While I laughed at "Notice me Senpai!" I was really hoping they'd have a more vocal member of the temple to explain why they're putting the statue up, and that it was about all the positive things they stand for. The way the Satanic Temple was portrayed was, well, they kinda look like buffoons.
As the resident Christian I'd just like to say I fully support the use of pine trees in public places to celebrate the winter solstice. Any link from this pagan tradition and Christianity is foolish and needs to be eradicated from the public conscious. Secular celebrations of an event called "Christmas" are equally foolish. Christmas ought to be celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and all this Santa Claus nonsense ought to be called something else altogether. Yule maybe. Sadly the battle to keep the Christ in Christmas was lost well before I was born so I don't really know what to do about it at this point.
This is why the "JFK" comment was so confusing. The "argument" that Catholics aren't Christian is not merely uncommon: it's outlandish. Practically no one thinks or argues that. It's basically never said. It's not even on the realm of expected discourse.
So I can't understand how JFK was in any way relevant to the conversation.
Yeah even the Protestants of the 17th century who fought wars against the Catholics would admit that they're Christian. This is why the word heretic exists -- a way to denounce a religion that falls under the same umbrella as yours. The anti-Catholic sentiments of the 19th Century was because they were afraid America would be annexed by the Pope, not that they didn't take the Bible seriously or anything.
Regardless of what one thinks about the Bible and what it says people should do, Catholics believe in and worship Christ. Who is, you know, the base word for Christian.
If "The Jews" really controlled the world, you'd think Bernie Sanders would be doing better.
That's my argument when people tell me Freemasons run the world.
Fun fact: A large amount of opposition to Andrew Jackson was anti-masonic, as they feared he would turn America into a Catholic theocracy. This theory ignores that Jackson spent his entire life a devout Presbyterian, and his basic conflict with the Vatican's assertion that the Earth is round.
This was the case for several other not Catholic Presidents, but the only other one I can immediately remember is James Monroe.
Its funny how the Illuminati is supposed to be some occult world government group controlling and harming society when the actual Bavarian Illuminati were a group trying to limit religious influence and abuses of state power.

There's a group claiming to be the illuminati now, except they seem mostly concerned with selling silly self-empowerment books, and (admittedly somewhat nice) jewelry of the famous logo.
Though, I did find out about them in a pretty class way - they had a both at QED in Manchester, and they were handing out pyramid-style teabags of quite decent tea, with the branding "Illumina-tea."

It was these guys. I still have no idea if they're taking the piss or not.
