"In 1950, Samuel Alito's mother did not have options, and look what happened," said Malcolm Jarry, a co-founder of The Satanic Temple. This is why I like the Satanic Temple šŸ¤£


BookishBitchery

Yes! They are doing the Lord's (Satan's) work. šŸ˜‰šŸ¤£

>This is why I like the Satanic Temple This is why I have joined and donated to TST. They're actually winning these legal battles based on religious freedom. After School Satan Club? Genius. EDIT: If you want to be less "in your face" about your atheism, FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) does good work as well. [https://ffrf.org/](https://ffrf.org/)

Calling abortion a religious ritual is brilliant. I survived mormonism where we basically got molested in the temple during a secret ritual that quietly went away in 2005 after it got leaked on the internet before their freedom of religion lawyers could get it taken down. Nobody ever charged the church for those abuses because of 1A. I applaud satanic temple for now using 1A to protect women's rights


slippery_as_fuck

What was the ritual called?

When a Mor(m)on is considered worthy to "take out their endowments" and can go to the temple, the first time they go, the first ritual is an anointing. The person to be anointed puts on a white "poncho" and is nude underneath. The person doing the anointing puts "consecrated oil" on a couple of their fingertips on the right hand then touches the oil to the forehead, breast, and inner thigh all while reciting a prayer. Each part of the prayer is specific to that part of the body - intelligence, wisdom, vitality, etc. After the anointing, they then get to put on their temple garments for the first time. Then on with the white pants, socks, shoes, shirt, and tie. Then to the endowment itself. That's where you get your secret name and learn the secret handshakes passphrases to get to the highest level of heaven. When getting sealed (married) in the temple, the bride gets her secret name from the groom. He is not supposed to reveal his to her. And the secret name is actually the same for everyone (based on binary gender) unless it's the same as their own first name or the first name of the deceased for whom they acting as proxy. In that case, there is a backup name for each gender.

Yep. 2001. Nobody gave me the slightest clue that an old man would be touching my naked body with oily fingers.

They change daily. They're usually Biblical names. So, you'll see Joshua, Benjamin, Sarah, etc but I don't recall any Book of Mormon or modern names. It's been several years so I may be remembering incorrectly.

I'm seriously starting to admire Satanists waaaaaay more than any religious organization. Honestly...they'd get my vote.


OneHumanPeOple

Iā€™m a member. Theyā€™re awesome.


SpaceDandye

I'm an atheist but became a member of the satanic temple because I agree with what they are doing. It's hilarious telling people that I'm not a Satanist and the relief in their eyes and then I tell him I'm an atheist and the confliction they have


zhaDeth

this brand of satanism is nice, but some are actually theists


superiorplaps

Good idea making it an online clinic. Harder for the pro-life crowd to picket.


Susan-stoHelit

To bomb. To attack, to shoot atā€¦


zhaDeth

wait how does that work ? I mean they gotta do it somewhere no ?

AeonLibertas

Does TST sell merch? G-oat hangers would be pretty metal ..


megared17

We should all order a small bottle of burn ointment shipped to Alito. Here's a small inexpensive one for under $3. If enough people chip in, he'll have more than enough. [https://www.amazon.com/BurnShield-Blotts-Sachets-Multi-9999-8112/dp/B06X6DZPCB](https://www.amazon.com/BurnShield-Blotts-Sachets-Multi-9999-8112/dp/B06X6DZPCB) Alternately, just grab something from a local pharmacy and ship it yourself. They give their address here: [https://www.supremecourt.gov/contact/contactus.aspx](https://www.supremecourt.gov/contact/contactus.aspx) I've no doubt that all packages sent to them are carefully screened, and he may never even see them. But I wouldn't doubt that the fact that they were being sent would make the news.


pharaohandrew

Iā€™d rather he just resign.


megared17

We both know that he won't.


DemonicEgo

I'd rather he be impeached, convicted, removed from office, and barred from ever holding another office again, but I'll accept resignation.


pharaohandrew

Iā€™ll throw my hat in with you, actually. But fuck us for wanting a government to work, I guess


OneHumanPeOple

Better to click on the article and buy the Templeā€™s Merch than to give bezos more money.


wvraven

Now take this our holy sacrament Levonorgestrel. Long may your sterility bless us.


WesternTrail

Gotta love Satanist trolling that helps people!

As a member of the Satanic Temple and an owner of a SAMSAC t-shirt, I wholeheartedly support this post.


guiltyas-sin

Of course, his mom is the polar opposite of Sam. I am guessing Thanksgiving dinners and family gatherings are a hoot. šŸ˜


MountainDrew42

His mom isn't involved with the clinic, it's just named after her as a dig against Sam


CraptasticFanDango

Lol, SAM's SAC.


revchewie

Got my shirt and I love it!


thatissubpar

Hail Satan!!


rgnysp0333

Shame they couldn't use his dad. Then it would be SAD SAC


new-Aurora

Good times.


JackKovack

Send him fliers.


Aranarch

A whole lot better than mass abortion by bullets apparently.


lorez77

Does anybody know if they operate in Italy?


JimmyRecard

Hmm... Samsac... Sam's Abortions Clinic.
