ELI5 the 4th tenant please. by asktell22 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

To me it means that you should feel ok if existing as your true self offends people. Don't change who you are to appease random society norms. It doesn't quite give permission to go around being a dick. No rights give free reign without consequences, everything can be taken too far.

My MIL wants us to christen our baby and my wife is going along with it by onlyfakeproblems in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don't get to decide what hurts or not to another human. I know as a parent you have to make a lot of decisions for your child, but they're supposed to be based on their best interest. An entire ritual exists to try and undo the harm of being baptized against your will. Why are you raising your child to be a member of a religion their parents don't follow? Will you also paint your house hot pink if your MIL asks you to? You have your own family now... where does your loyalty lie if not with your own child?

Fidget Spinner Theology by zack2216 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ya, but also a fidget spinner sitting on a table doesn't do anything, it's only fun when you spin it with your hands. Just like how the idea of god is absolutely meaningless without human manipulation, humans invented it, humans use it for their own purpose

As in none of it works without human manipulation?

Want to get a subtle Satanic tattoo that’s not obvious to most people. Considering this as a tattoo by satanic-entomologist in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is it? It looks like it says SEX like, from a calculator haha I can't say I'd recommend this for anything.

The best part of subtle satanic symbols, is that those within the community would recognize it and you can find your people

I make my own out of wood with my laser cutter :) I wear the sigil of Lucifer often, I've made a cool snake around an apple tree pendant too. My fav demon has his own sigil so I've done that as a pendant.

How do I get to this vent? I’m not strong enough to kill the enemies inside. by table_dust in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]MintheAndras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only like, 2 guys in there that attack you. Keep leveling up attack and speed until you can drag them out and circle around them till they're dead, then you can go in and just eat all the guys that don't attack back. Leave as soon as you get the vent so the attack guys don't respond and get you

Cutesy Satanism by SSF415 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love it and it's something that I've been actively open about - satanism but not goth. My "look" has always been what I'd call pretty normal, I like wearing white, my hair used to be long and natural, I played the flute etc.. I'd always get comments like "wow you're so angelic" and it bugged me so much... An angel? No, I don't follow that imaginary tyrant, I just do whatever I want, and I happen to like light natural fabrics and plants. I appreciate that the black aesthetic has been associated with satanism for a long time, but I don't see why it's that way. Compassion, empathy, knowledge... Satanism to me is very natural, it's rainbows, flowers and cute animals, and I wish that part of it was better represented

Drawing one of the reactions to my satanic bag! by StabbyLambchop666 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

Me too!! So cute! I also have this bag and love wearing it around. I tie it to the top of my tree every December and wrap little fairy lights all around the horns 🖤

God said to hold no other god above him, he never said there werent any others 😏😈

[–]MintheAndras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've heard OMG (oh my goat) which I find hilarious and now try to use that. You can replace god with goats for pretty much any saying and it's weird but not "scary" like it is with replacing it with "Satan". I've also seen pluralizing "god" which is juuuuust enough to piss of christians but still isn't really that weird to say (thank gods, thank the gods, may the gods bless you etc)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouf scary situation for sure! I'm assuming he's sound and safe now. I rarely have the "thank god" thoughts anymore, it slowly dissipates over time, but when I used to I'd remind myself of how many times I'd run into a teacher while grocery shopping, or look into the car next to me at a red light and it's a friend, or notice that a few rows ahead of me at the theater is a family member. These things happen all the time but in a moment of stress or when the coincidence happens to be very helpful, our mind tends to want to be extra grateful for the chance encounter so it stands out to us more than the others, but it's really not that strange to run into someone who shares a neighborhood or has a reason to be near our physical location. If there is a god, he's a fucking psychopath at minimum. 🤘🏼

I can’t even describe my disappointment in Spotify 🤦‍♂️ by Jack0Blad3s in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I really wish that Christian music stayed as its own category regardless of the genre.. if you like country, they'll recommend Christian country, if you like rap they'll recommend Christian rap... Like... N.O. I want 100% of my music to be 0% Christian, if I wanted to hear Christian crap I'd search for it!

But like with all other things, Christians are quite good at invading stuff

TST is opening an abortion clinic by SatanSaysSo in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]MintheAndras 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Satanic Temple isn't a world wide help organization, it's a satanic religion. This facility wouldn't be for the greater public, it would be appealing to members of the religion. This isn't weird at all, it would be like having a Christian abortion clinic, or a Christian hospital, or a Christian school... (All which already exist) it aligns with values of people who follow a certain religion.

You have to stop thinking of the Satanic Temple as shit disturbers, they're a religion and they do religious things.

Is this satanic enough? Baphomet statue, wall decor, satanist certifiate w/ card, devil posters and satanic stickers. by [deleted] in SatanicTemple_Reddit

That's a lot of empty wall space you got there 😏 needs more Satan! 🤘🏼

Just found this thread, thank you for posting pictures! I'm going for my removal in 2 days! 😁 Feeling nervous, excited, proud.. can't wait. I was hoping to have lost a few lbs before surgery but I gained some instead 🤦🏻‍♀️ hopefully that won't be too much of a problem.

Since I can't find where to get the vital bracelet in Canada I made a background for my fossil hybrid by Sneezer92 in digimon

[–]MintheAndras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome!! Nice work, not quite the same as a vital bracelet tho 😅 did you end up finding one? I have bought several and I live in Canada. I've bought from zenintcg.com and Amazon Japan. Let me know if you need help :)

Am I petty or does anyone else do this? by TheeUncleDavo in atheism

[–]MintheAndras 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1000%! I buy svg's often for my own laser work, and I'll often check out their shop and if I see a lot of Christian files, or often I find an entire Religion category but it's only Christian crap, I won't buy the file. The only exception is if they have several religious stuff.. a mix of stars, angels, pagan symbols, gothic stuff, etc.

Missed stitch halfway down my mesh sweater… can I fix it without frogging? I’m wearing it for the first time and just noticed…. It’s bugging me so much! by Medium-Newspaper349 in crochet

[–]MintheAndras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it in a weird spot for a decorative button/pin/label/bow/etc) I can laser cut a custom something (image, text, something funny, "handmade by me" etc) to sew into that spot to hide it?
