The Satanic Temple is known for trolling the religious right, but in its fight for religious pluralism, it's become a powerful foe.

    It’s a huge fallacy to try to use “their logic” against them, because none of it is founded with logic. They will say “yes religion in school but not those ones”. The same way hypocritical Republicans get abortions and claim “I’m not the same as those whores who are making crack babies”, or get vaccinated while being anti-vax because they love sealioning

      It’s not by law. A religion is a religion, and religious rights are constitutionally protected. The Satanist Temple has been fighting for abortion rights for years, and even opened an abortion clinic. If Christians are granted representation, then Satanists have the same rights. It’s all or nothing.

      Except it’s not “them” that gets to decide, it’s the courts. And from what I’ve seen, TST is actually winning. So I wouldn’t call it a fallacy.

      That’s the point. At the very least it exposes their hypocrisy. At it’s best it acts as a shield because when the court says they have to let the satanists do it too they just stop forcing regulation into whatever.
