From a certain point of view, he saved one of the thieves.
"And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise." Luke 23:39-43 Douay Rheims Bible

I may be misinterpreting, but I take the point of the Penitent Thief to be a demonstration of sin and punishment. Dismas (using the popular name for him) knew he justly deserved to die, and that by dying repentant for his crimes the Gates of Heaven were opened to him. This is why a lot of pre-modern theologians considered punishment (and in particular execution) to be part of the absolution process for criminals, as simply saying you seek forgiveness meant nothing, and that allowing justice to be served proved that you truly sought repentance.

Hate them, they're just fedora-tippers using the Flying Spaghetti Monster approach to try to bully society into enshrining leftist policy. RFRA has genuine purpose, and these fuckers abuse it to try to make sure their pet causes are untouchable. That said, I think they truly might be Moloch cultists considering how they primarily do that "religious freedom" stunt in regards to abortion.

What are they doing any different?

The fact that they are openly atheists using a bogus religion as cover to justify leftist policy. Conservative Christians have Biblical doctrine to justify their invocations of RFRA, the Satanic Temple just tacks on various leftist policies and asserts that they need them protected with "religious freedoms" to try to mock people practicing their genuine religious principals.

Cringe meta, but I like the cut of their jib when they point out Christian hypocrisy about Freedom of Religion.

Both sides tend to get "freedom of religion" confused with "freedom from religion" fairly often.

Having the Ten Commandments in a courthouse is fine. Muslim women wearing hijabs is also fine. This is just one of those things that's part and parcel of living with, y'know, other human beings.

Well, you'd think that'd be easy a status quo to try and keep up, but...

Hence why it's more satisfying when, say, a Muslim shows them up instead of the usual non-Theistic Satanist types.

I'd like them a hell of a lot more if they actually campaigned against people misusing religious freedoms and not people putting up statues, raising Christian flags or trying to force themselves into Christmas displays.

Hasn’t this kind of thing been done before?

Pretty much what everyone else here is saying. A bunch of left-wing atheists trying way too hard to be edgy & abusing religious freedom laws to protect their political sacred-cows. They’d be a hellva (no pun intended) lot more interesting if they were like the satanists in movies & urban legend.

That's actually a good way of looking at the Penitent Thief. It's a good example of why you can't just say "Oh, I'm sorry" when you're repenting your sins, you actually have to feel genuinely bad for what you did. A lot of people tend to forget this fact when it comes to repentance.

Yeah, I guess this is what happens when a secular Jew mixes Objectivist philosophy with the fuckery of Aleister Crowley. (I'm not making that up, that is what the Church of Satan is based on) I wonder if Anton LaVey ever met L. Ron Hubbard, the two seem to make a good friendship.

Also, I find it ironic that the people who claim to reject Satan pretty much fulfill the same things Christians warn about Satan. I've heard some theorize that Satanists actually worship the Devil, using atheism as a façade. To quote a wise man, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”

But hey that's just a theory, right?

On that note, I posted in another thread regarding Nick Fuentes' "christianity". Was referencing him obviously being gay, but didn't bring up that the verse does seem to predict some modern-day shit:

If anyone's curious, Romans 1:18-32 explicitly mentions it as forbidden:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Dropping Telltale’s new video:


7:25 mins in: ‘The trinity is actually fake’. Now, I’m not looking to get into a theological discussion about religion here, but this goes to show you just how much of a JW he still is. The Trinity and the divinity of Christ is one of the core components of Christianity. The only groups that dispute this fact are cultish ‘fringe’ groups like JWs, LDS, Oneness Pentecostals, and New Thought groups. The fact that TT can be so blatantly wrong on what actual Christianity is or Biblical history…is (but honestly isn’t) surprising. The other thing I’m scratching my head over is why an atheist wants to argue what’s ‘right & wrong’ in a holy book they view as factually wrong from the start.

This is a person who wants to tell you if your religion is a cult or not.

What's odd about these arguments is that a large cohort of Second Temple Jews were firm in their belief in, at minimum, a binitarian Godhead. Reading early Hebrew literature makes a good case for a pre-Christian origin of the Trinity.

Freedom of religion means that you have to tolerate the others existence.

At some point religious schizos and atheists cross an intersection of smuggery. while ones usually schizophrenic and more forgivable the euphoric side tends to deserve a punch across the face for that.

It's the total lack of intellectual curiosity that annoys me about euphoric atheists. They don't even engage with what they're mad about, it's just magic sky fairy bronze age goat herders Christians don't even read the Bible

The hardcore Calvinists at least have to learn about Catholicism in the process of trying to refute it. Yeah, they're smug as shit but at least they're engaged. Also Calvin was a lawyer so fuck that guy.
