Hail Independence!

INDEPENDENCE DAY: Liberty, Beloved Liberty, Shall Thee Remain Ours?

My message Independence Day: Ideals Worth Preserving from a year ago covered our current societal malaise in detail I need not restate, so I invite you to revisit my words. The Supreme Court here in the United States—now seemingly a papist-ridden conglomeration preparing the way for the dominion of autocratic Christian Nationalism—is an affront to the Founder’s explicitly expressed goal of proudly forming a secular republic. While several of those “justices” claim to be champions of “Originalism,” they cherry pick what serves their God-centric agendas, and thus subvert the overall clear intentions of those who minted a truly rare form […]

INDEPENDENCE DAY: Ideals Worth Preserving

Today, we again mark the anniversary of The Declaration of Independence, that traitorous 1776 statement which lead to the foundation of the United States of America. Almost a quarter of a millennium ago, those brash colonials shed foreign rule with their territorial union wrought as a secular republic—a most unusual endeavor in the annals of human history. As a philosophy of individualism and self-determination, Satanism’s fundamental principles endorse “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” which those revolutionaries promised as fundamental “rights” that should be ensconced in their new republic—a governmental system meant to serve all participating in that society.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: Whither America?

Once again, we mark the anniversary of The Declaration of Independence, that traitorous 1776 statement which lead to the foundation of the United States of America. Those colonials who wanted to shed foreign rule ostensibly intended their territorial union to be a secular republic—a most unusual endeavor in the annals of human history.

Yet, from that auspicious conceptual beginning, not all under the newly-crafted […]

INDEPENDENCE DAY Today in the USA we mark the “birthday” of what our founders intended to be a secular republic. Americans popularly use this day, or the nearby weekend, as a means to enjoy a summer holiday with convivial gatherings, barbecues, and evening fireworks displays while commercial enterprises lure folks towards capitalist excess with varied sales for their wares and services. While we partake or refrain from all of this as we please, Satanists also make time to reflect on the significance of the manifestation of this country whose expressed values favor self-determination for its citizens. Satanism champions freedom, individualism […]
