I´m not Satan, bro. Promise, bro. I look like him, sure, but that´s all a misunderstanding, bro. Cloven hoofs, horns, black wings, a pentagram tatooed on my forehead, I promise that has nothing to do with Satanism, bro. I know, the Satanic Temple used my august form to provoke the Xians, but that was just trolling, I promise I´m Baffomeh bro, Baffomeh I say, you can call me Baffy, bro!
As If Bro! I had to look up Xians! Not daoists! Just a Goofy Sunday rant I suppose....what? To polarize the blog world? Asking for a fiend, er, friend.
ReplyDeleteThere are two things about Satanism that I found rather funny. One is that so many people (including atheists) un-ironically say that the Satanic Temple´s statue doesn´t show Satan but Baphomet. Which is technically true, but of course the real reason why the Temple uses this particular iconography is (of course) that everyone assumes its the Devil. Note also the name of the organization: SATANIC Temple.
ReplyDeleteThe other is that defectors from the Temple accuse it of not really being politically progressive...but why expect a group that uses Satanist imagery of being progressive in the first place?! So I couldn´t resist this little rant...
"Baffy" is an adorable toy sold by an atheist influencer on YouTube named Emma Thorne, LOL.
