Hail Satan? Hail Satan?
Why would an organization set forth common sense thoughts, and then praise the
name of some imaginary bogyman? What foolishness!

Here are those seven tenets of the Satanic Temple I said that I would
post. On rereading them they sound more innocuous than I thought when
I first read them, but they do have a lot of implications. This was
copied from the main page of their web site and I did not copy that whole
page.
I found out last night that doing that causes some difficulties.
However, I think you might want to follow the link and look around
their web site. I really didn't know anything about them until I
visited their web site last night, but it turns out that they are
pretty politically progressive and they are tremendously better than
their main rival, the Church of Satan.

There are seven fundamental tenets.
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all
creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that
should prevail over laws and institutions.
One???s body is inviolable, subject to one???s own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to
offend.
To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to
forgo one's own.
Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the
world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit
our beliefs.
People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to
rectify it and remediate any harm that may have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in
action and thought.
The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail
over the written or spoken word.
Hail Satan?
Hail Satan?
