I think the birds aren’t real people have it all wrong.
Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic “birds” to begin with?
Clearly it’s just a distraction from the real harsh truth.

I didn’t know that. There is also LineageOS that supports a wider range of phones.

Just switch to GrapheneOS or Linux at this point.

Good riddance. I hate convos that are just a long list of useless gifs rather than actual comprehensible text messages. I don’t want giant images with half my screen moving to accompany each of your three-word texts.
Those are overused, overstimulating, and make conversations dumb.

And the social contract accepts that cars kill pedestrians and cyclists every once in a while for the sake of efficiency. It’s dangerous, it’s legalized murder, and we choose to accept it.
That’s why it’s dangerous to cross the street.

I’m always amazed to think that my life sometimes only holds to a red light and the car people’s willingness to obey the law. If either were missing, only their will to keep their car clean could save me.

That must have been a lot of questions!

As long as he repents he should be fine.

In Canada, chiropractors need a 5-years diploma and to be member of a professional order to have the title. When the profession is protected it doesn’t turn into a scam industry.

Non-fungible Os

They said goodbye at a given position and are then leaving each in a different direction. They start to move at the same time from the same point.

Well, my culture is uniquer because it’s built on classism and wars against religions!

Where in Canada? Never heard of it, and I always assumed english canadians would follow the US on that kind of things.

French people are so bad at speaking english that those who can manage want to show it off at every opportunity.
But in Montréal, it’s more a matter of an inferiority complex from french speakers. And the habit to be forced to speak english with those who don’t want to learn french.

Yeah, no, I’m not duckduckgoing that.

Well, here and now, with the original comment asking to join them. I do have some anecdotes but they aren’t really relevant here, I guess.

Here is the CRA rule and the IRS one
Both state that “advancement of religion” is a requirement, which is quite close to proselytizing (promoting and manifesting religious belief).
The thing is that both countries were funded by christian people, so their definition of religion is biased towards it, so you can’t really have an individualistic religion like satanism be recognized.
We can also note that Canada is discriminating against non-theistic religions and asks quite explicitly to “support and maintain missions and missionaries to propagate the faith”. Canada is still a religious state, after all.

Proselytization refers to trying to convert someone to a religion, which they don’t do.

They do claim it’s a religion. It is legally a religion. When they are recruiting, it is proselytism. Also, proselytism is part of the definition of a church in most countries, that is why, for instance, the Church of Satan is not legally a church in the US, because they do not proselytize. By their own saying and by the government, TST is a religion and they do proselytize.

Where did I say they are a non-profit?

You said it is just an NGO. I mean, yeah, but you could say that about pretty much anything. But clearly there is something more to it than the average NGO, with them being both a church and a couple for-profit organizations.

They did try to put a baphomet statue in front of a 10 commandments monument in Arkansas. They are fighting for a plurality of religion, not secularism.
If I wanted to contribute to a secular cause, I would much rather contribute to a secular organization to begin with.

TST does not proselytize

But the only times you hear of them is when people are trying to get more folk implied (or when they send a lawsuit, but that’s an other story). TST plays the card of a non profit when they don’t want to be associated with religious weirdos, and the card of religion when they want a special treatment. In the end it’s a knockoff religion that hijacked the name “satanism” while replicating what they denounce of christians.

Fire is bad so we need to recruit more firefighters to fight it.

It’s much closer to putting up advertisement against advertisement.

They are just an NGO.

That’s not true. It’s a bunch of for-profit organizations coupled with a recognized nonprofit church so they can be exempted from taxation. See here : https://the.satanic.wiki/index.php/The_Satanic_Wiki . Also, as a supposedly non-profit org, they do not disclose their financial information, which is usually a big red flag.

As a discordian, I’ll fight you until I get bored.

OK, that’s enough for today.
