    They’re praying to Moloch, a biblical deity associated with child sacrifice.

    Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’m joking.

          Not all of them. Some of them (us, I’m Christian myself) do, others listen to Jesus who said:

          and when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. (Matthew 6:5)

          I pray in public all the time. Nobody ever saw me do it, outside of services in churches or in the privacy of Christians’ homes. These guys don’t pray, they show off.

      The Satanic Temple is absolutely one of our better civil and medical rights advocate groups.

    Why can’t politicians(or anyone, and such organizations) who claim to be anti-fascist or progressive stop posting on the Nazi platform owned by one of the most apalling figures of wealth in history?

    There are other ways to post a picture.

      And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
