    Living by your own will alone is not liberty because people are never truly free by themselves. They will have the chains of the natural sinful nature holding them from truly experiencing freedom as God intended.

    If anyone here did not see the co-opt of the party then I don't really know what to say. The sad truth is that they were ripe for the picking. If you are going to run Federal government opposition without core principles..then...Gary Johnson.

    I'm agnostic. I don't know another libertarian that is Satanic. Not a one. I've known many Christians that were libertarians. I've never run across a Satanist that was disposed towards libertarianism. I dunno. YMMV.

    The post in this thread doesn't have the same format

    It is not fake. It is a screen shot of the Facebook page not their Twitter page. Austin Petersen and others saw it. Then the LP took the post down.

    OK, I see, thanks for explaining:
    Now I see "Facebook" in the text under the second image.... SpongeBob must have distracted me.


    Edit: That is real, WTF, sounds like Satan is expanding his influence.

    This seems aligned with that I thought the LP was about. The LP is about spreading the message of liberty, not getting elected. This created news/social media buzz. People are talking about the LP. Some of those people are learning about liberty. Seems like a win for the LP.

    People that want to win partisan offices run as Republicans in most states or in New Hampshire, as Republicans or Democrats. This doesn't change that.

    Yep. As I understand it, they did a series of tweets that demonstrated libertarian principles are found in Islam, Buddhism, etc. In fact, Sarwark says the first time the Islam and Buddhism tweets got way more blowback than the Satanic Temple one.

    Like it or not, the LP platform says this -

    1.2 Expression and Communication

    We support full freedom of expression and oppose government censorship, regulation or control of communications media and technology. We favor the freedom to engage in or abstain from any religious activities that do not violate the rights of others. We oppose government actions which either aid or attack any religion.
    As much as we might believe one or the other religion is true, the LP's mission requires it (as an organization) giving one religion no more or less political validity than any other.

    Whether the LP is doing the right thing marketing-wise is another question. But if religious conservatives voted for trump, can we really be so concerned about one tweet from the LP?

    As far as I can tell, the Satanic Temple is a spoof organization in the vein of Church of the SubGenius, Pastafarianism, Kekism, etc. If, in the course of their tongue-in-cheek shennanigans their organization sometimes forwards the work of the real Adversary, well, so do many self-identifying Christians, sometimes in the name of the Savior.

    Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018

    Nope,, just his visibility.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I think that correlates with influence.

    The real question is whether Satan's purposes are being promoted.

    The word Satan isn't a magic word like Voldemort that causes bad things to happen by its very utterance. The Satan worshipped by the Satanic Temple is the character from 80s heavy-metal records and splatter gore movies, The Devil Is a Part-Timer, Little Nicky, etc. It seems to me that somebody saying they worship Satan (especially that one) and not really meaning it maybe not as bad as it seems. Wouldn't Satan's work be more effectively done by somebody claiming to worship the risen Christ, but not really meaning it?

    ...great post...

    ...let's get real here...this is the abortion prohibitionist coalition (mostly radio republicans, 'christian' republicans, etc. republicrat cranks) trying to score political points...btw, take the very same quote (attributed here to 'the satanic temple,') and attribute it to some obscure author and most of you would like it...why not?..

    ...and the know-little blowhard, austin peterson, supported the republican crud-puppet ted cruz..ugh...he needs to get out of the LP and go blow republican trumpet..

    I'm a Christian, and I think it is about time we stop using the term "libertarian" because it has been taken over by people who have a lot of power and very little idea about liberty.

    What's the new term?
