That's all it is.

Also, praise 'Bob'
Real Satanism or Levean Satanism? Both are gay as fuck.

so you were already considering it?
