Friday night in Los Angeles dodgers It will honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of gay and transgender “nuns.” SPI is famous for sexualizing Christian imagery, such as using the cross as a stripper pole and parodying the Eucharist by drinking yogurt-filled chalices as a substitute for human semen.

This happens too often to be a coincidence. So what is the relationship between LGBT pride and Satanism?
For Christians, there is a divine order in the universe and each person must strive to follow it. Satan, a High Angel possessed by jealousy (and yes, pride) for God’s special love for mankind, chose to reject this cosmic order. He whispered to Eve that God’s decrees were arbitrary, rooted not in God’s inherent goodness, but in desire to rule.
God wants you to deny yourself for the greater good. Satan wants you to express his thoughts, not preach what is good and bad for you. live your truth

Most of Satan’s spiritual descendants have abandoned faith in God, or even in literal Satan. “If I believe in Satan, I must believe in the Bible, and I consider myself an atheist,” Carnell told The Washington Post. But they persist in the idea that all appeals to moral absolutes are thinly veiled lies aimed at oppression and control.
Goodness is not an objective category, it is something we work out among ourselves.Devil’s Temple instead of the Ten Commandments provides seven “Basic Doctrine”. The third clause enshrines bodily autonomy, which is why temples treat abortion as a sacrament. The fourth clause states that “A willful and unjustifiable infringement of another’s liberty is a renunciation of one’s own liberty.” The only real sin is to prevent others from expressing themselves.
Nowhere is the conflict between these worldviews clearer than in the realm of sex. Christianity’s opposition to homosexuality is rooted not only in the biblical verses that mention homosexuality, but also in natural law theory. The argument is that God created human sexuality for the purpose of reproduction and mating. Seeking sexual stimulation for another purpose or in a way that thwarts those purposes is a sin because it goes against God’s plan.
For Satanists, the question “what is sex for?” is nonsense. It is not “for” anything. Sexual pleasure may have evolved to facilitate reproduction, but there is no “should” in its “is”. it’s your body. Do whatever feels comfortable, as long as your partner agrees. The same applies when it comes to gender. Don’t like your body? you own it Please remake as you like.
A liberal Jesuit priest. James Martin is different point of view The Pride Party argued that Catholics should celebrate the holy month casually. According to Martin, the pride celebrated there is not sinful self-agreement, but “a sense of one’s own dignity.” (Related article: Jesuit priest’s comment on homosexuality reveals ‘most insidious problem facing all Christians today,’ says theologian)
Once upon a time there was a homosexual rights movement whose sole purpose was to persuade society to recognize its dignity. In the mid-1960s, clean-cut “homosexuals” marched in suits and neatly written clothing. placard It read, “Abolish discriminatory policies against homosexuals,” and “Homosexuals are American citizens.”Their Purpose, Author Karl Truman I have written In his book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, his aim was to convince his compatriots that being homosexual was highly compatible with patriotism and a clean life. They didn’t want to be arrested or fired for having sex with gays, but more than that, gays had no radical intentions.

Unfortunately for Martin, no such movement exists anymore. Obscenities and nudity on display everywhere from “family friendly” festivals to the White House lawn do not appeal to any recognition of human dignity. They are power movements.
Today’s activists trace their lineage to the 1969 Stonewall riots, when gay bar patrons threw bricks at police. A year later, the first Pride Parade was held to mark the anniversary. Since then, the movement’s aim has been to force American society not only to tolerate homosexuality, but to affirm it as morally and legally equivalent to other forms of sexuality.
The glorification of individual autonomy and self-expression, especially when it crosses traditional boundaries, is a religious claim. And that’s exactly what Satan offers, whether you believe him or not.
