  TST Health has named the facility “The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic.” “In 1950, Samuel Alito’s mother did not have options, and look what happened,”
  Fucking brilliant. >
  
  Nothing oniony about it more like upliftingnews. >
  
  very uplifting. well done TST. but it's a little oniony that it had to come to that. America, where personal reproductive rights can be removed because of some other people's religion but can be brought back by a different ('fake'?) religion. >
  
  TST is just as valid as Christianity. >
  
  Oh, yeah. Totally agree, didn't mean to imply that Christianity was better somehow. I just meant is TsT like the flying spaghetti monster? More like a thought experiment and a tool to show the absurdity of religion than an actual religion? >
  
  Yes but by every objective measure it’s legitimate. That’s the point. How do you prove Christians are true believers? They don’t even listen to their own teachings. >
  
  Exactly, that's all I meant by 'fake' religion. No religion is true, but some 'religions' know that (satanic temple, flying spaghetti, invisible pink unicorn) >
  
  All religions know that. You can't be of sound mind and NOT know it. Religions ae just financially incentivized to never say it. >
  
  I'm not sure, I think lots of people truly believe. It's easy to believe some truly mad things if you are brought up by people who believe it too. Maybe that counts as not being of sound mind, but it's culturally acceptable because lots of people have the same delusion >
  
  Psychiatry  has a name for this type of thinking. Folie a Deux which means psychosis of two or shared psychosis. >

  In 1950 she had no options, and look what happened. >
  
  Honestly tst has always just come across as "totally not" just atheists who want religious rights. But neat that they're doing that ig >
  
  that's exactly what they are, and they're doing a damn good job >
  
  Hail Satan, at least he cares about a womens health. >
  
  well good thing none of it actually exists :) >
  
  I guess we will know in the end. Boy it will suck if you’re wrong though. >
  
  Don’t worry, every member of every other religion that has existed also thinks your wrong. I guess it’s weird how humanity separately came up with different religions in every culture, and Christianity definitely makes more sense than all those other ones…
  Because you have actual evidence to support Christianity, right?… oh yeah, that’s right, it’s a sin to ask for evidence about guiding principles in your life. 
  I’ll go burn with the Jews, Muslims, wrong-type-of-Christians, and every decent person who was born in the wrong culture and time. 
  Praise our benevolent God :), cause your faith is strong. >
  
  I mean the Bible speaks about the other religions and acknowledges them. Most people in the Bible are Jewish. And Jesus was a real person. 
  The gospel is being spread worldwide. More people on more continents are  joint Christianity than ever before. 
  Not a sin to ask question btw. Ask away. God is alive. He is real and you can talk with him. He will work in your life. Just try it. If I am wrong you have nothing to lose. Go to God. Ask him for help in problems with you life. Se the difference and tell me I am wrong then. >
  
  I appreciate the genuine thought, but your logic is asinine. 
  Islam also mentions other religions. How does that make Islam more legitimate? Same for Christianity. 
  “Most of the people in the Bible are Jewish.” Yes. What happens to people who do not believe that Jesus died for there sins?
  John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
  Honestly tell me, where do Jewish people go when they die? Do people who don’t believe in Jesus go to heaven?
  Your pleasant words are just that. God tortures most of humanity for all of eternity. He does not care if you are a good person, a bad person, or a mass murderer. 
  If you believe Jesus died for your sins, will you go to heaven? 
  If you do not, where do you go when you die? 
  That’s not mercy or kindness, that’s narcissistic and horrific. Or am I wrong about people who don’t believe in Jesus?
  
  Finally, why should someone believe in the Christian god over other religions. Any other old book can say sweet things about how the world was made, and many do. God won’t answer anyone directly. “Never test your god.” Never check if god is real, never question why someone’s mom died, a friend got raped, someone got killed by a drunk driver. It’s God’s plan, don’t ask why, of course. >
  
  It’s not a logic though. With enough logic you can disprove anything in our own understanding. But there is a God that lives outside of man’s understanding. 
  I Imagine you are a man of science. I am too. God is likely 4th dimensional, outside of our time and space. While he created all things he also knows all things to come. When things happen, it is part of a perfect plan that has to abide by the free will he has given to us. That’s what let’s us choose to worship him. This is very important in understanding that it is why bad things happen. Adam and Eve chose to denounce God in their action. They chose free will and God allowed that along with any consequences that come with it, so that we may also come to choose him instead of being forced to serve him. If we choose not to and ignore the gospel he doesn’t send us to hell, he just doesn’t let us into heaven. Jokes aside the bible actually says nothing about hell being real, just that Satan and his minion will be thrown into fire. Hell was created by the Catholic Church (Not all Christianity uses the gospel for good, some take advantage of it). Jesus actually predicted these false shepherds. 
  Think about the trillions on trillions of possibilities that can happen at any given decision at any time with any given person, and then take the factor of free will into account. God is powerful enough where he has willed these moments to go in a direction that is his plan. 
  For example, I was groomed and molested for 4 years of my life by a family member. It’s terrible and it haunted me for a long time. God didn’t do that to me. The perpetrator did. There are a million good things in my life that wouldn’t have happened without that trauma. I may not know God, or my wife. I may not have helped people in those same situations and brought them to Christ. We have no idea what ripple effects can happen because the terrible things God allows. 
  I always think about the story of Alan Turing who built the first computer. It was made to decode German code in WW2. Did you know that even after he built it and decoded the first codes he wasn’t able to use it to stop every German attack. Not because he couldn’t but because if he did Germany would figure out he cracked the code and make a new one that would allow them to cause more death and destruction. By targeting specific instances and he helped end the war, even though it meant allowing some German victories and many deaths. 
  I imagine that is how God operates but in a greater and more divine scale. While knowing that many who perish will join him in eternity. So in perspective, how can he be evil?
  So yes, bad things happen. But that is on us. The short time in this world means nothing compared to eternity. >
  
  It sounds like you’re searching for “why” things happen. You then say that they don’t seem to make sense, and that no human can understand why things happen in the world. 
  Your conclusion is that God is real and chooses to do horrible things to people because we can’t understand his ways. 
  Meanwhile, everything makes sense if the world is random. Alan Turing was castrated for being gay and killed himself in the ensuing depression. And you say “it’s God’s plan.”
  People are killed by rapists. Children have there humanity stripped by abuse. That happens in this world. God wants that to happen, since he is all knowing and all powerful. 
  Delusion and desperation. That’s what your logic sounds like. I hate to be blunt, but the world does not look like things happen for a reason. I highly doubt you got molested as part of God’s plan. Why would god want other kids to be molested? 
  To head off some stretches logic, plenty of people lead selfless, fulfilled lives without being raped. 
  You’re an amazingly good person for helping others past trauma, but then saying it’s because of God’s plan is… cherry picking reasons. >
  
  TST doing ~~gods~~ work! >
  
  If this church made it a fundamental part of their religion to have this right... then religious persecution can be brought to any state not allowing it. Turn into a giant class action lawsuit. >
  
  they have never once won anything. or its extremely rare they do. government sees pastafarians as a more legit religion. >

  This is a r/lostredditor, but really, I get why they’d think this. TST is a great org., and they’re one of the many great reasons we’re not a full-on theocracy these days. >

  TST Health has named the facility “The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic.” “In 1950, Samuel Alito’s mother did not have options, and look what happened,” said Malcolm Jarry, the cofounder of TST. 
  
  😭💀
  They’re fucking killing me. This is too good. >
  
  Abortion is legal in New Mexico… >
  
  Well they can’t open a clinic in an illegal state now can they? >
  
  Satanic Temple doing the lords work. >
  
  The true Christian was Satan all along >
  
  I have a theory that if heaven and hell and all that mess do exist, then Satan wrote the bible.
  What better way to fuck over your eternal enemy than to write his followers holy book? It explains all the heinous acts, the discrimination, genocides, literal slavery and rape. And on top of that, gods followers would be following the devil, and so they wouldn't be permitted to enter heaven. 
  If it was real it would be genius, but it probably isn't and I'm just looking for logic in a place it doesn't exist. >
  
  This is awesome!!! >
  
  Semitism. >
  
  If no one else has me, at least the temple has me >
  
  Satanic temple supporting child murder? Sounds about right.
