The Satanic Temple of Detroit now accepts BTC Donations

[tokeweed]

You can read the tenets of The Satanic Temple here.

Satanism is a really loaded topic, similar to anarchy. It evokes images in our heads due to the stigmas and social conditioning that don't necessarily correspond to the actuality of the idea. Supernaturalism, devil-worship, sacrificing animals, etc. aren't what Satanism is about. That's just what propagandists would have you believe.

"We understand the Satanic figure as a symbol of man’s inherent nature, representative of the eternal rebel, enlightened inquiry and personal freedom rather than a supernatural deity or being."

Satanism is a challenge to dogma. A challenge to the guilt we burden ourselves with for simply being human. A challenge to rise to your fullest potential from within.

I think Satanists should get a publicity drive going about BTC acceptance.  OP, why not post the news to other forums as well.

Working on it bud. I would imagine the other TST chapters will follow suit and add BTC acceptance too.

Also to answer one of your earlier questions about why Satanism instead of "freedom" or "liberty", well for one self-expression, but also The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religion, so they are covered under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This gives TST the ability to use that legislature as a "poison pill" argument to challenge religious bigotry leaking over into the legal system.

LMAO BAHAHAHAHAH oh the rage in this thread from people that HAVE ZERO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!

Before you open your mouth with your wildly inncorrect assumptions do some research.  Most of you look like complete and utter fuck tards.. like super fuck tards. 


Pretty much all of you sound exactly like the people you make fun of for assuming shit about bitcoin, don't call the kettle black bro, do your reasearch before you open your mouth and look like a massive fool.

I did not know that an "official" Satanic Temple existed....

I am quite surprised actually.

Yeah, and they seem to have a thing with gay people.
Is it coz they really care about them or are they trying to take advantage of them to turn them to followers?

I don't give a shit who accepts or uses bitcoin as long as it helps the price go up.

The price won't be impacted by this group accepting bitcoin, It didn't impact the price even when Microsoft, Dell or Overstock accepted bitcoin. So why would the bitcoin acceptance of the Satanic Temple of Detroit affect the bitcoin price ?

[BillyBobZorton]

Is this supossed to be good?
I don't really think so...

Of course it is. I can't only expect all those dumb headlines linking satanism with BTC next, as if we didn't had enough with the other equally stupid "BTC is for druggists and jihadist" and whatever, but whoever doesn't got a brick for a brain knows better.

Do you know a single thing about them or you just assumed?

You're going to feel like an idiot when you actually google what they are about.

I am afraid some of them get taken to a remote cave for a special ceremony. 
Ever wonder what happens to many of the world's missing children? 

[moni3z]

I'll donate if I get to meet some of the cute gothy looking girls who are members
Satanism as in black metal philosophy doesn't have scripture or anything, the point is just to reject orthodoxy by embracing the anti not actually run a church with a hierarchy and silly bunch of rules. Detroit already looks like hell on earth they don't really need a temple the entire city is a purgatory anyway ^^ but kudos to this group for trolling the media into giving them attention hopefully they get some more members and continue scaring the media.

I thought the missing children were the Pied Piper of Hamelin's fault.

[Amph]

as long as it help bitcoin to spread faster, this is welcome, anything is welcome actually

i think they are accepting bitcoin, because they feel more anonymous doing so

now a thing about this has come into my mind...are religions around the world accepting donations in bitcoin too?

[commandrix]

I am actually wondering if the Satanic Temple isn't just responding to some Christians' opinion that Bitcoin is the "Mark of the Beast." But seriously, I think those guys have been doing a decent job of calling the bluff of Christians who are using their positions of authority to indoctrinate innocent kids. (Also see: 666Coin)

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

If you think about it any publicity is good publicity. My first contact with Bitcoin was back in the day when it got on mainstream news thanks to it being liked to drug dealers and whatnot, through the dark net. As long as the Bitcoin name gets out there it will reach the intelligent people that gets involved into it beyond some headlines.

The Satanic Temple?

The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religious organization dedicated to Satanic practice and the promotion of Satanic rights.

It's a non-theistic religious organization.....

Does anyone else see the irony in this?  

[coolcoinz]

This is interesting. Scientology is not doing so well, maybe it's time for the rise of Satanism...
