Correct, but modern Christians take issue with it because they've been conditioned to hate it. The true sheep of society is the religious right wing. The book is definitely sick.

Compare the Ten Commandments with the 7 tenets of the satanic temple. I'm going with Satan every time.

Or the Pastafarian's "I’d Really Rather"

I used to dabble in the noodly appendages but I was put-off how serious people seemed to be taking the whole thing.
That's how things always start: the initial group makes a joke, the second group pretends to follow it, and then later down the line people actually buy-in. It's essentially the 4Chan playbook.

That's something I've always though. That "thunder is a god fighting the frost giants" started as a joke. Like many other religions.

Yeah, probably, tbh.

Wow those are written pretty solidly

been a long time since I read the book, but didn't the original tenets include a bunch of edgy language like destroying anyone who encroached on your freedom? This reads like it has been sterilized.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, the rallying cry of racist White Christians was interracial marriage. After the Civil Rights Act, churches that openly espoused racism, lost their tax exemption. So they changed the lyrics to their racist war cry and started talking about protecting the unborn. They don't give a shit about children. Look what they say about school lunches, welfare, and medical care. They would happily watch every child in the country starve before they would make a rich man pay taxes.

Hail Satan. Jesus was pretty cool, too when he talked about economics and immigrants.
