dawg, i'm not even satanist, i'm literally an atheist for [censored]'s sake. but like, all i'm saying is that it's lowkenuinely kinda unfair for raven to hint at it being controversial when there's nothing wrong with it :P

(I meant I can smell raven's bias /hj)

st4tic

Can we just stop derailing ts bro 💔 why can't we just respect other people's religions 🌹

Edit: uhmmmm posted this a lil late, but my point still stands-

This would generally be considered a controversial topic.

Modern-day Satanism, especially organizations like The Satanic Temple, falls under religion and social/political ideology, which are inherently sensitive discussion areas.

I wasn't necessarily saying it wasn't allowed. However, if we wanted to, it could technically fall under the religious talks rule. Most of JesusLovesYou's posts are warmhearted and aren't necessarily looking for discussion, while this thread here seems rather discussion-based.

I heavily agree with static, i dont see how this topic was controversial, we should be allowed to share and talk about our own religion freely, there should be nothing controversial because their should be mutual respect for others beliefs, you dont believe or support it? Ok good for you but don’t criticize or demote others because of there beliefs

@Raven
Why does Jesuslovesyou get a pass? How is christianity not a social ideology? It's embarrassing to see rules enforced, or threatened to be enforced, so obscurely. It really is. If religious talks are against forum rules you shouldn't have let anyone do it from the start instead of letting your bias cloud your decisions.
I highly doubt that all the non-christians on this site see Jesuslovesyou's posts as heartwarming.
I'm not being hostile in this post, I'm not trying to force myself on anyone else, I'm just sharing my religion in an honest and civil way.

YOU'RE the one making this topic controversial.

@Raven Honestly I feel like that rule needs changed- I was gonna ask about it, people should be allowed to at least DISCUSS controversial topics, so long as nobody is fighting and it's all debate, isn't that what we want? People to disagree and discuss topics? We shouldn't allow fighting, if things get heated and become less intellectual and more personal, then yeah, cut it, but banning discussion/debate defeats the purpose of a forum. Forums are made to discuss and share interests and information right?

st4tic

I totally agree TwT This is a forum after all???

But I don't mean to derail your post, Satanism is misunderstood and this awareness post will help spread information since our userbase is primarily teenagers

Thank you!

st4tic

W wolfie once again :fire: and yeah this post isn't even making anyone uncomfortable, it's just listing satanism's values :sob: (which i totally support btw!!)

@NightmareWolfie i think that was part of the reason behind this post ToT satanism is really misunderstood and calling it “controversial” goes to show that the stereotype is there so I think this post was good because it’s shedding light to the truth

@misomisomiso You misunderstand why it was called that, religious DISCUSSION is against the rules, not the topic itself, it's the fact it's a religious belief

MahiMahi

@NightmareWolfie im all for understanding thay yeah b iut way i find wrong is how the rule doesnt apply to everyone because @JesusLovesYou posts his all the time and hasnt been told anyrhing, so im all for respecting the rules but the rules have to apply to everyone

That's completely up to you.

As @BritishUnity stated, that guy has been warned on numerous occasions.
