I always appreciate the devil's advocate approach that the Satanists use in these cases that freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion.

I think you will find that the Satanic Temple is a 💯% serious legitimate religion and as such its members are entitled to the full and equal protection of the law.

Of course, they're far more than a simple parody religion like the church of the flying spaghetti monster but typically, they're fighting against Christian ideals being forced upon people that don't want them.

If you want to know what the Washington D.C experience is like these days under the Trump administration, any given day can look like this:


http://wtop.com/dc-transit/2017/09/juggalos-rallies-lots-traffic-headaches-weekend/

Juggalos, a pro Trump rally, an anti Trump rally, an airshow, and a Latino cultural festival.

God forbid you plan to drive your car and try to park somewhere in this insanity, just stay home.

I heard the same thing (about it being canceled). They saw that the Juggalos were coming and turned tail.

I doubt the pro-Trump rally, even if it's still happening, would be more than a handful of people. The last one they had in DC was like twenty participants and forty journalists.

Edited to add: you didn't mention the march to support people with hydrocephalus!

I'm not sure how to feel about bits of Paedogeddon any more. You get all this stuff about cover-ups of child sex abuse by powerful men or stuff like Rotherham etc. It's got lots of very funny lines ("Like many of his kind, North was required to leave school after passing exams and took a job delivering potatoes; a perfect cover for a serial robe-invader") but there's one or two bits that make me uncomfortable (the bit about the kid being launched into space with Sidney Cooke by accident because there's nothing really very funny about a child being left alone with Sidney Cooke). :shrug:

I agree that there are some parts that make you feel uncomfortable.

However, I think it is best to consider this some kind of humour performance piece: the real heart of this was the media frenzy that surrounded it, rather than the content itself.

You had people condemning it on public TV and unashamedly admitting that they hadn't actually seen it.

He's an interesting fellow, that's for sure. Dude was a WW2 combat Ace who's legs had been amputated because of hotdogging prior to the war's outbreak. He had regrettable political views, but did much for the handcapped and disabled after the war. He also had a reputation for extremely salty language.

When he was a POW in Germany:

quote:

Over the next few years, Bader made himself a thorn in the side of the Germans. He often practised what the RAF personnel called "goon-baiting". He considered it his duty to cause as much trouble to the enemy as possible, much of which included escape attempts. He made so many escape attempts that the Germans threatened to take away his legs.
