Anyone knowledgeable with this? I guess its not like the Church of Satan. It seems really level headed? For lack of a better word.

Quote :

"The Mission Of The Satanic Temple Is To Encourage Benevolence And Empathy, Reject Tyrannical Authority, Advocate Practical Common Sense, Oppose Injustice, And Undertake Noble Pursuits."

7 tenets

Quote :

"I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV 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. V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word."

1st quote box and 2nd quote box both seem really common sense to me, at least it makes me want to learn more.

Am I missing something?

yeah check out this documentary "Hail Satan?" from 2019

I went to a few NC Friends of TST meetings. Like anything, there's in-fighting. Then I got kind of disillusioned from the group when there were some scandals regarding TST figure-head Lucien Greaves. I'm not involved in any way but, from what I saw, there were some well-meaning people involved. It is leftie edgelord shit, though. Sometimes provocative actions are what it takes to shed light on important topics.

^thank you! Will check it out. I don't think in dallas actually. In austin, san antonio, and houston. I guess they know not to fuck around here or something

I feel like the website is fine, but the trailer talks a lot about satan, which is kind of off putting(same reason christianity is kind of off putting too)

StTexan if you're looking for a cult to join I got you covered. Mine has zero percent infighting AND zero percent leftie edgelord shit.

[Edited on January 19, 2026 at 8:30 PM. Reason : it's more of a religion than a cult tbh but hey dues are low]

Is it closer to the trailer snewf posted or closer to the quotes I posted? Quotes I posted sounded kind of rooted in science and being an athiest. Snewfs video was too Satan-centric

Either way I am totally down to read their website etc, feel free to share here or in PM

Phill really disappointed in me rn lol

Cult sounds kind of negative also

It looks like you said Sunday is the Lords day, but you didn't specify which Lord.
