SatanCon 2023

[Shaul]

Anyone going?

Boston's SatanCon expected to be largest ever gathering of Satanists

 

[The Hammer]

Wish I could make it. But sadly it's across the country.

I was looking for something to do that weekend, but alas it's sold out.

Would you sell your soul to get a ticket? The head guy might cut you a deal.

That ol' thing's been gone for years.

 

[Father Heathen]

Sounds like wholesome fun.

Btw, here are the tenets of the convention organizers:

I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
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.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
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.

Good for the Satanists and their religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

What could make it worse for Christian conservatives? That there are likely gay, trans, and even non-white Satanists. They must be having a fit.

If they held a satanic orgy:

Alas, I do not have a soul. Nothing to sell. Do atheists have a soul?

In Salem Massachusetts where the Temple is located. The news networks showed most all dressed as demons.

 

[Shaul]

"Here comes SatanCon, here comes SatanCon, right down SatanCon Lane...."

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Good luck to them, but I wouldn't go if it was next door, and tickets were free.

 

[Sand Dancer]

I admit I am curious.

 

[Father Heathen]

Good luck to them, but I wouldn't go if it was next door, and tickets were free.

Why not? It sounds like a fun time.

 

[Viker]

I wish. But I am busy. And it's all the way up in Massachusetts. I probably am missing out. It seems like a good thing. Maybe next year.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Alas, I do not have a soul. Nothing to sell. Do atheists have a soul?

I have a complete set and even a few extras. How much cash do you have?

 

[Aupmanyav]

Why should I buy a thing that I can do without?

 

[Soandso]

It's on the other side of the country, but I bet it'll be fire

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Why not? It sounds like a fun time.

Me and religion...we struggle to understand each other.
I'll go to humour others, but rarely by choice. But if I did, this wouldn't be high on my list. I find secular humanism a little too much lipstick on the pig. Satanism? Naaaah...

But good luck to them. I have no issues with it apart from personal preference on how I like spending my time.
