Yes, I still receive a lot of firearms-related email newsletters and they are also getting more and more strange. Christian this or Tactical that? Right-wing grifters everywhere.

I delete the emails, but keep up with the latest propaganda via those emails.

Nope. Referring to the website- the grouchy goat is how some folks refer to atheists, and that good children who are just trying to convert folks should avoid us and let the adults handle the tougher cases.......

Christian groups have their own AA meetings, NA meetings...so not unusual they'd have weight loss meetings. Maybe they teach them to cover their kitchen with appropriate Bible verses to stop eating. Trade one addiction for another.

i read anton lavey's "satanic bible" for a book report (1970?) in HS. i was not impressed, mostly just more claptrap to justify bad behavior. but it helped me to understand that some self-professed "christians", especially evangelists, actually worship mammon. https://mythology.net/demons/mammon/ i remember being mystified why anyone would substitute one invisible friend for another, although that didn't seem to be what lavey was getting at.

As I read the Satanic Temple stuff, I don't give much weight to them actually giving credence to an invisible friend. More that it's a pushback against evangelicals who are pushing christianity into the .gov space than anything else. Which I wholeheartedly support.
