I think it's revealing how readily these people adopt the mantle of flat-out Satanism as a tactic to win political victories. I mean, they could have called their religion the "Church of Humanism" or just declared themselves to be some denomination of Universalism and that wouldn't have conflicted at all with their belief system. And yet they chose Satan.
Of course, they tell us that they don't actually believe in or worship a supernatural goat-being with a tail and a pitchfork, but if you're not Satanists why call yourselves that?
It just reinforces something I've come to believe over time, which is that, if the Bible isn't literally true, as translated, word for word, it might as well be. The impact on my life of whether, say, Onan was really struck down for humping a rock, or whether a guy really got swallowed by a whale, is zero.
You have people who put faith in that Holy Bible (not rational belief... faith) and people who don't, and the latter are generally miserable, unattractive, and living in squalor (ETA case in point: Shreveport). The former are imperfect, but they're what we were when things were better. They at least agree "Satanism is bad," and we had a better nation when that was the strong consensus.
