Doug Mesner joins Conversations for the fourth time and it is once it’s a riveting conversation. Doug speaks about fighting theocracy, when Republicans talk about religious rights they are only speaking about Christianity, and the backlash repealing the Johnson Amendment will have on Christianity and politics.

Doug Mesner (A.K.A. Lucien Greaves), spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, was kind enough to join us via Skype from a sushi bar in Cambridge.

To many, Satanism is a word that conjures up visions of devil worship and supernatural evil. So why are so many people publicly associating themselves with it nowadays? Is the apocalypse close? Has Lucifer finally hatched his diabolical plan to take over? That would be really cool, but unfortunately no. I talked with The Satanic Temple founder and spokesperson Doug Mesner aka Lucien Greaves in order to gain greater clarity about what modern Satanism truly stands for.

We were privileged to have Doug Mesner (A.K.A. Lucien Greaves) join us via Skype for an interview to discuss many of the exciting things The Satanic Temple has going on right now as well as his plans for the future.  We were also joined in-studio by the always awesome Temell Buggs, who rants with us about the death of another atheist blogger in Bangladesh, the recent happenings in Baltimore, and whether it's OK to burn the American flag.

Doug Mesner returns to the show not to discuss the Satanic Panic but to have avery passionate conversation about the myths of repressed memory, the charlatans who profit from it and how it's ruined thousands of lives. He names names and invites them to lawyer up and come after him. Okay and we talk some Satan. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Leader of the Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves performed a pink mass on the grave of the mother of Fred Phelps, the founding member of the Wesboro Baptist Church, turning her gay in the afterlife. However, SHane Bugbee recently revealed in an interview for Vice Magazine that Lucien is really the creation of Doug Mesner. Doug and Shane join Dwyer in a captivating conversation about the controversy surrounding the 'Pink Mass', the criticism from the Church of Satan, conspiracy theories and how Doug plans on dealing with his pending legal issues due to the Pink Mass.
