What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Sumerian God Enki-Satan, they’re pro-choice, they follow gay Pagan Gods and they’re the largest Satanist group in the world

Yeah, the organization sounds nice on a surface level, but they hold many antisemitic beliefs and have connections to the National Socialist Movement; regardless of what they preach on a surface level, many of their members are full-blown neo-Nazis.

Though even before any of this information came out, the fact that their founder used LaVeyan Satanism as a base for this religious organization is a massive red flag, considering LaVey was highly antisemitic -- he was good friends with Nick Bougas, aka A. Wyatt Mann, who drew the widely known and disgustingly racist caricature of Jewish people, "The Happy Merchant". These aggressively antisemitic beliefs permeate through all forms of LaVey Satanism, including offshoots founded by others, and unfortunately, JoS is no exception.

#it's disappointing really because theological satanism has so much potential to be a healthy form of worship #of course i don't assume that everyone part of JoS is aware of these issues or overtly believes in them #since that's part of the indoctrinating process -- instilling covert antisemitism into their beliefs before going to more extremes #but yeah if someone says that they're part of JoS I'm admittedly a little hesitant around them and i'll bring these things up #there's a lot of antisemitism in many modern religions. it's... kind of fucked up and really disappointing #and genuinely terrifying for anyone who's jewish #also ngl i love getting weird random asks like this like yaaas give me an excuse to speak into the void even if no one's listening
