More Proof the Devil Is a Democrat: Satanic Group Supports Abortion

Posted on Comments

Planned Parenthood’s gruesome trade in dead baby parts is not the only evidence of the abortion industry’s ghastly evil:

The New York-based “Satanic Temple” is filing a federal lawsuit against Missouri, claiming that state laws restricting abortion violate their “free exercise” of Satanism.
The suit identifies abortion as an essential religious duty for Satanists.
Missouri’s “informed consent” law educates women about the facts of abortion and what’s going on inside her body, and its 72-hour waiting period between initial contact and the major surgery of abortion is intended to give mothers time to think the information over before having irreversible, elective surgical procedure.
The individual that the Satanists are using to bring their lawsuit, “Mary Doe,” went to the St. Louis Planned Parenthood pregnant, and submitted a letter stating that her religious beliefs in Satanism require no informed consent and no waiting period before abortion. . . .
The rise of Satanism among pro-abortionists includes a group of abortion supporters chanted “Hail Satan!” at the Texas statehouse last July, during debate on abortion restrictions. In another instance, a Planned Parenthood supporter who disrupted a city council meeting, yelling, “All Hail Satan” as he was escorted out. . . .
Satanic Temple founder Doug Mesner told Detroit’s Metro Times that he would like to help abolish pro-life laws on the basis of Satanic religious beliefs. He added that gay “marriage” is a Satanic “sacrament.”

Demonic madness grips their evil minds: “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth” (II Thessalonians 2:11-12 KJV), because they “became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened . . . God gave them over to a reprobate mind” (Romans 1:21, 28 KJV).

Often we find that the “sophisticated” reader is made uncomfortable by this kind of chapter-and-verse citation, because the educated reader expects to encounter only secular rationalism in public discourse. People actually become offended: “How dare you quote that King James stuff at me?” Yet you see how the prophetic authority of the Bible is revealed, because everything keeps happening as the Bible foretells it.

The delusions of those who “believed not the truth” are leading them to destruction. As “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven” (Romans 1:18 KJV), it condemns not only the satanic wickedness of those who celebrate the abortion holocaust, but also our nation as a whole comes under God’s judgment. Our apathy and corruption leads us to tolerate this blood-soaked injustice, making possible this evil in our midst.

Becoming complicit by our silence, we also are at risk of “strong delusion.” Surrounded by cruelty, perversion and dishonesty — so common we scarcely even notice it — life in this sin-filled society presents us with another danger against which the Bible prophetically warns: Even many Christians become confused by “profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called” (I Timothy 6:20-21 KJV) and will be deceived (Matthew 24:24 KJV).

“Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. . . . He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that — do not listen.”
— The Exorcist (1973)

There is no need to exaggerate the danger, because the danger now is so great that it is impossible to exaggerate it. Satan is among us and the Devil knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12 KJV). Spending the past year and a half researching radical feminism, I have seen over and over the reality of this hideous evil: Young feminists delight in blasphemy even as they are consumed in the suffering of deranged madness.

Everywhere we look now, we see people gripped by “strong delusion.” Contemplating the phenomenon of feminist witchcraft — no, seriously, I’m not making this up — I explained the movement’s history in the final chapter of Sex Trouble:

Women’s Studies professors were among those who promoted this modern revival of witchcraft. On Mother’s Day 1989, Boston University professor Mary Daly organized a theatrical event she called “The Witches Return” which concluded with the assembled cast on stage chanting, “Power to the witch and to the woman in me!”

Crazy? Of course, it’s crazy, but the lunatics who believe this are esteemed professors, and their evil madness is part of the university curriculum. It’s actually in textbooks now.

“In the early twenty-first century, many women participate in revivals of ancient woman-centered religions. . . Wicca, or witchcraft . . . is a Goddess- and nature-oriented religion whose origins predate both Judaism and Christianity. Current Wiccan practice involves the celebration of the feminine, connection with nature, and the practice of healing. As Wiccan practitioner Starhawk suggests, witchcraft encourages women to be strong, confident, independent and to love the Goddess, the earth, and other human beings.”
— Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee, Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions (fifth edition, 2012)

Do you see that this is not some kind of marginal “extreme” feminism? These women are not obscure figures — they are both tenured professors on the faculty of the department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Oregon State University — and their book is not a shabby project published by a fringe radical cult. Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions is published by McGraw-Hill, which calls it a “leading introductory women’s studies reader.” On the back cover of this 677-page textbook is praise from Utah State University professor Camille Odell, who calls Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions “my top choice for my introductory class in women and gender.” A brand-new copy of the sixth edition sells for $123.42 at Amazon, where it is ranked the #2 bestseller in Gender Studies textbooks and #16 in Feminist Theory.

Are we surprised that the Satanic Temple is campaigning for abortion rights in America, when feminist professors have made witchcraft part of the curriculum at state universities? As I struggled to make sense of this, a famous Old Testament commandment came to mind: “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil . . . therefore choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:15, 19, KJV). And that’s why I concluded Sex Trouble with this paragraph:

We must choose life and, having made our choice, we must pray for divine protection in our struggle against the forces of Death and Evil. You may not believe in witchcraft, but the witches do. And when feminists gather in their covens, you can be sure that they are not praying to the God of Life and Good.

Be afraid, America. Be very afraid.

  1. This involves more than disagreements over who is a Vikings fan and who is a Packers fan.

    I believe abortion is murder. They believe it is a sacrament. There’s no point in looking at anything beyond that.

  2. Some of them yes.

    There were others involved though. And once it got to the U.S., there were many people who weren’t in it to get noticed.

    I’m pretty sure you don’t know everyone involved. We’ve already established that there is at least one major figure you don’t know.

  4. I’d suggest that people talk to some who currently follow that path rather than someone who criticizes it.

    But hey, that’s just me.

    From some of the things that happened about a decade ago, I suspect the “movers and shakers” you refer to are less influential than they believe.

  5. “I’m the smartest person in the room, so what does it matter if I come across as a pretentious, arrogant know-it-all-who-knows-nowt?”

  9. “They believe it is a sacrament.”

    Who? RSM referred to at least three separate groups.

    I can tell you now that not all Wiccans feel like that. And not all Democrats either. I don’t know that many Satanists so I can’t say there.

    You’re accusing different groups of the same attitude and behavior.

  13. Rather then get into a discussion of your bona fides, I just want to point out that just because you knew some doesn’t mean you know all.

    Would you want all Christians judged by the examples of Bill Clinton, Al Sharpton, and Fred Phelps?

  15. Pretty much. When they visit I don’t shove my beliefs down their throat but some agree with me politically so they read my commentaries.

  17. Sounds better than most situations I know.

    I just don’t think it’s polite to denounce someone’s beliefs without at least letting them speak for themselves. It’s why I do the reluctant advocate thing.

  18. When salvation and eternity is at stake it is a kindness to tell people the truth. And at least I can do it with some authority

  20. Well, that’s something that you and I won’t agree on anytime soon.

    Still, I think there are things that I think we can agree on. Don’t murder. Don’t injure. Don’t steal. Don’t wreck things that don’t belong to you. Play nice with others.

    And try to leave the place a little nicer than when you found it.

  21. You have a point as a lot of those folks read and went to lectures at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles They also left out Manly P Hall.

  25. There was also a side group consisting of Israel Regardie Dave Kennedy Louis Culling and Grady Louis McMurtry

  26. Why should you have all the fun?

    Look, I told you how your affectations, your word choices were leaving an unfavorable impression. You rejected that, giving yet more evidence that you do believe that you are the smartest person in the room. Furthermore, you’re also giving off strong vibes that you’re really not here to discuss, but rather to pontificate and sound profound and pat yourself on the back for being so much more enlightened than the rest of us. You dismiss the arguments, evidence, and personal experience of others here with handwaving and bloviation with no substance. (Still waiting for your exegisis of 2 Corinthians 6:14 and Mark 12:31.)

    If you don’t want to leave that impression, then may I suggest that you try, for just a few moments, a little humility?

  27. My own experience started later. My “pagan” contacts were limited for quite a while. Part of it was geography, it took the web to fix that.

  28. There is something about SoCal everyone knows everyone no matter how famous or connected.

    No web in 70’s but that didn’t seem to matter we all found each other. At Fred Adams house on Fridays nights

  29. Those three groups being:
    Satanists — they are the ones who brought the suit in question, are they not?
    Feminist witches — Cite some who aren’t rabid supporters of abortion on demand, if you can.
    Democrats — Yes, there have been a few who oppose abortion on demand. They hold NO positions of power in the party; on the contrary, they are viewed as anathema by the rest of the party.

  31. Feminist witches are a different group than Wiccans. There is overlap yes.

    Frankly I’m not going to defend RadFems, but nor do I think that all feminists are RadFems. Nor do I think that the feminist “leadership” is defining where the movement is going. I know some self-described feminists who do not support abortion. They aren’t “public figures” and they take guff because of their belief.

    Judging by Obama’s actions, I’d say that the national Republican leadership has effectively cut out the everyday conservative. Remarkably like your description of dissenting Democrats.

  32. I’m not the smartest guy in the room. There are subjects I know nothing about. Professional sports for example, I’ve never understood the appeal so I’ve never dug into it. I’ve never served with the military so I have only the vaguest idea of what that involves. These are also subjects I don’t usually discuss.

    I do know about prejudice though. I’ve seen that my entire life and I’ve tried to fight it when I can. I’ve routinely seen entire groups of people dismissed. You’d be surprised how many Amerindians are dismissed because of how they look because people never look beyond the label. After a while, you recognize the mindset.

  33. Years ago I wrote that I’d rather deal with conservatives than liberals. You could trust conservatives to be up front. You could trust them to keep their word. And you could trust them to be mostly willing to talk.

    That hasn’t changed.

    What disturbs me is not so much what you believe as how you treat folks not directly aligned with your beliefs.

    I won’t kid you. I think the stuff is going to hit the fan and it’s going to get terrifyingly bad before it gets better.

    I would prefer the survivors to be people I can trust. I’ve no love for Christianity, I think Christians are nicer and more effective when they aren’t the only game around.

  34. I’ll admit that the Bible verse thing annoys me. If I’m not Christian, I’m not bound by your beliefs.

    (And yes, I know you’ll tell me it’s TRUTH and not your beliefs)

    See, I’m not here for the Grand Crusade. I don’t care if Christianity “wins” or not. There are things that I agree with conservatives are worth fighting for.

    I don’t think alternative sexualities should be taught in public schools.

    But I don’t think lesbian teachers should be banished as sex offenders either. Unless they messed with the kids…

  35. I don’t think Christianity should be banished from the “public square.” But I don’t think that Christianity should exclusively be in the public square either.

    I’ve a big problem with people being treated as labels rather than individuals. If a person crosses the line, by all means let’s make them accountable.

    If a person crosses the line, you can’t make their faith/ethic/political group responsible.

  37. You’re ignorant. The 1A forbids an establishment of religion by the State — and definitive statements about the non-existence of the soul are religious, dumbass.

    ETA: The Constitution was written to allow Colonies of different Christian sects to work together. Don’t like it? Move out of the USA.

  38. You clearly don’t know the difference between a religion and a Church, nor the historical context of the Constitution as it was written. You are possibly also a computer. This is human stuff, so shut up.

  39. You have no social awareness. You are, in fact, disqualified from discussions of how our society should be ordered.

  40. SJWs always lie, they always double down, and they always project.

    Oh noes, non-SJWs have finally figured out how to use our social media tactics! To the fainting couches!!

  43. Because there is nothing Satanic about a celebration of all sorts of perversions as a fundraiser sponsored by the “Church of All Worlds” a pagan religion based on the book Stranger in a Strange Land.

  44. I don’t give a rats fuzzy behind what myths you wish to delude yourself with. The 1st amendment does not in anyway support a right to murder a child. So leave the country. China is nice this time of year and they don’t mind killing kids. Just like you.

  48. Get Educated Moron:
    Paine went on to give his opinion of religion:
    “I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.
    But, lest it should be supposed that I believe in many other things in addition to these, I shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things I do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
    I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
    All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.”
    “An unjust composition never fails to contain error and falsehood. Therefore an unjust connection of ideas is not derived from nature, but from the imperfect composition of man. Misconnection of ideas is the same as misjudging, and has no positive existence, being merely a creature of the imagination; but nature and truth are real and uniform; and the rational mind by reasoning, discerns the uniformity, and is thereby enabled to make a just composition of ideas, which will stand the test of truth. But the fantastical illuminations of the credulous and superstitious part of mankind, proceed from weakness, and as far as they take place in the world subvert the religion of REASON, NATURE and TRUTH.”
    The founding of the United States of America took place in 1787 with the signing of the Constitution, which is a purely secular document. In relation to religion the Constitution states:
    Article VI: Clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
    The Bill Of Rights was quickly amended to the Constitution in order to protect the rights of citizens because the original Constitution primarily just defined the powers of government. The third Article of the Bill of Rights (which became the first amendment) states:
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
    There is often debate about what exactly the First Amendment means, however, in an 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists, Thomas Jefferson made clear that the purpose of the First Amendment was to establish a “wall of separation” between Church and State in order to protect individuals’ right of conscience:
    Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
    There are four references to a deity found in the Declaration of Independence, which was primarily co-authored by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, both friends of Thomas Paine. Those phrases are: “Nature’s God,” “Creator,” “Supreme Judge,” and “Divine Providence.” Specifically, the Declaration starts out:
    When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
    The Declaration of Independence clearly asserts earthly authority, the words “Laws of Nature” are even capitalized. In addition to reading the usage of the word God in context, it is also important to understand the Declaration in its own historical context. Furthermore, Benjamin Franklin was a self-declared Deist and it was he who made the final edits to the document.
    When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, ’tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
    – Benjamin Franklin: in letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780
    My parents had early given me religious impressions, and brought me through my childhood piously in the Dissenting [Protestant] way. But I was scarce fifteen, when, after doubting by turns of several points, as I found them disputed in the different books I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself. Some books against Deism fell into my hands; they were said to be the substance of sermons preached at Boyle’s Lectures. It happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations; in short, I soon became a thorough deist.
    – Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, 1793
    History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
    — President Thomas Jefferson: in letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813
    Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting “Jesus Christ,” so that it would read “A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;” the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.
    -Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom
    If we did a good act merely from the love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? It is idle to say, as some do, that no such thing exists. We have the same evidence of the fact as of most of those we act on, to wit: their own affirmations, and their reasonings in support of them. I have observed, indeed, generally, that while in Protestant countries the defections from the Platonic Christianity of the priests is to Deism, in Catholic countries they are to Atheism. Diderot, D’Alembert, D’Holbach, Condorcet, are known to have been among the most virtuous of men. Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than love of God.
    — President Thomas Jefferson: in letter to Thomas Law, June 13, 1814
    Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person’s life, freedom of religion affects every individual. State churches that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the “wall of separation between church and state,” therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.
    We have solved … the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries.
    – President Thomas Jefferson: in a speech to the Virginia Baptists (1808)
    If Religion be not within the cognizance of Civil Government how can its legal establishment be necessary to Civil Government? What influence in fact have ecclesiastical establishments had on Civil Society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the Civil authority; in many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny: in no instance have they been seen the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty, may have found an established Clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just Government instituted to secure & perpetuate it needs them not. Such a Government will be best supported by protecting every Citizen in the enjoyment of his Religion with the same equal hand which protects his person and his property; by neither invading the equal rights of any Sect, nor suffering any Sect to invade those of another.
    – James Madison; Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, 1785
    Furthermore, in 1797, in an attempt to establish peaceful relations with Muslims off the Northern Coast of Africa (an attempt that failed and led to the Barbary Wars), the Treaty of Tripoli was ratified by the Senate. Article 11 of the treaty states:
    As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

  49. Trespasser, been there, done that with Neo. He doesn’t care about the facts, just that universe he’s constructed in that infinite space between his ears. No matter what facts you present or adduce, he will ignore anything that does not fit his provincial worldview. You’re wasting your time with him.

  50. More evidence you’re a preening fool. If you think posting stupidity is going to impress, you are correct, but not in the way you wish to impress.

    If you don’t care for the facts of life, this is not a “safe space” for you.
