Why Satan

To start off that you for everyone who has been supportive of me not getting to shows when I have wanted to get to them past month of so has been very draining. Today there is discussion of the first tenet, a one segment review of Lilith Starr's The Compassionate Satanist, a bit of a rant/discussion of a co-worker who won't get vaxxed and why him being tested every 5 days isn't good enough I then end the show by reading a very....out there DM I got. If you have out there DMs or emails from people because of your Satanism please feel free to share ether on twitter or Whysatan666@gmail.com

sorry for the long gap, was on  vacation and then was worn out from stuff when I got  back. Work is kicking my ass this week so not a long show. Finish up Introduction to   Romanic Satanism,  I got some replies to a  question I asked about what  Satanism means to you and then I  ramble a little bit  as I tend to do.

First today get into why I was so stressed out I couldn't record last week, then I talk about a short story someone wrote ( link is under this summary), chapter 4 of Introduction To Romantic Satanism ( the author also emailed me which was kinda cool), I talk about the Satanic view on the whole " my body my choice" when it comes to vaxxing up and finally you all sent me questions which I attempt to answer   An Anniversary Gift by Finnian Larkin https://vocal.media/fiction/an-anniversary-gift-dy5h7a06z2     Introduction to Romance Satanism by michael osiris snuffin can be found at   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085RTT3HK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_17J3Y56STB9XCYNM2685 Or https://m.facebook.com/pages/category/Book/Introduction-to-Romantic-Satanism-113167600338109/

Today I struggle to deal with how hot this room gets.  I talk about the heat and how many people don't seem to want to  admit to what the cause is, discuss the 3rd chapter of Introduction to  romantic Satanism, I have an issue with something TST sent out on  it's mailing list and finally talk about satanic panic, one part amusing, the other not so much   Introduction to Romance Satanism by michael osiris snuffin can be found at   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085RTT3HK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_17J3Y56STB9XCYNM2685 Or https://m.facebook.com/pages/category/Book/Introduction-to-Romantic-Satanism-113167600338109/     https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-57721663

This Episode is largely for people who may learn someone they know is a Satanist and would like to know about what Satanism is.  This episode does not have any swearing or normal  introduction to make it more open to many different type of people.   https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-rituals-work/

Today we cover Ray Comfort's view that all  babies are evil ( he shouldn't be around  children ever), We get chapter two of "Introduction To Romantic Satanism" and finally  someone thinks teachers should have  live feed body camera which would  basically  ruin school for everyone.   Also between the  time of recording this and  writing the  show notes Ray changed the  title of his article from "Face it: children are evil" to "Ugly Baby Blindness Syndrome" What a fucking coward. He didn't change anything IN the article though       https://www.livingwaters.com/ugly-baby-blindness-syndrome/   https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/06/09/christian-group-we-want-body-cams-on-teachers-to-monitor-lessons-on-sex-racism/

This week there are reasons I can some times come off to some as a slight ass, I talk DnD and how it sets a hard example for any non-deist god, calling people who don't want to work horrible minimum wage jobs lazy pisses me off, finally the "law and order" really can't stop calling for violence it seems   https://www.vice.com/en/article/3aqkkk/matt-gaetz-had-a-terrible-weekend-on-twitter   https://www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-didnt-say-use-second-amendment-against-silicon-valley-shoot-1595706  

This podcast i will be asking what could I do if i had morals, Anti-maskers and Anti-Vaxers' arguments make no sense and one even exposes hypocrisy (shocking I know), why the hell do i  keep mentioning His Dark Materials in my  podcasts lately, a listener asks me  question and we cover some  news  since last news segment didn't piss me off this one did double for good measure   https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/88nnwg/anti-maskers-ready-to-start-maskingto-protect-themselves-from-the-vaccinated   https://secondnexus.com/jacob-chansley-lawyer-short-bus   https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-strike-media-building-provokes-outrage-n1267520   https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/19/middleeast/israel-palestinian-conflict-wednesday-intl/index.html

This week it's about romantic Satanism, Who owns satanism (spoiler no one), what can we learn from romantic satanism and what IS Romantic Satanism. Well to find out those things one of the things we can do it review the first chapter in the book Introduction to Romantic Satanism.   Also want to thank everyone who has ever reached out and said hi, it means a lot interacting with people who listen gives me a huge smile

Today we talk science it's all about science, from how I found learning is better then prayer, how learning science is part of being a Satanist, that  there are both  real and fake controversies in  science, before ending with some  really cool science stories   News about antimatter stars:  https://www.sciencenews.org/article/antimatter-stars-antistars-milky-way-galaxy-space-astronomy   Screams of joy vs fear: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/human-brain-recognize-scream-joy-faster-fear   Alzheimer's research: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/04/210422150402.htm   Helicopter on Mars:  https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nasa-ingenuity-helicopter-mission-extended-mars-perseverance

On this short episode (which is do to the fact I need to switch my  recording  days around and a bad allergies)  I have someone who I think is awesome do my intro for me. I talk about new places i  want to  take the podcast and ask if anyone wants to  send in their stories about cutting toxic people loose.  I also have to rant about a  racist wind asshole who is targeting kids wearing masks and I explain why I rant about assholes in the first place   https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/04/28/states-to-tucker-carlson-dont-call-us-about-children-wearing-masks/?sh=45ea02371256

First up, what people get wrong about science in general, we move on to more Why Satan Preps where I talk about  bags with in bags. Moving on from there I lay into Dawkins and his habit of giving voice to some really shit anti-trans ideas. lastly there will be no podcast next week I get my second vax this week and likely won't feel up to it

At the request of two listeners I summitted the podcast to Spotify and here is the  link. https://open.spotify.com/show/6z4dIGWC9qtrwU10RbuUsO?nd=1   Starting off I discuss an interesting interaction I had with a Catholic neighbor, Moving on from there we get into a little Music Video by Lil Nas X. I go on a rage filled  rant about a bill coming out of North Caroline authored by a Brown Shirt named Senator Ralph Hise and then look at the News Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swmTBVI83k https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lil-nas-x-montero-call-me-by-your-name-no-1_n_606c5aa6c5b6832c793bcf1e   That NC bill article https://www.alternet.org/2021/04/nc-anti-trans-bill/   Mitch being Mitch https://tinyurl.com/dfx4wy3h    https://www.vox.com/2021/4/7/22370085/mcconnell-cancel-corporations-punish-first-amendment-unconstitutional-delta-georgia-voting-rights   Jim Baker and Zombies https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/jim-bakker-is-now-using-his-end-times-broadcast-to-warn-about-zombies/   The Chart about Christian nationalists  https://twitter.com/socofthesacred/status/1379533098304606208?s=19   So help me god removed from voting registration https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/04/07/atheists-will-no-longer-have-to-swear-an-oath-to-god-in-order-to-vote-in-alabama/  

Welcome to the  new format, shorter segments  which lets me hit on a  few more topics each episode  and lets me  touch on things that don't need 40 minutes. On this episode I introduce the new format, I thank every single person who listens ( more than once), Touch on something that  has been  bothering me and others during this whole year of lock down, talk about why prepping isn't just for doom-dayers, I got on an un planned rant about whole potato head thing as i am  sick  of hearing about it. Today there aren't any links to  stories but here is an email where I am always be reached podcast@whysatan.com.   for images about my EDC see the podcast post on the small site I have  set up  https://whysatan.com/?p=191 

After this episode I will be switching over to  smaller segments that can split  up  longer topics over time unless a topic is better as a long form  topic. This will make interaction and feed back easier among other things.   For today however I cover the idea of a Libertarian Utopia, why it's Problematic, why I don't understand how a non-theist can  be for it and how it can even conflict with some theistic ideas   below are some of the articles and examples of information I end up  citing   https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/30/colorado-springs-libertarian-experiment-america-215313/   https://theihs.org/blog/what-does-a-libertarian-vision-of-utopia-look-like/   https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/september-october-2020/libertarians-took-control-of-this-small-town-it-didnt-end-well/

Rush is dead and I am happy that fucker is dead. He caused enough misery to enough people no one should have any pity for the fucker. So of course the podcast talks about how much of an asshole he was. Also rip Cuomo a new one because no one gets to say no need to investigate me because there wasn't a cover up. I also rant about how it's libertarian bullshit at the heart of what happen in Texas. After I take a moment to relax we turn to ghost hunting and all it's bullshittery and there is a whole lot of it. Rush believes Consent is boringhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/rush-limbaugh-consent_n_57fee9aae4b0e8c198a6076d Some of the horrid shit that fucker saidhttps://people.com/politics/rush-limbaugh-most-controversial-moments/  What is EMFhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMF_measurement#:~ The Broken Tech of Ghost Huntinghttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/11/the-broken-technology-of-ghost-hunting/506627/  Why people see ghostshttps://www-inverse-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.inverse.com/article/22389-four-scientific-explanations-for-ghosts/amp?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D  

On the podcast we look into why everything we remember might be wrong, okay not everything but a lot. How this effects us, miracles, evidence and what we might be able to do about it. Before that we learn white supremacists don't like it when you say they are NOT fine people Links Fox News upset over Biden’s denouncement of white supremacy – because it might offend Trump votershttps://www.rawstory.com/fox-newshttps://www.rawstory.com/karl-rove-joe-biden-racism This is a great took for if a site makes you sign up for a think and you don't want to have it spam your email cause your going to just use it oncehttps://www.guerrillamail.com/ Articles on our changing memorieshttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2013/05/20/when-memories-are-remembered-they-can-be-rewritten This one has the video I mentionedhttps://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/why-do-our-memories-change-video/ Discussions on how other people can mess with your memorieshttps://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160920-four-ways-that-other-people-can-warp-your-memory "Unless we spot changes, most life experiences are fabricated from memories"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180724174258.htm miracles and false memorieshttp://www.digitalfreethought.com/blog/2014/03/23/miracles-and-false-memories/

The President is now the former President, who from now on I will refer to as "trash". Today felt more like new years than new years did. The events of today have me cautiously optimistic with the  signing of surprisingly  progressive executive orders. I still plan on being ready to call out this new admin the moment it's need, but here is to  optimism for once.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/20/joe-biden-executive-orders-day-oneIn the second segment the podcast talk about 2020 and while it was a shitty here some good things came out of ithttps://www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/politics/virginia-general-assembly-equal-rights-amendment/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2020/06/10/us/nascar-bans-confederate-flag-spt-trnd/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/supreme-court-lgbtq-employment-case/index.html  

 rapid response after a day or two of watching Qanon and Maga boards and waiting on news to come out I put together a rapid response where I go through why I think what happen happened given the groups involved. in short I think Trump is more knowingly responsible than most people are suggestingso sorry for less show notes then normal. Most of what I discuss is personal thoughts and experience with the type of people who were behind what happen on 1/6/21  along with ideas I have gained through discussions with others. I wanted to  try to get  this out quickly so it’s a bit more free form.As before I will not be linking the Qanon and MAGA sites as I do not want to bring them any more traffic even if it just might be google search bots

As the title says this is a  difficult Episode, I have a  trigger warning before the opening for suicide, bullying,  LGBTQ discrimination and an audio clip of a school councilor yelling at a  17 year old transgender student, I do not  include the students audio. The episode started when i  read the following  article https://www.out.com/news/2020/12/22/trans-teen-dies-suicide-after-being-humiliated-wearing-skirtThere are issues that  calling local schools,  mayors, state officials  might have in pactthe maps I mentionedhttps://www.lgbtmap.org//equality-maps/safe_school_lawshttps://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/panic_defense_bans the site for that  law firm that   focuses on  LGBTQ issues and has resoursehttps://www.lambdalegal.org/know-your-rights/article/youth-creating-a-safer-school 

We start off with a weird meme from  2016 I just discovered, we look into the Infernal Dictionary and move on to the  main topic. The main topic covered when some people need to be cut out of our lives, much of the time is is for our own self care. This topic is about adults as minors dealing with  toxic family is a harder issue there are resources for LGBTQ youth however which I will link below https://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth/youth-resources.htm

First I  give a small rant, talk, something about how hard these last few weeks have been on  myself and everyone. Talk a bit about staying safe while  voting and after the  election. During the  main segment  social norms are bullshit and  frankly end up  causing more trouble than they are worth. They  try to  define what is "normal" even though normal changes. I also mentioned  this disgusting article I am sure people have seen before:  https://biblicalgenderroles.com/2020/07/16/7-steps-to-grooming-your-christian-wife/sorry shows notes are  slim as I have  said this  last 3 weeks or  so have felt like  5 years

There is a Huffpo article that pushed the idea of this episode, Oct 1st was Blasphemy day, a list of Republicans with something in common and finally in the Main segment we talk about what makes Satanism a  religion and what does it mean to be a religious SatanistAlso not sure why I couldn't say Aria deSatanas's name correctly during the podcast, but as I write the show notes it's clear, I'll blame it on lack of sleep Opening  segment The Death Of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Pushed Me To Join The Satanic TempleInternational Blasphemy Rights DayMain segmentWhat The Satanic Temple is and why it’s opening a debate about religionCreating your Personal Root Document by Stephen Bradford LongThis isn't about my Infernal Handbook but about what came before itThe Devil's Tome by Shiva Honey Finding Empowerment: Tenets, Sigils and Rituals: A Handbook of Infernal Sigils and Rituals by Aria deSatanasOther mentionshttps://twitter.com/DrSpranklehttps://www.drsprankle.com/

On this weeks show we talk about Qanon, Why should we care about it, what is it, who is Q, what is adrenochrome, what is The Storm and why the hell are they obsessed with  Trump's tweets. Did I become a member of Qanon after hanging out for a month on 8chan and Voat who know come fine out!Before we get to the main segment however we talk about that asshole J.K Rowling, we learn that ICE can indeed become more Nazi like and we look at a fun Rational wiki article Shiva Honey posted on Twitter and Remember feel  free to contact me on Twitter or email at Podcast@whysatan.comOpening  Segment LinksJ.K Rowling is an asshole again.:https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2020-09-14/jk-rowlings-troubled-blood-robert-galbraith-transphobicStaggering Number of Hysterectomies Happening at ICE Facility, Whistleblower Says: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/93578d/staggering-number-of-hysterectomies-happening-at-ice-facility-whistleblower-sayList of Satanic Things: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Satanic_items_according_to_Christian_truthersThe Main segment Qanon articles [as i  said I will not be  linking to  anything on  4/8chan or VOAT]https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/09/02/majority-of-republicans-believe-the-qanon-conspiracy-theory-is-partly-or-mostly-true-survey-finds/#2823e1e85231https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/qanon-fringe-conspiracy-theory-edges-mainstream-things-worse/story?id=72751829https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-georgia-runoff-qanon-conspiracy-theory/index.htmlhttps://thespinoff.co.nz/society/07-04-2020/explainer-adrenochrome-the-drug-that-doesnt-exist/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_clearance 

In this  episode we discuss the morality of feeling  joy, happiness, Catharsis or even flat our  celebrating when bad things happen to bad people. Can you even control feeling this way, should you care about emotional harm on the family? These are the questions discussed, also some feed back about this very topic. First however we talk about Anthony Huber who was killed by Kyle Rittenhouse and how the right had shown their "good guy" with a gun argument it was never meant to  apply to true heroes. remember  feed back it  welcome at podcast@whysatan.comhttps://twitter.com/satan_why https://whysatan.com/ Article on Anthony Huber: https://tinyurl.com/yxqtha4qArticles on if you can control your thoughts:https://neurosciencenews.com/thought-control-difficult-12086/https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180716164511.htmhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-we-control-our-thoughts/

The podcast is  back with vastly improved audio and most  knowledge of podcasting under my belt. In this episode we introduce what this podcast is going to be about, how you can interact with it through twitter, blog comments or sending me an email. We also discuses future topics and I cringe when I mention some of my old woo beliefs

It might seem surprising, but yes your teacher is in fact better trained than your cops, how would I know, well went through training to be a teacher.  In this episode I check out what it takes to be a cop in  Boston and compare it to what I was required to do,  in short it still makes me  angry when I think about it. killology:   https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/dave-grossman-training-police-militarization/
