Is anyone else here a member? Or considering membership? I joined last year, and it has been very rewarding. For me at least. The campaigns they engage in are things that I 100% support. I have felt a sense of community since joining, and even joined the local (unofficial) chapter. There are 7 tenets as outlined by TST. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward 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 one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. 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. 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. Personally I feel that the tenets show a lot of wisdom. I have my own personal tenets (14 to be exact) but I also apply these to everyday life. If anyone is interested the here is the link to The Satanic Temple. There is a whole host of information there about the org.
