A federal appeals court upheld a Texas death row inmate's sentence, finding that state courts did not unreasonably allow evidence of his affiliation with Satanism because it was relevant to “future dangerousness.”

original sin is a lie and conspiracy among pedophiles.

the most important part of this post are the comments from Christians damning people to their fake hell for being upset about their forgery religion and shit choices and bad attitudes.

watch them, note their behavior.

this is the only reason why we can’t have nice things.

    I feel like it’s a potential grey area, but reading the article, it seems like the line was walked well. I wouldn’t want someone pulling out a “church of Satan” card outta someone’s wallet and giving the death penalty for it, but it looks like that isn’t what was going on here. This seems based on art and writings that indulge in violence and violation of consent. As with Christians,“freedom of religion” shouldn’t be used to excuse glorifying harm to others. (Even if our society often does excuse Christians. Still shouldn’t.)

      I can’t even see how the art and drawings have anything to do with satanism. None of the satanist teachings I know of would condone such things. The santanist should probably sue for being associated with them.
