86Man: Camera rolls.
87
8819

150
15133
15200:01:53,330 --> 00:01:54,330
153That's not important.
154
15534
15600:01:56,986 --> 00:01:58,988
157It's a beautiful day here

175Hail Satan, Rick,
176
17739
17800:02:12,262 --> 00:02:14,090
179for providing us
180this opportunity
181
18240
18300:02:14,308 --> 00:02:16,092
184to make
185the Satanic clause clear
186
18741
18800:02:16,266 --> 00:02:18,660
189and make our presence known,
190and, uh...
191
19242
19300:02:18,834 --> 00:02:21,010
194Man:
195
19643
19700:02:21,663 --> 00:02:23,491
198I believe it,
199and I'm very excited about it.

20200:02:23,665 --> 00:02:25,014
203[man yells indistinctly]

207Reporter: A satanic temple

20946
21000:02:27,582 --> 00:02:30,062
211fully supports Florida Governor Rick Scott,
212who has been
213
21447
21500:02:30,237 --> 00:02:32,239
216pushing for prayer in public schools.
217
21848
21900:02:32,413 --> 00:02:35,546
220Jesus Christ became my savior
221at a very young age...
222
22349
22400:02:35,807 --> 00:02:38,070
225That's right,
226Satanists pushing for prayer
227
22850
22900:02:38,245 --> 00:02:40,290
230and backing
231a Tea Party favorite.
232
23351
23400:02:40,464 --> 00:02:42,423
235We spoke to one
236of the Satanists today
237
23852
23900:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,512
240about why they support the law.
241
24253
24300:02:44,947 --> 00:02:47,428
244Lucien Greaves,
245and yes, that is the name
246
24754
24800:02:47,602 --> 00:02:48,777
249the gentleman gave us,
250
25155
25200:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,258
253told us that the law
254would lead to, quote,
255
25656
25700:02:51,606 --> 00:02:53,999
258"A boom
259in religious diversity."
260
26157
26200:02:54,522 --> 00:02:57,177
263Basically, the argument
264being you open the door to God,
265
26658
26700:02:57,351 --> 00:02:58,830
268you open the door to Satan.
269
27059
27100:02:59,309 --> 00:03:00,549
272We're not what
273you think we are,
274
27560
27600:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,444
277and we're here to...
278we're here to help people
279
28061
28100:03:03,618 --> 00:03:06,534
282understand that about us
283and also about themselves.
284
28562
28600:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,627
287Man: What do you think
288of Rick Scott?
289
29063
29100:03:08,884 --> 00:03:10,233
292Think he's a great American.
293
29464
29500:03:10,581 --> 00:03:11,713
296Man:
297
29865
29900:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,194
300- I do, and, uh...
301- Man:
302
30366
30400:03:14,846 --> 00:03:15,846
305No.
306
30767
30800:03:16,326 --> 00:03:17,458
309Hail Satan!
310
31168
31200:03:17,675 --> 00:03:19,721
313- Hail Satan.
314- Hail Satan.
315
31669
31700:03:19,895 --> 00:03:20,896
318Hail Satan!
319
32070
32100:03:23,072 --> 00:03:27,642
322[scattered clapping]
323
32471
32500:04:00,022 --> 00:04:02,720
326[feedback echoes]
327
32872
32900:04:05,897 --> 00:04:08,073
330Nicholas: It was awkward.
331it was messy,
332
33373
33400:04:08,552 --> 00:04:12,164
335and it was awesome.
336It was national news,
337
33874
33900:04:12,339 --> 00:04:15,037
340but more importantly,
341we realized
342
34375
34400:04:15,211 --> 00:04:16,691
345that we were on to something.
346
34776
34800:04:17,474 --> 00:04:20,216
349Woman: And where did the name
350"The Satanic Temple" come from?
351
35277
35300:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,524
354Malcolm: When I was looking
355at all the different
356
35778
35800:04:23,698 --> 00:04:26,353
359Satanic organizations
360that existed,
361
36279
36300:04:26,527 --> 00:04:29,356
364uh, the name wasn't taken.
365[laughs]
366
36780
36800:04:29,617 --> 00:04:32,533
369Nicholas: The Rick Scott rally
370was a media stunt
371
37281
37300:04:32,707 --> 00:04:35,536
374to show the hypocrisy
375of what Rick Scott was doing,
376
37782
37800:04:35,971 --> 00:04:37,755
379and it required a spokesperson.
380
38183
38200:04:38,974 --> 00:04:41,237
383I didn't want to do it.
384[laughs]
385
38684
38700:04:45,546 --> 00:04:47,199
388He is the leader
389of the Satanic Temple,
390
39185
39200:04:47,374 --> 00:04:50,333
393and we're gonna be on the steps
394of the Capitol Building.
395
39686
39700:04:51,682 --> 00:04:53,042
398Man: Usually when I think
399of, like,
400
40187
40200:04:53,205 --> 00:04:55,207
403a gaggle of satanic,
404you know, worshippers,
405
40688
40700:04:55,382 --> 00:04:56,837
408I think of them wearing, like,
409the red hoods.
410
41189
41200:04:56,861 --> 00:04:57,981
413- Man 1: Yeah.
414- Man 2: Yeah.
415
41690
41700:04:58,254 --> 00:04:59,574
418Like,
419that's like the group color,
420
42191
42200:05:00,082 --> 00:05:02,693
423and then leader color would be,
424like, black, gray, brown.
425
42692
42700:05:02,954 --> 00:05:03,954
428Man: Oh, I like that.
429
43093
43100:05:04,565 --> 00:05:07,437
432Malcolm: When we first started,
433it was staged,
434
43594
43600:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,353
437and there was
438an actor involved,
439
44095
44100:05:10,745 --> 00:05:15,532
442but very quickly, um,
443everything got real.
444
44596
44600:05:17,186 --> 00:05:21,495
447[indistinct chatter]
448
44997
45000:05:27,152 --> 00:05:30,199
451At the beginning,
452we didn't have the hubris
453
45498
45500:05:30,373 --> 00:05:32,288
456to think that we could start
457
45899
45900:05:32,723 --> 00:05:36,640
460a large global
461religious movement.
462
463100
46400:05:38,947 --> 00:05:40,731
465When the Satanic Temple
466got started,
467
468101
46900:05:41,036 --> 00:05:42,211
470I wanted to be sure
471
472102
47300:05:42,733 --> 00:05:45,040
474that Satanism
475was properly represented.
476
477103
47800:05:47,303 --> 00:05:49,958
479I very much felt
480that I was a Satanist,
481
482104
48300:05:50,132 --> 00:05:54,049
484but there was no need to kind
485of publicly advertise that.
486
487105
48800:05:56,486 --> 00:05:57,486
489Man: Lucien.
490
491106
49200:05:58,575 --> 00:05:59,575
493You excited?
494
495107
49600:06:00,969 --> 00:06:02,057
497Not yet.
498
499108
50000:06:03,145 --> 00:06:04,145
501Man: You excited?
502
503109
50400:06:04,929 --> 00:06:08,411
505No. I'm filled with angst.
506
507110
50800:06:08,933 --> 00:06:12,241
509I wanted somebody else
510to be the face of this,
511
512111
51300:06:12,546 --> 00:06:14,025
514but I... I found very quickly
515
516112
51700:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,370
518I didn't want somebody else
519to be the voice of this.
520
521113
52200:06:17,289 --> 00:06:18,943
523God and Satan work
524in mysterious ways,
525
526114
52700:06:19,117 --> 00:06:20,399
528and we're not really sure,
529you know,
530
531115
53200:06:20,423 --> 00:06:21,663
533how all this is gonna manifest.
534
535116
53600:06:22,033 --> 00:06:23,818
537Lucien: It became very clear
538that there was
539
540117
54100:06:23,992 --> 00:06:27,256
542no amount of coaching
543I could give somebody
544
545118
54600:06:27,865 --> 00:06:33,088
547who wasn't authentically
548attached to Satanism
549
550119
55100:06:33,436 --> 00:06:36,918
552that would make them a credible
553interview subject on the topic.
554
555120
55600:06:37,092 --> 00:06:38,963
557Man: Why'd you guys pick, uh,
558Governor Scott...
559
560121
56100:06:39,137 --> 00:06:43,664
562Lucien: When it became my face
563and my voice,
564
565122
56600:06:44,099 --> 00:06:48,843
567it needed to be everything
568I believed in and stood by,
569
570123
57100:06:49,191 --> 00:06:51,149
572or it could not be at all,
573
574124
57500:06:51,585 --> 00:06:56,416
576so that's when
577everything changed.
578
579125
58000:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,091
581Woman: We will begin
582with Lucien. All right, Lucien.
583
584126
58500:07:00,115 --> 00:07:02,117
586So is it, like,
587Lucien as in Lucifer?
588
589127
59000:07:02,291 --> 00:07:04,946
591Is that where... is that
592why you're called that?
593
594128
59500:07:06,077 --> 00:07:07,209
596Sure, as you like.
597
598129
59900:07:07,383 --> 00:07:08,906
600- [woman laughs]
601- As you like.
602
603130
60400:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,126
605I don't kn...
606Like, is that your birth name?
607
608131
60900:07:12,388 --> 00:07:13,781
610- No, it's not.
611- Okay.
612
613132
61400:07:14,259 --> 00:07:17,349
615So, what is it that first drew
616you to the Satanic Temple?
617
618133
61900:07:19,090 --> 00:07:21,441
620Well, I... I helped co-found
621the Satanic Temple.
622
623134
62400:07:22,224 --> 00:07:23,224
625Why?
626
627135
62800:07:24,879 --> 00:07:27,316
629Uh, why?
630Because it is an embodiment
631
632136
63300:07:27,490 --> 00:07:28,883
634of my deeply-held beliefs,
635
636137
63700:07:29,361 --> 00:07:32,234
638and I think there's a distinct
639need for a counterbalance
640
641138
64200:07:32,408 --> 00:07:36,107
643against the dominant religious
644privilege in America today.
645
646139
64700:07:36,543 --> 00:07:38,022
648What are the deeply-held beliefs
649
650140
65100:07:38,196 --> 00:07:40,851
652that drew you
653to the Satanic Temple?
654
655141
65600:07:42,418 --> 00:07:46,291
657Uh, essentially, we view, uh,
658Satan as a symbolic embodiment
659
660142
66100:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,425
662of the ultimate rebel
663against tyranny.
664
665143
66600:07:50,731 --> 00:07:52,839
667Nicholas: Once you realize how
668the media is constructed,
669
670144
67100:07:52,863 --> 00:07:55,300
672it becomes incredibly easy
673to manipulate.
674
675145
67600:07:55,649 --> 00:07:57,389
677[news theme plays]
678
679146
68000:07:57,607 --> 00:07:58,607
681Good evening to you,
682
683147
68400:07:59,043 --> 00:08:00,654
685at six o'clock
686I'm Chip Scarborough.
687
688148
68900:08:00,828 --> 00:08:02,569
690Well, the owner
691of a Meridian cemetery
692
693149
69400:08:02,743 --> 00:08:05,485
695has already said
696he plans to pursue charges
697
698150
69900:08:05,659 --> 00:08:08,488
700against members
701of New York's Satanic Temple,
702
703151
70400:08:08,749 --> 00:08:10,228
705and now police
706are investigating
707
708152
70900:08:10,402 --> 00:08:11,752
710the unusual ritual.
711
712153
71300:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,189
714This you have to see
715to believe.
716
717154
71800:08:14,537 --> 00:08:15,657
719A group of devil worshippers
720
721155
72200:08:16,452 --> 00:08:18,299
723giving Westboro Baptist Church
724a run for their money.
725
726156
72700:08:18,323 --> 00:08:19,542
728God hates fags.
729
730157
73100:08:20,064 --> 00:08:22,240
732Except you repent,
733you shall all likewise perish,
734
735158
73600:08:22,414 --> 00:08:24,982
737and God is not running
738out of room in hell.
739
740159
74100:08:26,114 --> 00:08:28,116
742Nicholas: How do you fuck
743with Fred Phelps?
744
745160
74600:08:28,290 --> 00:08:31,380
747Well... you fuck with his mom.
748
749161
75000:08:32,555 --> 00:08:34,875
751Woman: A group from New York's
752Satanic Temple made the trip
753
754162
75500:08:34,992 --> 00:08:38,039
756to Meridian to protest
757the Westboro Baptist Church.
758
759163
76000:08:38,213 --> 00:08:40,258
761They performed a ritual
762they called Pink Mass
763
764164
76500:08:40,432 --> 00:08:42,217
766on the grave
767of Catherine Johnston,
768
769165
77000:08:42,391 --> 00:08:45,263
771the mother of Westboro
772founder Fred Phelps, Jr.
773
774166
77500:08:45,568 --> 00:08:47,614
776The ceremony involved
777two same-sex couples
778
779167
78000:08:47,788 --> 00:08:49,006
781kissing over her grave.
782
783168
78400:08:49,398 --> 00:08:50,838
785They then declared
786Catherine Johnston
787
788169
78900:08:51,008 --> 00:08:52,836
790a lesbian in the afterlife.
791
792170
79300:08:53,924 --> 00:08:55,902
794Malcolm: One of the things
795that I wanted to play on is,
796
797171
79800:08:55,926 --> 00:08:57,711
799you know,
800the Mormons have the belief
801
802172
80300:08:57,928 --> 00:08:59,321
804that they can baptize the dead
805
806173
80700:08:59,495 --> 00:09:01,889
808and do
809this postmortem conversion,
810
811174
81200:09:02,237 --> 00:09:05,849
813so I proposed that every time
814a same-sex couple kisses,
815
816175
81700:09:06,023 --> 00:09:07,808
818that she's pleasured
819in the afterlife.
820
821176
82200:09:07,982 --> 00:09:10,288
823You know, which I took
824from "It's a Wonderful Life."
825
826177
82700:09:10,462 --> 00:09:11,822
828You know,
829"Every time a bell rings,
830
831178
83200:09:11,899 --> 00:09:13,074
833an angel gets its wings."
834
835179
83600:09:13,422 --> 00:09:17,557
837Every time a bell rings,
838an angel gets his wings.
839
840180
84100:09:18,209 --> 00:09:19,209
842That's right.
843
844181
84500:09:20,081 --> 00:09:21,885
846Lucien: And then developing,
847as these things do,
848
849182
85000:09:21,909 --> 00:09:26,435
851into the obvious idea,
852which is putting your testicles
853
854183
85500:09:26,609 --> 00:09:29,743
856on the tombstone of the
857founder's mother's grave.
858
859184
86000:09:31,092 --> 00:09:33,398
861It's remarkable,
862it hadn't happened before.
863
864185
86500:09:34,138 --> 00:09:36,924
866It is an unusual crime
867that we haven't come across,
868
869186
87000:09:37,228 --> 00:09:38,795
871to my knowledge, in a while.
872
873187
87400:09:39,187 --> 00:09:41,319
875Malcolm: There was a desperate
876attempt to figure out
877
878188
87900:09:41,493 --> 00:09:43,539
880- what to charge us with.
881- [woman giggles]
882
883189
88400:09:43,713 --> 00:09:47,108
885The headline read, "Police
886Want to Arrest," you know,
887
888190
88900:09:47,282 --> 00:09:49,501
890"Satanists
891who Turn the Dead Gay."
892
893191
89400:09:51,547 --> 00:09:55,029
895[speaking in Latin]
896Satana, blessed be.
897
898192
89900:09:55,203 --> 00:09:57,553
900Blasphemy isn't just
901
902193
90300:09:57,727 --> 00:10:00,295
904directed at other people
905to offend them.
906
907194
90800:10:00,469 --> 00:10:02,340
909Blasphemy is very much
910
911195
91200:10:02,514 --> 00:10:05,169
913a declaration
914of personal independence,
915
916196
91700:10:05,343 --> 00:10:09,173
918and I don't mind, of course,
919when people are offended.
920
921197
92200:10:09,347 --> 00:10:11,872
923[bell tolling]
924
925198
92600:10:18,661 --> 00:10:21,272
927Woman: It's a city known
928for its witch trials,
929
930199
93100:10:21,446 --> 00:10:24,014
932but the newest neighbors
933on Bridge Street in Salem
934
935200
93600:10:24,188 --> 00:10:27,844
937are Satanists, the religious
938and political organization
939
940201
94100:10:28,018 --> 00:10:31,195
942choosing this spot
943for its international headquarters.
944
945202
94600:10:31,805 --> 00:10:33,645
947Man: According to the
948Satanic Temple's website,
949
950203
95100:10:33,676 --> 00:10:36,331
952the group is all
953about religious pluralism.
954
955204
95600:10:40,248 --> 00:10:42,729
957Lucien: What we want to do
958is force people
959
960205
96100:10:42,903 --> 00:10:45,470
962to evaluate their notions
963of the United States
964
965206
96600:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,298
967being a Christian nation.
968
969207
97000:10:47,472 --> 00:10:49,997
971It's not.
972We're a secular nation.
973
974208
97500:10:50,214 --> 00:10:52,347
976We are supposed to be
977a democratic,
978
979209
98000:10:52,521 --> 00:10:55,872
981pluralistic nation.
982We are supposed to be a nation
983
984210
98500:10:56,046 --> 00:10:57,526
986that doesn't allow
987the government
988
989211
99000:10:57,831 --> 00:11:01,225
991to dictate what is appropriate
992religious expression.
993
994212
99500:11:06,535 --> 00:11:08,363
996The donors have to wait
997to find out
998
999213
100000:11:08,537 --> 00:11:10,495
1001whether those donations
1002are tax-deductible
1003
1004214
100500:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,541
1006once there's a ruling. Uh...
1007
1008215
100900:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,151
1010Early on it was agreed
1011
1012216
101300:11:14,369 --> 00:11:16,850
1014that Lucien would be
1015the spokesperson
1016
1017217
101800:11:17,328 --> 00:11:19,722
1019and that I would keep
1020in the background.
1021
1022218
102300:11:21,898 --> 00:11:24,335
1024Here's our...
1025our humble offices.
1026
1027219
102800:11:24,509 --> 00:11:27,382
1029This is Malcolm's desk,
1030and this is mine.
1031
1032220
103300:11:29,036 --> 00:11:30,254
1034Sorry about the mess.
1035
1036221
103700:11:30,428 --> 00:11:33,605
1038- [object clatters]
1039- [laughs]
1040
1041222
104200:11:34,781 --> 00:11:38,219
1043This is, uh, where we're going
1044to have the shop.
1045
1046223
104700:11:38,915 --> 00:11:44,051
1048This is where people will be
1049able to buy prints or T-shirts
1050
1051224
105200:11:44,225 --> 00:11:45,879
1053or whatever else
1054we have on sale.
1055
1056225
105700:11:48,882 --> 00:11:50,579
1058A lot of what we are doing
1059
1060226
106100:11:50,753 --> 00:11:52,668
1062is going to direct people's perception
1063
1064227
106500:11:52,842 --> 00:11:55,497
1066of what Satanism
1067will be hereafter...
1068
1069228
107000:11:56,585 --> 00:12:00,284
1071but the Satanic Temple
1072did not invent modern Satanism.
1073
1074229
107500:12:00,458 --> 00:12:04,767
1076- [audience applauding]
1077- [music playing]
1078
1079230
108000:12:04,941 --> 00:12:08,815
1081Host: You see now the Reverend
1082Anton Szandor LaVey,
1083
1084231
108500:12:09,119 --> 00:12:10,904
1086who is the founder
1087and high priest
1088
1089232
109000:12:11,078 --> 00:12:12,732
1091of the First Church of Satan,
1092
1093233
109400:12:12,949 --> 00:12:14,821
1095who uses,
1096as somewhat of a credo,
1097
1098234
109900:12:14,995 --> 00:12:16,170
1100this timeless quote,
1101
1102235
110300:12:16,605 --> 00:12:19,826
1104"Remember,
1105evil backwards spells live."
1106
1107236
110800:12:20,174 --> 00:12:22,785
1109[audience laughing]
1110
1111237
111200:12:22,959 --> 00:12:24,656
1113Somehow,
1114that never occurred to me.
1115
1116238
111700:12:25,222 --> 00:12:26,833
1118The most interesting thing
1119about Satanism
1120
1121239
112200:12:27,007 --> 00:12:31,663
1123is that people...
1124willingly choose to identify
1125
1126240
112700:12:31,838 --> 00:12:35,015
1128with an adversarial being.
1129
1130241
113100:12:36,146 --> 00:12:37,146
1132What are you doing?
1133
1134242
113500:12:37,626 --> 00:12:39,106
1136I'm giving a blessing
1137to the audience.
1138
1139243
114000:12:39,236 --> 00:12:40,516
1141I don't think
1142they appreciate it.
1143
1144244
114500:12:41,021 --> 00:12:42,215
1146- They were throwing it back.
1147- [audience laughing]
1148
1149245
115000:12:42,239 --> 00:12:44,328
1151This is the sign of the horns.
1152
1153246
115400:12:44,502 --> 00:12:46,374
1155Jesper: It's a founding aspect
1156of Satanism
1157
1158247
115900:12:46,548 --> 00:12:47,941
1160that you troll people.
1161
1162248
116300:12:48,419 --> 00:12:50,659
1164That's the original troll,
1165isn't it, is to say to people,
1166
1167249
116800:12:50,770 --> 00:12:53,337
1169"Yeah, I'm a Satanist,"
1170and see what happens to people.
1171
1172250
117300:12:53,511 --> 00:12:56,253
1174I mean, they just... they faint,
1175or they get angry,
1176
1177251
117800:12:56,427 --> 00:12:59,953
1179or whatever happens,
1180and then you move on from there.

1200

120200:13:09,832 --> 00:13:11,703
1203Anton: Satan is simply a word
1204
1205257
120600:13:11,878 --> 00:13:15,838
1207that means the adversary
1208or the opposition
1209
1210258
121100:13:16,143 --> 00:13:17,622
1212or the accuser.
1213
1214259
121500:13:18,014 --> 00:13:21,452
1216It doesn't necessarily mean
1217evil, or brutality, or cruelty.
1218
1219260
122000:13:21,670 --> 00:13:23,280
1221It simply means the dissenter.
1222
1223261
122400:13:23,454 --> 00:13:25,892
1225Well, I had a man
1226come to me the other day,
1227
1228262
122900:13:26,066 --> 00:13:28,111
1230and he said
1231that it was just terrible.
1232
1233263
123400:13:28,285 --> 00:13:29,983
1235When... when he joined
1236the Satanic Church,
1237
1238264
123900:13:30,157 --> 00:13:32,637
1240he was masturbating
1241just about every day,
1242
1243265
124400:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,509
1245and now he's masturbating
1246
1247266
124800:13:34,683 --> 00:13:36,163
1249two and sometimes
1250three times a day...
1251
1252267
125300:13:36,250 --> 00:13:37,836
1254- [all laughing]
1255- ...and he's very happy,
1256
1257268
125800:13:37,860 --> 00:13:39,420
1259much happier
1260than he's ever been before.
1261
1262269
126300:13:39,470 --> 00:13:40,926
1264- Man: That's an improvement.
1265- [all laughing]
1266
1267270
126800:13:40,950 --> 00:13:43,126
1269I always get a lift
1270when I come here.
1271
1272271
127300:13:43,648 --> 00:13:46,173
1274I suppose like other people do
1275when they go to church,
1276
1277272
127800:13:46,347 --> 00:13:49,350
1279which I haven't done
1280for many years now.

1285
1286274
128700:13:56,183 --> 00:13:57,543
1288Jesper:
1289Before the Church of Satan,
1290
1291275
129200:13:58,098 --> 00:14:00,709
1293every time you had someone
1294who was called a Satanist,
1295
1296276
129700:14:00,883 --> 00:14:03,581
1298that was because of attribution
1299by other people.
1300
1301277
130200:14:04,017 --> 00:14:05,975
1303- Cover her face...
1304- Woman: No!
1305
1306278
130700:14:06,149 --> 00:14:07,847
1308...with the mask of Satan.
1309
1310279
131100:14:10,371 --> 00:14:12,852
1312Jesper: But the Church of Satan
1313is a watershed moment
1314
1315280
131600:14:13,026 --> 00:14:15,071
1317in the history of Satanism
1318because that's where
1319
1320281
132100:14:15,245 --> 00:14:17,334
1322the attribution
1323of a Satanic identity
1324
1325282
132600:14:17,508 --> 00:14:20,990
1327is not just something that
1328some people do to others.
1329
1330283
133100:14:21,251 --> 00:14:23,688
1332It's something that people do
1333to themselves.
1334
1335284
133600:14:26,953 --> 00:14:27,953
1337One of the differences
1338
1339285
134000:14:28,476 --> 00:14:29,756
1341between the early Church
1342of Satan
1343
1344286
134500:14:30,391 --> 00:14:32,325
1346and the Satanic Temple,
1347that the early Church of Satan
1348
1349287
135000:14:32,349 --> 00:14:34,003
1351was much more
1352of a rat pack carnival.
1353
1354288
135500:14:34,699 --> 00:14:37,964
1356They were never political,
1357whereas the Satanic Temple
1358
1359289
136000:14:38,138 --> 00:14:42,838
1361is actually refining Satanism
1362and making it into a new tool,
1363
1364290
136500:14:43,012 --> 00:14:45,928
1366a new weapon
1367in the ongoing culture wars.

1378293
137900:15:32,322 --> 00:15:34,846
1380and a rebel,
1381then you are a Satanist
1382
1383294
138400:15:35,021 --> 00:15:37,806
1385in the eyes of many
1386in our community and society,
1387
1388295
138900:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,764
1390and certainly by people
1391in your government...
1392
1393296
139400:15:41,375 --> 00:15:42,506
1395whether you like it or not.
1396
1397297
139800:15:45,509 --> 00:15:48,034
1399Before I decided
1400that I was a Satanist,
1401
1402298
140300:15:48,208 --> 00:15:49,731
1404it was really the Bible
1405that said,
1406
1407299
140800:15:49,905 --> 00:15:51,385
1409"This is what
1410a Satanist is like."
1411
1412300
141300:15:52,777 --> 00:15:54,910

1415when I was a kid,
1416
1417301
141800:15:55,084 --> 00:15:57,652
1419and funny story
1420is that I played Eve
1421
1422302
142300:15:57,826 --> 00:16:00,350
1424in a musical in middle school.

1426
1427303
142800:16:03,049 --> 00:16:04,267
1429The story of Adam and Eve
1430
1431304
143200:16:04,528 --> 00:16:07,531
1433is the story
1434of Eve's original sin.
1435
1436305
143700:16:08,271 --> 00:16:11,971
1438Eve was very curious,
1439as her nature was as a woman.

1459
1460310
146100:16:26,246 --> 00:16:28,311
1462but at the same time,
1463it seems the most liberating,
1464
1465311
146600:16:28,335 --> 00:16:30,424
1467because if we did not have
1468that opportunity,
1469
1470312
147100:16:30,598 --> 00:16:32,469
1472we would have to be
1473in total servitude
1474
1475313
147600:16:32,643 --> 00:16:33,949
1477without free choice,
1478
1479314
148000:16:34,254 --> 00:16:37,257
1481and ultimate servitude
1482is slavery. [chuckles]

151200:17:06,286 --> 00:17:09,289

1515
1516322
151700:17:09,463 --> 00:17:11,726
1518rather than being controlled

1521323

1524about the Satanic Temple,
1525
1526324
152700:17:15,425 --> 00:17:17,949
1528I set up a time
1529to meet with Lucien.

1534
1535326
153600:17:23,346 --> 00:17:24,986
1537I realized that we have
1538very similar ideas
1539
1540327
154100:17:25,131 --> 00:17:28,656
1542of what contemporary Satanism
1543was evolving to be.

1553
1554330
155500:17:38,144 --> 00:17:39,797
1556so as a Satanist,
1557I believe that
1558
1559331
156000:17:39,971 --> 00:17:43,453
1561directly confronting injustice
1562and corrupt authority
1563
1564332
156500:17:44,019 --> 00:17:45,977
1566is an expression
1567of one's Satanic faith.
1568
1569333
157000:17:49,111 --> 00:17:53,202
1571And I believe activism
1572is a Satanic practice.

1596
1597339

1606
1607341
160800:18:14,441 --> 00:18:17,748

1611

1680
1681357
168200:19:07,581 --> 00:19:10,932

1685
1686358
168700:19:11,106 --> 00:19:12,977

1709more about the black mass
1710
1711363
171200:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,774
1713is Lucien Greaves.
1714So, Lucien, just for people...
1715
1716364
171700:19:26,948 --> 00:19:29,472
1718Nicholas: Lucien and Malcolm
1719had gotten permission
1720
1721365
172200:19:29,646 --> 00:19:31,344
1723to host a Black Mass...
1724
1725366
172600:19:32,606 --> 00:19:36,697
1727in Boston. Uh, yeah,
1728Boston's, uh,
1729
1730367
173100:19:36,914 --> 00:19:38,264
1732it's pretty fucking Catholic.
1733
1734368
173500:19:39,961 --> 00:19:43,094
1736A Black Mass is a grotesque,
1737
1738369
173900:19:43,269 --> 00:19:47,447
1740deliberate perversion of
1741a traditional Catholic mass,
1742
1743370
174400:19:47,621 --> 00:19:49,100
1745you know, quite vulgar,
1746
1747371
174800:19:49,623 --> 00:19:51,581
1749but then again,
1750a mass is kind of vulgar too,
1751
1752372
175300:19:51,755 --> 00:19:52,915
1754if you really think about it.
1755
1756373
175700:19:53,540 --> 00:19:54,908
1758I mean, you're drinking blood
1759and eating flesh?
1760
1761374
176200:19:54,932 --> 00:19:56,804
1763I mean, that...
1764that's just creepy.
1765
1766375
176700:19:57,413 --> 00:19:59,720
1768They asked if I wanted
1769to participate, so I flew out,
1770
1771376
177200:20:00,068 --> 00:20:01,588
1773and there was a lot
1774of miscommunication
1775
1776377
177700:20:01,678 --> 00:20:02,678
1778in the beginning.
1779
1780378
178100:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,961
1782But I did the work of getting
1783a lot of people to show up.
1784
1785379
178600:20:06,422 --> 00:20:08,032
1787The punk scene was mobilized.
1788
1789380
179000:20:10,296 --> 00:20:12,646
1791Lucien: We thought this would be
1792a small-scale event.
1793
1794381
179500:20:12,863 --> 00:20:15,301
1796A declaration of independence
1797from superstition
1798
1799382
180000:20:15,518 --> 00:20:19,957
1801was what it was meant to be,
1802but the archdiocese in Boston
1803
1804383
180500:20:20,436 --> 00:20:22,569
1806insisted
1807on seeing it another way.
1808
1809384
181000:20:22,743 --> 00:20:29,619
1811[indistinct chanting]
1812
1813385
181400:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,471
1815Reporter: Thousands of Catholic
1816
1817386
181800:20:33,797 --> 00:20:35,321
1819in a more-than-hour-long
1820procession
1821
1822387
182300:20:35,495 --> 00:20:36,931
1824through the streets
1825of Cambridge.
1826
1827388
182800:20:37,105 --> 00:20:40,717
1829If someone was going to do
1830a KKK reenactment
1831
1832389
183300:20:40,891 --> 00:20:43,154
1834or a minstrel show
1835or something like that,
1836
1837390
183800:20:43,329 --> 00:20:45,983
1839I would hope the reaction
1840would be outrage.
1841
1842391
184300:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,029
1844Man: This is definitely
1845an act of hatred,
1846
1847392
184800:20:48,203 --> 00:20:50,553
1849an act of bigotry
1850directed towards the Church
1851
1852393
185300:20:50,727 --> 00:20:52,338
1854and towards
1855her faithful people.
1856
1857394
185800:20:52,512 --> 00:20:54,272
1859We've actually got
1860a little bit of a petition
1861
1862395
186300:20:54,383 --> 00:20:57,038
1864if anybody watching
1865would like to sign.
1866
1867396
186800:20:57,212 --> 00:20:59,997
1869Nearly 60,000 names of people
1870
1871397
187200:21:00,171 --> 00:21:01,912
1873who objected
1874to this hateful event.
1875
1876398
187700:21:02,086 --> 00:21:03,673
1878Jex: There was a sense
1879that we should just give up
1880
1881399
188200:21:03,697 --> 00:21:05,438
1883and cancel it,
1884and I just remember feeling,
1885
1886400
188700:21:05,612 --> 00:21:07,918
1888like this unexpected sense
1889of justice and feel like,
1890
1891401
189200:21:08,092 --> 00:21:10,138
1893"No, we can't."
1894I ended up standing on a table
1895
1896402
189700:21:10,312 --> 00:21:11,550
1898and saying, like, "We weren't...
1899
1900403
190100:21:11,574 --> 00:21:12,854
1902We aren't gonna
1903give in to this."
1904
1905404
190600:21:14,403 --> 00:21:16,231
1907In just moments
1908near Harvard University,
1909
1910405
191100:21:16,405 --> 00:21:17,754
1912some very mean-spirited
1913students
1914
1915406
191600:21:18,015 --> 00:21:19,815
1917will be exercising
1918their First Amendment right
1919
1920407
192100:21:19,843 --> 00:21:21,976
1922by insulting Catholics
1923not just at Harvard
1924
1925408
192600:21:22,150 --> 00:21:23,499
1927but around the globe.
1928
1929409
193000:21:23,978 --> 00:21:25,825
1931They're about to start a satanic mass,
1932which they know
1933
1934410
193500:21:25,849 --> 00:21:28,461
1936is deeply offensive to Catholics.
1937What do I think?
1938
1939411
194000:21:28,635 --> 00:21:30,075
1941Well, frankly,
1942I think they're awful.
1943
1944412
194500:21:30,463 --> 00:21:31,463
1946Nicholas: It was nuts.
1947
1948413
194900:21:32,116 --> 00:21:34,336
1950It was way more
1951than we had prepared for,
1952
1953414
195400:21:34,641 --> 00:21:38,079
1955and hours before
1956we were supposed to go on,
1957
1958415
195900:21:38,253 --> 00:21:39,689
1960Harvard canceled it.
1961
1962416
196300:21:42,910 --> 00:21:44,670
1964Jex: This event was, like,
1965extremely chaotic,
1966
1967417
196800:21:44,781 --> 00:21:46,890
1969and there was no plan for who
1970is communicating with the media,
1971
1972418
197300:21:46,914 --> 00:21:48,805
1974and, like, I kind of got thrown
1975in front of a news camera.
1976
1977419
197800:21:48,829 --> 00:21:51,048
1979A very unproductive
1980conversation.
1981
1982420
198300:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,050
1984Uh, it's just very disappointing.
1985
1986421
198700:21:59,666 --> 00:22:02,016
1988We're looking for a change
1989of venue right now.
1990
1991422
199200:22:02,190 --> 00:22:04,018
1993Um,
1994we still have our participants.
1995
1996423
199700:22:04,192 --> 00:22:05,802
1998We haven't quite worked it out
1999yet.
2000
2001424
200200:22:06,412 --> 00:22:07,650
2003Woman: Now apparently
2004you've got this
2005
2006425
200700:22:07,674 --> 00:22:09,893
2008sort of moving Black Mass.
2009
2010426
201100:22:10,067 --> 00:22:11,347
2012Where do you think
2013they're going?
2014
2015427
201600:22:11,852 --> 00:22:13,177
2017Are they, like, going
2018undercover or underground?
2019
2020428
202100:22:13,201 --> 00:22:14,481
2022I mean, it's sort of interesting
2023
2024429
202500:22:14,985 --> 00:22:16,833
2026because we've been chasing them
2027for the last 90 minutes.
2028
2029430
203000:22:16,857 --> 00:22:19,297
2031Well, hopefully... [chuckles]
2032...hopefully they're going away,
2033
2034431
203500:22:19,381 --> 00:22:20,461
2036that's where they're going.
2037
2038432
203900:22:21,252 --> 00:22:25,822
2040Some, uh, Chinese restaurant
2041with a comedy club up top of it
2042
2043433
204400:22:25,996 --> 00:22:29,652
2045just off campus agreed
2046to host the Black Mass.
2047
2048434
204900:22:31,611 --> 00:22:32,655
2050Reporter: The Black Mass,
2051
2052435
205300:22:33,221 --> 00:22:34,875
2054featuring four individuals
2055in hoods,
2056
2057436
205800:22:35,136 --> 00:22:37,136
2059one man in a white suit,
2060a cape, and a horned mask,
2061
2062437
206300:22:37,225 --> 00:22:40,054
2064and a woman revealed to be
2065wearing only lingerie.
2066
2067438
206800:22:40,620 --> 00:22:43,666
2069No word on whether they shared
2070a scorpion bowl after.
2071
2072439
207300:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,671
2074[wolf howls]
2075
2076440
207700:22:49,498 --> 00:22:51,587
2078We were all slightly broken
2079the next day,
2080
2081441
208200:22:52,762 --> 00:22:55,330
2083and I remember just, like,
2084I had this just wave
2085
2086442
208700:22:55,504 --> 00:22:58,942
2088of just this core of, like,
2089sadness. I felt guilty.
2090
2091443
209200:22:59,421 --> 00:23:01,902
2093I felt just, "What did I do?"
2094
2095444
209600:23:02,337 --> 00:23:04,252
2097And then it just occurred to me
2098
2099445
210000:23:04,426 --> 00:23:06,385
2101this is the Catholic Church
2102of Boston,
2103
2104446
210500:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,910
2106which covered up
2107decades of child rape,
2108
2109447
211000:23:10,084 --> 00:23:13,696
2111moved priests around,
2112covered it up,
2113
2114448
211500:23:13,870 --> 00:23:17,308
2116let them continue
2117their raping and child abuse
2118
2119449
212000:23:17,483 --> 00:23:20,486
2121and then had the gall to say
2122what we're doing was sinful?
2123
2124450
212500:23:20,660 --> 00:23:22,357
2126I mean, fuck them.
2127
2128451
212900:23:22,662 --> 00:23:26,230
2130Uh, that was the moment
2131that I really became a Satanist.
2132
2133452
213400:23:32,236 --> 00:23:33,934
2135Woman: Let's shift gears
2136a little bit.
2137
2138453
213900:23:34,282 --> 00:23:35,718
2140Tell me about Oklahoma.
2141
2142454
214300:23:36,676 --> 00:23:39,853
2144Okay, so Oklahoma had
2145a Ten Commandments monument
2146
2147455
214800:23:40,027 --> 00:23:41,289
2149on government property.
2150
2151456
215200:23:41,985 --> 00:23:44,423
2153In my view, it's clearly
2154making a religious statement
2155
2156457
215700:23:44,597 --> 00:23:47,164
2158by doing that,
2159and the Satanic Temple says
2160
2161458
216200:23:47,338 --> 00:23:49,138
2163if you're gonna put
2164your giant piece of marble
2165
2166459
216700:23:49,210 --> 00:23:51,821
2168that says, "Christianity,
2169Christianity, Christianity,"
2170
2171460
217200:23:51,995 --> 00:23:55,216
2173then you also need to put up
2174our gigantic monument
2175
2176461
217700:23:55,521 --> 00:23:56,565
2178to Satanism.
2179
2180462
218100:23:59,089 --> 00:24:02,179
2182Just imagine it,
2183a statue of Satan right here
2184
2185463
218600:24:02,353 --> 00:24:04,617
2187next to the Ten Commandments
2188at the State Capitol.
2189
2190464
219100:24:04,791 --> 00:24:07,968
2192The statue will be a symbol
2193of Satan as a goat.
2194
2195465
219600:24:08,142 --> 00:24:09,360
2197I want to show you
2198
2199466
220000:24:09,839 --> 00:24:11,600
2201what this is gonna look like.
2202Take a look here.
2203
2204467
220500:24:11,624 --> 00:24:14,278
2206It's a seven-foot-tall
2207goat-headed demon
2208
2209468
221000:24:14,453 --> 00:24:17,368
2211sitting on a throne
2212with two children next to it.
2213
2214469
221500:24:17,543 --> 00:24:22,112
2216Lucien:
2217
2218470
221900:24:22,983 --> 00:24:24,343
2220Newscaster:
2221They submitted designs,
2222
2223471
222400:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,377
2225and they hope construction
2226will start soon.
2227
2228472
222900:24:26,943 --> 00:24:28,823
2230If we're gonna do this,
2231we're gonna do it right.
2232
2233473
223400:24:29,163 --> 00:24:31,948
2235This is not something
2236that can be easily ripped down.
2237
2238474
223900:24:32,122 --> 00:24:33,602
2240Like, we're gonna
2241do this in bronze.
2242
2243475
224400:24:33,776 --> 00:24:35,216
2245We're gonna make
2246something beautiful.
2247
2248476
224900:24:35,299 --> 00:24:36,739
2250We're gonna make
2251something permanent.
2252
2253477
225400:24:36,910 --> 00:24:38,607
2255So we decided to raise money
2256
2257478
225800:24:38,781 --> 00:24:42,263
2259to make
2260a gigantic Satanic statue.
2261
2262479
226300:24:42,437 --> 00:24:45,875
2264And I have a friend who studied
2265traditional sculpting,
2266
2267480
226800:24:46,049 --> 00:24:48,443
2269so I called him up,
2270told him the deal.
2271
2272481
227300:24:48,965 --> 00:24:51,054
2274He said, "Are you serious?"
2275
2276482
227700:24:51,315 --> 00:24:53,535
2278and I said, "Yes, I am,"
2279and he said...
2280
2281483
228200:24:54,841 --> 00:24:56,103
2283"I'm going to clear
2284
2285484
228600:24:56,277 --> 00:24:57,931
2287the next six months
2288of my schedule."

2355you know, goat head,
2356
2357499
235800:25:37,231 --> 00:25:39,233
2359I mean, everything
2360you associate with Satanism.
2361
2362500
236300:25:39,407 --> 00:25:41,191
2364Lucien became involved
2365at that point
2366
2367501
236800:25:41,365 --> 00:25:43,803
2369and kind of codified it
2370into an actual Baphomet.
2371
2372502
237300:25:44,325 --> 00:25:47,241
2374The Baphomet image was taken
2375
2376503
237700:25:47,415 --> 00:25:50,679
2378from a 19th century drawing
2379of the sabbatic goat.
2380
2381504
238200:25:52,507 --> 00:25:54,074
2383Nicholas: I originally wanted
2384bat wings,
2385
2386505
238700:25:54,248 --> 00:25:55,768
2388but a Baphomet
2389does not have bat wings.
2390
2391506
239200:25:55,902 --> 00:25:57,294
2393It has angel wings.
2394
2395507
239600:25:59,122 --> 00:26:02,735
2397We decided that Iggy Pop
2398would be the torso.
2399
2400508
240100:26:04,606 --> 00:26:07,348
2402And a real Baphomet
2403traditionally has breasts,
2404
2405509
240600:26:07,522 --> 00:26:09,437
2407but because we wanted
2408to get this
2409
2410510
241100:26:09,611 --> 00:26:10,873
2412in front of the State Capitol,
2413
2414511
241500:26:11,265 --> 00:26:12,764
2416we were worried that
2417the breasts would hinder us
2418
2419512
242000:26:12,788 --> 00:26:13,789
2421from doing that.
2422
2423513
242400:26:15,225 --> 00:26:16,705
2425One of the things
2426that I insisted upon
2427
2428514
242900:26:16,879 --> 00:26:20,840
2430was having two children...
2431looking up.
2432
2433515
243400:26:22,711 --> 00:26:26,454
2435Having little kids around it,
2436that's just ridiculous.
2437
2438516
243900:26:26,802 --> 00:26:28,891
2440Are we making a mockery
2441of everything
2442
2443517
244400:26:29,065 --> 00:26:30,893
2445with regard to Christianity
2446in this society?
2447
2448518
244900:26:31,067 --> 00:26:32,503
2450You may not like the Satanists.
2451
2452519
245300:26:32,678 --> 00:26:34,288
2454Guess what?
2455That doesn't matter.
2456
2457520
245800:26:35,028 --> 00:26:36,832
2459- Reporter: Do you? Do you?
2460- David: Everybody is equal.
2461
2462521
246300:26:36,856 --> 00:26:38,696
2464I don't care. All religions
2465are the same to me.
2466
2467522
246800:26:38,858 --> 00:26:40,575
2469Reporter: So you think it's perfectly fine
2470to put a satanic
2471
2472523
247300:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,185
2474whatever message
2475they're gonna have up there?
2476
2477524
247800:26:42,209 --> 00:26:43,534
2479- How crazy is it?
2480- Yes. I mean... You believe
2481
2482525
248300:26:43,558 --> 00:26:44,918
2484in an invisible man
2485in the sky too.
2486
2487526
248800:26:45,255 --> 00:26:46,276
2489You call him Satan,
2490you call him God. I don't care.
2491
2492527
249300:26:46,300 --> 00:26:47,300
2494Whatever I believe in...
2495
2496528
249700:26:47,997 --> 00:26:49,540
2498Hollow: I had followed
2499the Satanic Temple
2500
2501529
250200:26:49,564 --> 00:26:50,957
2503in the news
2504when they had announced
2505
2506530
250700:26:51,305 --> 00:26:52,761
2508that they were making
2509the Baphomet statue.
2510
2511531
251200:26:52,785 --> 00:26:55,048
2513I thought it was
2514genuinely inspired.
2515
2516532
251700:26:55,483 --> 00:26:56,963
2518I thought it was hilarious.
2519
2520533
252100:26:57,137 --> 00:26:59,400
2522And I was completely astounded.
2523
2524534
252500:26:59,574 --> 00:27:01,620
2526These guys are super cool.
2527These are my people.
2528
2529535
253000:27:01,794 --> 00:27:03,491
2531This is the best thing
2532I've ever seen.
2533
2534536
253500:27:03,665 --> 00:27:06,059
2536- I was like, "Holy shit."
2537- I want to be a part of this.
2538
2539537
254000:27:08,888 --> 00:27:11,151
2541Woman: I think
2542I donated 25 dollars,
2543
2544538
254500:27:11,325 --> 00:27:13,588
2546and then I wrote them and said,
2547"If you're ever in L.A.
2548
2549539
255000:27:13,762 --> 00:27:15,155
2551and you need some help,
2552hit me up."
2553
2554540
255500:27:15,546 --> 00:27:16,915
2556I think you're
2557an incredible organization,
2558
2559541
256000:27:16,939 --> 00:27:18,506
2561and I would really like
2562to be involved.
2563
2564542
256500:27:24,730 --> 00:27:26,446
2566Jay D: From a constitutional
2567law perspective,
2568
2569543
257000:27:26,470 --> 00:27:28,100
2571I'm really interested
2572in the Satanic Temple
2573
2574544
257500:27:28,124 --> 00:27:30,474
2576because it is basically
2577making these public bodies
2578
2579545
258000:27:30,649 --> 00:27:34,478
2581confront the real implications
2582of their decisions
2583
2584546
258500:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,350
2586to allow religion
2587into the public square.
2588
2589547
259000:27:36,524 --> 00:27:38,154
2591The government can't say,
2592"You're a good religion.
2593
2594548
259500:27:38,178 --> 00:27:39,178
2596You're a bad religion."
2597
2598549
259900:27:39,527 --> 00:27:41,026
2600- What?
2601- That's why you should not have
2602
2603550
260400:27:41,050 --> 00:27:42,288
2605religious artifacts
2606on public property.
2607
2608551
260900:27:42,312 --> 00:27:44,053
2610Their figurehead
2611is an Antichrist.
2612
2613552
261400:27:44,227 --> 00:27:45,827
2615They should be able to put
2616the statue up,
2617
2618553
261900:27:45,968 --> 00:27:48,101
2620and then they should be shot
2621right next to it,
2622
2623554
262400:27:48,275 --> 00:27:50,514
2625- and then we take it down.
2626- Man: So violence is the way
2627
2628555
262900:27:50,538 --> 00:27:52,298
2630- of dealing with it?
2631- Man 2: Yes. You're advocating
2632
2633556
263400:27:52,322 --> 00:27:54,242
2635violence against people
2636with religious beliefs...
2637
2638557
263900:27:56,544 --> 00:27:58,372
2640Lucien: The Baphomet monument
2641is far more
2642
2643558
264400:27:58,546 --> 00:28:02,419
2645than simply some middle finger
2646to the evangelical right.
2647
2648559
264900:28:03,203 --> 00:28:06,032
2650Really... we were...
2651
2652560
265300:28:06,510 --> 00:28:09,339
2654we were giving the Oklahoma
2655government a civics lesson.
2656
2657561
265800:28:10,514 --> 00:28:12,212
2659Reporter: It must be removed.
2660
2661562
266200:28:12,386 --> 00:28:14,736
2663That is the order on the
2664Ten Commandments monument
2665
2666563
266700:28:14,910 --> 00:28:17,696
2668outside the State Capitol
2669in a seven-to-two vote
2670
2671564
267200:28:17,870 --> 00:28:19,219
2673by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
2674
2675565
267600:28:19,523 --> 00:28:20,805
2677Reporter 1: Well, a group
2678of Satanists
2679
2680566
268100:28:20,829 --> 00:28:22,309
2682is tonight claiming victory.
2683
2684567
268500:28:22,744 --> 00:28:25,225
2686Are you still pushing to have
2687the goat with the horns
2688
2689568
269000:28:25,399 --> 00:28:27,227
2691and so on put up
2692on the State Capitol grounds?
2693
2694569
269500:28:28,881 --> 00:28:30,752
2696No, we don't want
2697our monument there
2698
2699570
270000:28:30,926 --> 00:28:32,754
2701without the Ten Commandments there. Um,
2702
2703571
270400:28:32,928 --> 00:28:35,583
2705the point all along was
2706that it would complement
2707
2708572
270900:28:35,757 --> 00:28:37,037
2710and contrast
2711the Ten Commandments
2712
2713573
271400:28:37,541 --> 00:28:40,414
2715and reaffirm that we live
2716in a pluralistic nation
2717
2718574
271900:28:40,588 --> 00:28:43,504
2720that respects diversity
2721and religious liberty.
2722
2723575
272400:28:56,996 --> 00:29:01,000
2725I joined this group
2726because I saw the TST website,
2727
2728576
272900:29:01,348 --> 00:29:03,393
2730and it was something
2731that spoke to me.
2732
2733577
273400:29:14,883 --> 00:29:16,339
2735- Thank you.
2736- Lucien: When people wanted
2737
2738578
273900:29:16,363 --> 00:29:18,974
2740to start identifying
2741with the Satanic Temple,
2742
2743579
274400:29:19,235 --> 00:29:21,498
2745there was no turning back
2746on that.
2747
2748580
274900:29:21,672 --> 00:29:23,109
2750People would write us messages
2751
2752581
275300:29:23,283 --> 00:29:24,643
2754and were wanting
2755to get involved...
2756
2757582
275800:29:25,981 --> 00:29:28,854
2759so we decided
2760to allow people to apply
2761
2762583
276300:29:29,028 --> 00:29:30,812
2764to run a chapter
2765in their own city.
2766
2767584
276800:29:31,291 --> 00:29:32,292
2769[indistinct chatter]
2770
2771585
277200:29:32,945 --> 00:29:35,556
2773Jex: I decided to launch
2774a chapter in Detroit.
2775
2776586
277700:29:36,513 --> 00:29:38,951
2778Response was incredible.
2779It was huge.
2780
2781587
278200:29:40,169 --> 00:29:42,084
2783Hail Satan. Hail Satan.
2784
2785588
278600:29:45,218 --> 00:29:46,618
2787Jex: I don't know
2788if I was surprised
2789
2790589
279100:29:46,741 --> 00:29:48,101
2792that people wanted
2793to get involved.
2794
2795590
279600:29:48,743 --> 00:29:51,103
2797I was surprised at how many people
2798wanted to get involved.
2799
2800591
280100:29:53,922 --> 00:29:55,552
2802Sadie: All right, friends.
2803Thanks for coming.
2804
2805592
280600:29:55,576 --> 00:29:57,621
2807Um, I want to tell you guys
2808to start with
2809
2810593
281100:29:58,405 --> 00:30:00,711
2812that we have three people
2813that we want to make
2814
2815594
281600:30:00,886 --> 00:30:05,455
2817new members today.
2818Nick, and Dell, and Erin.
2819
2820595
282100:30:06,674 --> 00:30:08,067
2822We have a lot of work
2823to do,
2824
2825596
282600:30:08,545 --> 00:30:11,331
2827and I think Christian privilege
2828is a huge problem in our country
2829
2830597
283100:30:11,505 --> 00:30:14,595
2832because it dictates our laws.
2833It dictates everything we do,
2834
2835598
283600:30:14,769 --> 00:30:17,032
2837what bathroom I can use
2838in some states.
2839
2840599
284100:30:17,206 --> 00:30:19,513
2842- Hail Satan. [laughs]
2843- Hail Satan.
2844
2845600
284600:30:23,343 --> 00:30:27,042
2847I've just always been
2848an extremely curious person.
2849
2850601
285100:30:27,216 --> 00:30:28,827
2852And I used to spend
2853a lot of time
2854
2855602
285600:30:29,001 --> 00:30:31,612
2857at the bookstore alone
2858because I was a huge loser.
2859
2860603
286100:30:31,786 --> 00:30:33,744
2862'Cause I don't like to be
2863involved in groups.
2864
2865604
286600:30:33,919 --> 00:30:35,311
2867I'm not a very social person.
2868
2869605
287000:30:35,485 --> 00:30:37,357
2871Most of my interactions
2872are online.
2873
2874606
287500:30:37,531 --> 00:30:40,316
2876It wasn't until I took
2877that step to try to meet
2878
2879607
288000:30:40,490 --> 00:30:44,668
2881these people, that's where
2882it really all came together,
2883
2884608
288500:30:45,278 --> 00:30:46,975
2886and I was terrified that I was
2887just gonna
2888
2889609
289000:30:47,149 --> 00:30:48,629
2891meet a bunch of people
2892that were like,
2893
2894610
289500:30:48,803 --> 00:30:50,085
2896"All right, so we're gonna
2897meet up at the church.
2898
2899611
290000:30:50,109 --> 00:30:51,371
2901We'll hand out
2902spray paint cans,
2903
2904612
290500:30:51,632 --> 00:30:53,852
2906and we'll kick over
2907some graves." And...
2908
2909613
291000:30:55,462 --> 00:30:56,637
2911everyone was amazing.
2912
2913614
291400:30:56,811 --> 00:30:57,856
2915I came from a very,
2916
2917615
291800:30:58,378 --> 00:31:00,162
2919like, conservatively
2920religious background.
2921
2922616
292300:31:00,336 --> 00:31:04,688
2924I was very much a devout
2925Christian growing up.
2926
2927617
292800:31:05,124 --> 00:31:06,690
2929You could almost say a zealot.
2930
2931618
293200:31:06,952 --> 00:31:08,779
2933I've taught Bible school
2934in our church.
2935
2936619
293700:31:08,954 --> 00:31:10,738
2938I've taught Sunday school
2939in our church,
2940
2941620
294200:31:10,912 --> 00:31:14,698
2943and at the age of 13,
2944I was called to be a deacon.
2945
2946621
294700:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,179
2948The day that I graduated
2949confirmation,
2950
2951622
295200:31:17,353 --> 00:31:18,789
2953you know,
2954we're sitting in church,
2955
2956623
295700:31:18,964 --> 00:31:20,487
2958and, you know,
2959we're supposed to feel
2960
2961624
296200:31:20,661 --> 00:31:23,011
2963the holy spirit come in,
2964and I'm just like...
2965
2966625
296700:31:24,621 --> 00:31:25,840
2968[groans softly]
2969
2970626
297100:31:26,928 --> 00:31:27,928
2972[exhales] ...okay.
2973
2974627
297500:31:28,408 --> 00:31:30,149
2976When I was in sixth grade,
2977
2978628
297900:31:30,584 --> 00:31:33,892
2980we went on a field trip
2981to see the film Gandhi.
2982
2983629
298400:31:34,893 --> 00:31:37,721
2985The next day
2986our history teacher said,
2987
2988630
298900:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,376
2990"You realize that in spite
2991of all these great things
2992
2993631
299400:31:40,550 --> 00:31:43,162
2995that he did for his countrymen
2996and everything like that,
2997
2998632
299900:31:43,336 --> 00:31:46,382
3000because he wasn't a Christian,
3001he went to hell,"
3002
3003633
300400:31:46,992 --> 00:31:48,950
3005and I'm like, "Really?"
3006
3007634
300800:31:49,255 --> 00:31:53,346
3009This guy almost invented
3010the idea of nonviolent protest,
3011
3012635
301300:31:53,650 --> 00:31:55,826
3014but he's not a Christian,
3015so he went to hell.
3016
3017636
301800:31:56,001 --> 00:31:59,352
3019I'm like, "Is that the moral
3020to this story? Really?
3021
3022637
302300:31:59,526 --> 00:32:01,180
3024I call bullshit!"
3025
3026638
302700:32:01,963 --> 00:32:04,096
3028This thing inside me
3029was just, like...
3030
3031639
303200:32:05,314 --> 00:32:08,187
3033I want to be the opposite
3034of what these people are.
3035
3036640
303700:32:09,275 --> 00:32:13,018
3038That's when I started, like,
3039looking for Satan anywhere.
3040
3041641
304200:32:14,193 --> 00:32:16,760
3043- Hail Satan.
3044- Crowd: Hail Satan.
3045
3046642
304700:32:17,022 --> 00:32:18,153
3048[chuckling]
3049
3050643
305100:32:18,327 --> 00:32:21,983
3052[indistinct chatter]
3053
3054644
305500:32:22,723 --> 00:32:24,483
3056Chalice: When I became a member
3057of the Satanic Temple,
3058
3059645
306000:32:24,507 --> 00:32:26,770
3061when I fully embraced
3062who I was as a Satanist,
3063
3064646
306500:32:27,075 --> 00:32:28,424
3066uh, it was my coming home.
3067
3068647
306900:32:29,208 --> 00:32:31,079
3070This is crazy. Isn't this crazy?
3071
3072648
307300:32:31,253 --> 00:32:32,428
3074[chuckling]
3075
3076649
307700:32:32,863 --> 00:32:34,583
3078You all, like,
3079came from all over the place.
3080
3081650
308200:32:34,735 --> 00:32:36,302
3083Man:
3084
3085651
308600:32:36,606 --> 00:32:37,886
3087- Woman 1: Yeah.
3088- Woman 2: Yeah.
3089
3090652
309100:32:37,912 --> 00:32:39,827
3092[all laughing]
3093
3094653
309500:32:40,001 --> 00:32:43,135
3096Invoking Satan is invoking
3097the struggle for justice
3098
3099654
310000:32:43,309 --> 00:32:45,572
3101and equality for everyone.
3102
3103655
310400:32:46,355 --> 00:32:47,878
3105Stu: Invoking Satan
3106is the firm denial
3107
3108656
310900:32:48,053 --> 00:32:49,576
3110that only one point of view
3111is correct.
3112
3113657
311400:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,510
3115A willingness to fight
3116for all points of view
3117
3118658
311900:32:51,665 --> 00:32:53,449
3120in accordance with reason
3121is imperative.
3122
3123659
312400:32:53,841 --> 00:32:54,841
3125Michelle: Invoking Satan
3126
3127660
312800:32:55,234 --> 00:32:57,105
3129is to reach out
3130without reservation
3131
3132661
313300:32:57,279 --> 00:32:58,759
3134and eat from the tree
3135of knowledge
3136
3137662
313800:32:58,933 --> 00:33:01,501
3139rather than be subjected
3140to the whims of blind faith.
3141
3142663
314300:33:01,936 --> 00:33:03,807
3144We will no longer choose
3145apathy over action
3146
3147664
314800:33:03,982 --> 00:33:05,505
3149and perpetuate
3150our own oppression.
3151
3152665
315300:33:06,158 --> 00:33:08,029
3154All: Ave Satanas.
3155
3156666
315700:33:08,464 --> 00:33:09,784
3158- All: Ave Satanas.
3159- Ave Satanas.
3160
3161667
316200:33:09,944 --> 00:33:12,120
3163All: Hail Satan!
3164
3165668
316600:33:13,078 --> 00:33:14,993
3167- Oh, those are cute.
3168- [indistinct chatter]
3169
3170669
317100:33:15,167 --> 00:33:19,475
3172Satanism is looking out
3173for the Other
3174
3175670
317600:33:19,998 --> 00:33:21,434
3177because we are the Other.
3178
3179671
318000:33:23,740 --> 00:33:29,224
3181In three years, we have gone
3182from three people to 50,000.
3183
3184672
318500:33:29,398 --> 00:33:32,749
3186[crowd cheering]
3187
3188673
318900:33:32,923 --> 00:33:35,317
3190As we bring the Satanic
3191revolution to the world,
3192
3193674
319400:33:35,491 --> 00:33:40,453
3195we do indeed invoke Satan
3196and all that he means to us.
3197
3198675
319900:33:40,844 --> 00:33:44,370
3200Join us in reciting,
3201ave Satanas!
3202
3203676
320400:33:44,544 --> 00:33:46,633
3205Crowd: Ave Satanas!
3206
3207677
320800:33:46,807 --> 00:33:50,158
3209- Hail Satan!
3210- All: Hail Satan!
3211

321300:33:50,332 --> 00:33:54,119
3214- Ave Satanas!
3215- All: Ave Satanas!
3216

321800:33:54,293 --> 00:33:57,818
3219- Hail Satan!
3220- All: Hail Satan!
3221
3222680
322300:33:57,992 --> 00:34:00,038
3224[crowd cheering]
3225
3226681
322700:34:10,439 --> 00:34:12,702
3228Stu: I was just a member,
3229a card-carrying member,
3230
3231682
323200:34:12,876 --> 00:34:15,140
3233and I wanted to get
3234more involved,
3235
3236683
323700:34:15,314 --> 00:34:16,924
3238but I had no real
3239aspirations to be...
3240
3241684
324200:34:17,838 --> 00:34:20,536
3243you know, I don't know.
3244I just wanted to do something.
3245
3246685
324700:34:21,624 --> 00:34:24,627
3248In the capital of Phoenix,
3249there were these invocations
3250
3251686
325200:34:24,801 --> 00:34:27,021
3253or prayers before city council meetings.
3254
3255687
325600:34:27,369 --> 00:34:30,111
3257So please, if you can,
3258stand for the invocation.
3259
3260688
326100:34:31,286 --> 00:34:33,767
3262Stu: It's usually
3263a hundred percent Christian,
3264
3265689
326600:34:33,941 --> 00:34:36,813
3267and then every now and then
3268they'll throw another group in
3269
3270690
327100:34:36,987 --> 00:34:38,511
3272to celebrate
3273how diverse they are.
3274
3275691
327600:34:39,294 --> 00:34:41,403
3277Michelle: I was a nobody.
3278I was kind of, like, you know,
3279
3280692
328100:34:41,427 --> 00:34:43,646
3282just in this organization
3283as a bystander,
3284
3285693
328600:34:43,820 --> 00:34:46,040
3287commenting
3288and supporting online,
3289
3290694
329100:34:46,258 --> 00:34:49,130
3292and then I was very interested
3293in helping out
3294
3295695
329600:34:49,304 --> 00:34:51,089
3297in whatever capacity
3298that I could.
3299
3300696
330100:34:51,567 --> 00:34:53,874
3302Stu: Michelle was a radio personality
3303at the time.
3304
3305697
330600:34:54,048 --> 00:34:56,616
3307I was an attorney,
3308and the first thing we did
3309
3310698
331100:34:56,790 --> 00:34:57,790
3312was we wrote an email
3313
3314699
331500:34:58,270 --> 00:34:59,750
3316to the city clerk in Phoenix
3317and said,
3318
3319700
332000:34:59,793 --> 00:35:01,510
3321"Hey, we see you have
3322this invocation program
3323
3324701
332500:35:01,534 --> 00:35:03,534
3326on a rotating basis.
3327We'd like to be on that list."
3328
3329702
333000:35:03,623 --> 00:35:04,943
3331We got a response email
3332that said,
3333
3334703
333500:35:04,972 --> 00:35:06,016
3336"Okay, here's your date."
3337
3338704
333900:35:06,495 --> 00:35:09,107
3340A lot of people talking
3341about the Satanic Temple
3342
3343705
334400:35:09,281 --> 00:35:11,674
3345in Tucson,
3346set to give an invocation
3347
3348706
334900:35:11,848 --> 00:35:13,676
3350at the Phoenix city
3351council meeting
3352
3353707
335400:35:13,937 --> 00:35:14,982
3355coming up next month.
3356
3357708
335800:35:15,461 --> 00:35:18,464
3359"Let us demand
3360that individuals be judged
3361
3362709
336300:35:18,638 --> 00:35:19,987
3364for their concrete actions."
3365
3366710
336700:35:20,292 --> 00:35:21,892
3368Reporter: That is just part
3369of the prayer
3370
3371711
337200:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,339
3373that members of the
3374Satanic Temple plan to read
3375
3376712
337700:35:24,644 --> 00:35:26,044
3378at the Phoenix city
3379council meeting.
3380
3381713
338200:35:26,211 --> 00:35:27,536
3383Stu: People that were
3384interviewing us
3385
3386714
338700:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,952
3388were bringing holy water
3389with them.
3390
3391715
339200:35:29,344 --> 00:35:31,129
3393Uh, it was...
3394it was complete insanity,
3395
3396716
339700:35:31,303 --> 00:35:33,019
3398and there came a point
3399where Michelle and I were like,
3400
3401717
340200:35:33,043 --> 00:35:34,043
3403"What have we done?"
3404
3405718
340600:35:34,219 --> 00:35:35,481
3407You wouldn't let ISIS come in
3408
3409719
341000:35:35,655 --> 00:35:37,255
3411and give a prayer
3412at the city of Phoenix.
3413
3414720
341500:35:37,309 --> 00:35:38,875
3416Are you comparing these guys
3417to ISIS?
3418
3419721
342000:35:39,049 --> 00:35:41,704
3421Well, ISIS is evil.
3422What is Satan?
3423
3424722
342500:35:42,357 --> 00:35:44,248
3426Jim: I'd like to make a motion
3427to change the practice
3428
3429723
343000:35:44,272 --> 00:35:45,360
3431relating to invocations
3432
3433724
343400:35:45,665 --> 00:35:47,185
3435and those chosen
3436to give the invocation
3437
3438725
343900:35:47,232 --> 00:35:48,972
3440be residents
3441of the city of Phoenix.
3442
3443726
344400:35:49,190 --> 00:35:50,191
3445That's okay to do that.
3446
3447727
344800:35:50,670 --> 00:35:52,454
3449That's constitutional
3450to change it,
3451
3452728
345300:35:52,933 --> 00:35:53,934
3454but what we couldn't do
3455
3456729
345700:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,937
3458is apply it retroactively
3459in this case.
3460
3461730
346200:35:57,242 --> 00:36:00,027
3463That would be
3464an unconstitutional suppression
3465
3466731
346700:36:00,419 --> 00:36:03,073
3468of a minority
3469religious viewpoint,
3470
3471732
347200:36:03,552 --> 00:36:05,902
3473which is in contravention
3474of the First Amendment
3475
3476733
347700:36:06,076 --> 00:36:07,426
3478of the United States
3479Constitution.
3480
3481734
348200:36:09,123 --> 00:36:10,709
3483Stu: We knew that there were
3484gonna be meetings,
3485
3486735
348700:36:10,733 --> 00:36:12,300
3488but we decided that, uh,
3489
3490736
349100:36:12,605 --> 00:36:14,125
3492it was probably dangerous
3493for us to go.
3494
3495737
349600:36:14,215 --> 00:36:15,975
3497I mean, people were
3498threatening to murder us.
3499
3500738
350100:36:16,086 --> 00:36:17,606
3502Uh, people were threatening
3503to shoot us
3504
3505739
350600:36:17,871 --> 00:36:20,308
3507on the way up the steps,
3508um, and it wasn't worth it,
3509
3510740
351100:36:20,482 --> 00:36:24,573
3512and it was streaming live,
3513so we watched in horror.
3514
3515741
351600:36:25,139 --> 00:36:27,707
3517We cannot stand by
3518while a hate group
3519
3520742
352100:36:28,011 --> 00:36:29,926
3522stands up
3523and gives your invocation.
3524
3525743
352600:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,146
3527It's our goal to shut down
3528their agenda,
3529
3530744
353100:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,062
3532which is to bring death
3533and destruction over Phoenix.
3534
3535745
353600:36:35,236 --> 00:36:37,934
3537We take a Pledge of Allegiance.
3538It's one nation under God.
3539
3540746
354100:36:38,108 --> 00:36:39,327
3542- Man 1: Yes.
3543- Man 2: Yes.
3544
3545747
354600:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,721
3547That's not out there by mistake.
3548
3549748
355000:36:41,895 --> 00:36:44,506
3551[crowd applauding]
3552
3553749
355400:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,857
3555How many people
3556actually have a dollar bill
3557
3558750
355900:36:48,249 --> 00:36:51,078
3560or a piece of money
3561in their wallet or their pocket?
3562
3563751
356400:36:52,558 --> 00:36:56,431
3565I do believe it says,
3566"In God We Trust."
3567
3568752
356900:36:56,605 --> 00:36:57,824
3570- Man 1: Yes!
3571- Man 2: Yes!
3572
3573753
357400:36:57,998 --> 00:36:59,565
3575[crowd cheering]
3576
3577754
357800:36:59,739 --> 00:37:03,133
3579So are we invoking still
3580the blessings of God
3581
3582755
358300:37:03,308 --> 00:37:04,961
3584on our state and our city?
3585
3586756
358700:37:05,135 --> 00:37:09,314
3588Are we invoking the curses
3589of the deity spoken of
3590
3591757
359200:37:09,488 --> 00:37:11,011
3593that they serve as Satan?
3594
3595758
359600:37:11,185 --> 00:37:13,492
3597There are too many curses
3598on our land,
3599
3600759
360100:37:13,666 --> 00:37:15,581
3602and we don't need another curse.
3603
3604760
360500:37:15,755 --> 00:37:18,714
3606Do we want God in this room,
3607or don't we?
3608
3609761
361000:37:18,888 --> 00:37:21,239
3611Don't mock God.
3612
3613762
361400:37:21,587 --> 00:37:23,545
3615We want to lift up
3616the name of Jesus.
3617
3618763
361900:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,319
3620There is no other name
3621in heaven on earth
3622
3623764
362400:37:25,547 --> 00:37:28,463
3625whereby a man must be saved
3626in the name of Jesus Christ.
3627
3628765
362900:37:28,637 --> 00:37:31,423
3630Let's get that straight.
3631Make no mistake about it.
3632
3633766
363400:37:31,597 --> 00:37:33,425
3635Jesus is the way.
3636
3637767
363800:37:34,164 --> 00:37:35,427
3639Please, as briefly as possible.
3640
3641768
364200:37:35,601 --> 00:37:37,081
3643We have a lot of cards
3644to get through.
3645
3646769
364700:37:37,603 --> 00:37:38,995
3648In a matter of one week,
3649
3650770
365100:37:39,169 --> 00:37:41,171
3652a decades-old tradition
3653of public prayer
3654
3655771
365600:37:41,346 --> 00:37:44,174
3657before the city of Phoenix
3658council meetings was history.
3659
3660772
366100:37:44,349 --> 00:37:47,003
3662In its place, a moment
3663of silent public prayer.
3664
3665773
366600:37:47,177 --> 00:37:49,528
3667Michelle: It's kind of shocking
3668that they would do away
3669
3670774
367100:37:49,702 --> 00:37:50,964
3672with a 60-year tradition
3673
3674775
367500:37:51,138 --> 00:37:53,227
3676for something
3677that was so harmless.
3678
3679776
368000:37:54,184 --> 00:37:56,274
3681The more hate
3682that was thrown at us,
3683
3684777
368500:37:56,448 --> 00:37:57,884
3686the more important this seemed
3687
3688778
368900:37:58,667 --> 00:38:00,365
3690because it seemed
3691like such a deeper issue
3692
3693779
369400:38:00,539 --> 00:38:02,139
3695than a two-minute speech,
3696where I'm like,
3697
3698780
369900:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,325
3700"Is this how everyone
3701that's different is treated?"
3702
3703781
370400:38:05,065 --> 00:38:07,197
3705And, you know,
3706
3707782
370800:38:07,633 --> 00:38:09,765
3709it's not something
3710that I'd faced in my own life.
3711
3712783
371300:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,028
3714For me to get this
3715from my religion,
3716
3717784
371800:38:12,202 --> 00:38:16,294
3719a minority religion, um,
3720it was pretty eye-opening,
3721
3722785
372300:38:16,555 --> 00:38:18,121
3724and that's what made me realize
3725
3726786
372700:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,602
3728how absolutely important
3729this is.
3730
3731787
373200:38:29,698 --> 00:38:30,698
3733Thank you.
3734
3735788
373600:38:42,450 --> 00:38:44,080
3737Male reporter: The bill today
3738allowing a monument
3739
3740789
374100:38:44,104 --> 00:38:45,104
3742of the Ten Commandments
3743
3744790
374500:38:45,671 --> 00:38:46,951
3746to be placed
3747at the State Capitol
3748
3749791
375000:38:47,194 --> 00:38:48,935
3751was filed
3752by Senator Jason Rapert.
3753
3754792
375500:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,305
3756Female reporter: State Senator Jason Rapert
3757says the monument
3758
3759793
376000:38:51,329 --> 00:38:53,243
3761isn't meant to be
3762a religious statement,
3763
3764794
376500:38:53,461 --> 00:38:54,854
3766rather a testament
3767to what he calls
3768
3769795
377000:38:55,028 --> 00:38:57,160
3771the historical
3772moral foundation of law.
3773
3774796
377500:38:57,335 --> 00:39:01,034
3776These references are woven
3777into the fabric of our society.
3778
3779797
378000:39:01,469 --> 00:39:02,775
3781We're one nation under God.
3782
3783798
378400:39:03,079 --> 00:39:05,386
3785Our national motto
3786is in God We Trust.
3787
3788799
378900:39:05,908 --> 00:39:08,433
3790It's time in our country
3791to remind ourselves of,
3792
3793800
379400:39:08,607 --> 00:39:10,522
3795really, those things
3796that were important to us,
3797
3798801
379900:39:10,696 --> 00:39:12,001
3800that were universal to us.
3801
3802802
380300:39:12,175 --> 00:39:13,495
3804Senator Rapert,
3805you know, again...
3806
3807803
380800:39:13,873 --> 00:39:15,918
3809I'm a taxpaying member
3810of the state of Arkansas,
3811
3812804
381300:39:16,528 --> 00:39:17,808
3814and those
3815are my Capitol grounds,
3816
3817805
381800:39:17,877 --> 00:39:19,008
3819and I don't want that there.
3820
3821806
382200:39:20,140 --> 00:39:24,623
3823I was a... I would say
3824a zesty little atheist,
3825
3826807
382700:39:24,797 --> 00:39:26,755
3828and I happened to go
3829
3830808
383100:39:26,929 --> 00:39:29,367
3832to the American Atheist rally
3833in Memphis.
3834
3835809
383600:39:30,498 --> 00:39:31,498
3837One of the presenters
3838
3839810
384000:39:32,021 --> 00:39:33,390
3841is a gentleman
3842named Lucien Greaves.
3843
3844811
384500:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,808
3846You may be aware
3847of our monument campaign
3848
3849812
385000:39:35,982 --> 00:39:36,982
3851in Oklahoma.
3852
3853813
385400:39:37,766 --> 00:39:39,483
3855Mason: He proceeds to give
3856an entire presentation
3857
3858814
385900:39:39,507 --> 00:39:41,006
3860of how they took a Ten Commandments
3861monument down
3862
3863815
386400:39:41,030 --> 00:39:42,030
3865in Oklahoma...
3866
3867816
386800:39:43,032 --> 00:39:45,470
3869and my immediate thought was,
3870"I've got to talk to this guy."

3885
3886820
388700:39:54,130 --> 00:39:56,524
3888and Satan could soon
3889find a home on the grounds
3890

3925

3928All: I pledge allegiance

3938and to the Republic
3939for which it stands,
3940

3943one nation, under God,

3949
3950833
395100:40:25,335 --> 00:40:28,600
3952Thank you.
3953And Mr. Lucien Graves is here.
3954
3955834
395600:40:29,035 --> 00:40:30,602
3957Did I pronounce that...
3958Graves, or...
3959
3960835
396100:40:30,819 --> 00:40:32,952
3962- Lucien: Greaves.
3963- Greaves, I apologize.
3964
3965836
396600:40:33,126 --> 00:40:36,825
3967I want to get that right too,
3968but they have proposed to place
3969
3970837
397100:40:36,999 --> 00:40:41,134
3972a statue of Baphomet
3973on the Capitol grounds.
3974
3975838
397600:40:41,743 --> 00:40:45,660
3977Here's a... here's a more recent
3978picture of our monument, uh,
3979
3980839
398100:40:45,834 --> 00:40:48,489
3982it stands at eight feet,
3983six inches in height,
3984
3985840
398600:40:48,794 --> 00:40:51,231
3987a width at the base
3988of the throne
3989
3990841
399100:40:51,405 --> 00:40:53,451
3992of 37 and a quarter inches.
3993
3994842
399500:40:53,842 --> 00:40:55,627
3996From the back
3997of the throne to the front
3998
3999843
400000:40:55,801 --> 00:40:57,933
4001it's 46 and a half inches,
4002
4003844
400400:40:58,281 --> 00:41:01,284
4005and the widest point
4006is at the tips of the wings,
4007
4008845
400900:41:01,459 --> 00:41:03,852
4010which is 55 and a half inches
4011in width.
4012
4013846
401400:41:09,162 --> 00:41:10,424
4015If you have any questions?
4016
4017847
401800:41:11,425 --> 00:41:15,995
4019What are you memorializing,
4020or what is your monument to?
4021
4022848
402300:41:16,778 --> 00:41:19,477
4024Well, we think
4025that our monument commemorates
4026
4027849
402800:41:19,651 --> 00:41:21,261
4029what makes America great,
4030
4031850
403200:41:21,566 --> 00:41:24,656
4033and in our case, we believe
4034that that's religious liberty.
4035
4036851
403700:41:24,830 --> 00:41:26,110
4038Woman: And you mentioned earlier
4039
4040852
404100:41:26,527 --> 00:41:28,070
4042that if the Ten Commandments
4043monument doesn't go up,
4044
4045853
404600:41:28,094 --> 00:41:30,183
4047then you would
4048withdraw this request?
4049
4050854
405100:41:30,357 --> 00:41:32,272
4052Correct.
4053What we're trying to avoid
4054
4055855
405600:41:32,446 --> 00:41:35,057
4057is the appearance
4058of one religious viewpoint,
4059
4060856
406100:41:35,362 --> 00:41:37,756
4062uh, apparently co-opting
4063the power
4064
4065857
406600:41:37,930 --> 00:41:40,149
4067and the authority
4068of a government institution.
4069
4070858
407100:41:40,585 --> 00:41:42,630
4072We feel that
4073that is unconstitutional.
4074
4075859
407600:41:42,804 --> 00:41:44,893
4077And just as
4078none of the Ten Commandments
4079
4080860
408100:41:45,067 --> 00:41:47,156
4082are cited
4083within the Constitution
4084
4085861
408600:41:47,330 --> 00:41:49,855
4087or...
4088or in any of your state laws,
4089
4090862
409100:41:50,246 --> 00:41:55,556
4092um, the principle of this kind
4093of religious equality
4094
4095863
409600:41:55,730 --> 00:41:57,123
4097and government
4098viewpoint neutrality
4099
4100864
410100:41:57,297 --> 00:41:59,560
4102is enshrined
4103in the Constitution.
4104
4105865
410600:42:01,954 --> 00:42:06,393
4107Rapert: American jurisprudence based
4108a lot of our initial laws
4109
4110866
411100:42:06,567 --> 00:42:08,743
4112on the Ten Commandments.
4113You will find this
4114
4115867
411600:42:08,917 --> 00:42:10,919
4117in the writings
4118of our Founding Fathers.
4119
4120868
412100:42:15,358 --> 00:42:16,678
4122For most historians,
4123the question,
4124
4125869
412600:42:16,882 --> 00:42:18,602
4127"Was America founded
4128as a Christian nation?"
4129
4130870
413100:42:18,753 --> 00:42:20,494
4132is fairly straightforward
4133to answer.
4134
4135871
413600:42:20,668 --> 00:42:22,714
4137The record seems quite clear
4138that we were not.
4139
4140872
414100:42:23,932 --> 00:42:26,674
4142You can look
4143at the U.S. Constitution.
4144
4145873
414600:42:27,240 --> 00:42:28,920
4147Abraham Lincoln:
4148And when George Washington
4149
4150874
415100:42:28,981 --> 00:42:30,548
4152signed that document,
4153
4154875
415500:42:31,070 --> 00:42:34,900
4156he laid the foundation
4157for our great democracy.
4158
4159876
416000:42:35,074 --> 00:42:40,166
4161- [strains of "America" playing]
4162- G... gee, that's wonderful.
4163
4164877
416500:42:40,340 --> 00:42:42,516
4166Kevin: The only mentions
4167of religion or God
4168
4169878
417000:42:42,690 --> 00:42:43,690
4171in the Constitution,
4172
4173879
417400:42:44,605 --> 00:42:47,216
4175uh, in fact, are ones that keep
4176religion away from the state.
4177
4178880
417900:42:47,477 --> 00:42:49,281
4180And if you look at the 1950s,
4181you can see a lot
4182
4183881
418400:42:49,305 --> 00:42:51,656
4185of the trappings
4186that Americans point to today
4187
4188882
418900:42:51,830 --> 00:42:53,353
4190as proof that their nation
4191
4192883
419300:42:53,527 --> 00:42:55,747
4194is a Christian nation
4195were invented.
4196
4197884
419800:42:55,921 --> 00:42:57,601
4199Billy: Many people say, well,
4200what is hell?
4201
4202885
420300:42:57,836 --> 00:43:00,236
4204- Hell is separation from God...
4205- Kevin: We see in the 1950s
4206
4207886
420800:43:00,316 --> 00:43:03,145
4209the origins of what we might
4210term an evangelical lobby.
4211
4212887
421300:43:03,319 --> 00:43:05,191
4214Billy:
4215Jesus demanded repentance.
4216
4217888
421800:43:05,365 --> 00:43:06,845
4219Kevin:
4220Billy Graham tells Americans
4221
4222889
422300:43:07,019 --> 00:43:09,717
4224that communism
4225is directed by Satan.
4226
4227890
422800:43:09,935 --> 00:43:12,111
4229Billy: We thought we could
4230get along without God.
4231
4232891
423300:43:12,285 --> 00:43:14,722
4234We thought we could get along
4235without a moral standard.
4236
4237892
423800:43:14,896 --> 00:43:17,246
4239We thought we could get along
4240without the Ten Commandments
4241
4242893
424300:43:17,420 --> 00:43:18,726
4244and the Sermon on the Mount,
4245
4246894
424700:43:19,292 --> 00:43:21,860
4248and we're beginning to wake up
4249to the fact that we can't!
4250
4251895
425200:43:22,425 --> 00:43:27,039
4253Jesus said, "Except ye repent,
4254ye shall likewise perish."
4255
4256896
425700:43:27,213 --> 00:43:28,213
4258Repent!
4259
4260897
426100:43:34,263 --> 00:43:35,543
4262Kevin:
4263The country's just learned
4264
4265898
426600:43:36,004 --> 00:43:37,644
4267that the Soviet Union
4268has the atomic bomb,
4269
4270899
427100:43:37,745 --> 00:43:39,465
4272and he warns them
4273that Armageddon is coming.
4274
4275900
427600:43:40,182 --> 00:43:42,663
4277Unless the nation rediscovers
4278its religious roots,
4279
4280901
428100:43:42,837 --> 00:43:43,882
4282it'll be destroyed.
4283
4284902
428500:43:46,058 --> 00:43:48,147
4286As America went to war
4287with the godless communists
4288
4289903
429000:43:48,321 --> 00:43:49,321
4291of the Soviet Union,
4292
4293904
429400:43:49,931 --> 00:43:51,716
4295Americans discovered
4296God themselves.
4297
4298905
429900:43:53,282 --> 00:43:55,023
4300And so
4301this is a remarkable moment
4302
4303906
430400:43:55,458 --> 00:43:57,306
4305when the nation really does
4306start to think of itself
4307
4308907
430900:43:57,330 --> 00:43:58,330
4310as Christian.
4311
4312908
431300:43:59,158 --> 00:44:00,812
4314In just the span
4315of a few years,
4316
4317909
431800:44:01,029 --> 00:44:02,949
4319"Under God" is added
4320to the Pledge of Allegiance,
4321
4322910
432300:44:03,075 --> 00:44:05,207
4324"In God We Trust"
4325is placed on paper currency
4326
4327911
432800:44:05,381 --> 00:44:06,861
4329and becomes
4330the nation's motto.
4331
4332912
433300:44:07,253 --> 00:44:09,777
4334For most Americans,
4335these ceremonies
4336
4337913
433800:44:09,951 --> 00:44:12,127
4339and slogans
4340mattered more than anything
4341
4342914
434300:44:12,301 --> 00:44:14,173
4344that was literally written
4345in the Constitution
4346
4347915
434800:44:14,347 --> 00:44:16,628
4349because they were the things
4350they said day in and day out.
4351
4352916
435300:44:16,784 --> 00:44:19,308
4354Their kids said the Pledge.
4355They saw it on their money.
4356
4357917
435800:44:19,918 --> 00:44:21,484
4359It was all over their world.
4360
4361918
436200:44:22,747 --> 00:44:24,096
4363It really becomes
4364an integral part
4365
4366919
436700:44:24,270 --> 00:44:26,011
4368of who Americans
4369think they are.
4370
4371920
437200:44:28,100 --> 00:44:30,798
4373We are what we believe.
4374
4375921
437600:44:34,759 --> 00:44:36,559
4377Male reporter: Victory today
4378for the placement
4379
4380922
438100:44:36,586 --> 00:44:38,260
4382of a Satanic monument
4383on State Capitol grounds.
4384
4385923
438600:44:38,284 --> 00:44:40,678
4387That's right. This proposal
4388is deemed sufficient
4389
4390924
439100:44:40,852 --> 00:44:42,680
4392by the Capitol Arts
4393and Grounds Commission,
4394
4395925
439600:44:42,854 --> 00:44:45,160
4397but now comes the hurdle
4398of getting the statue
4399
4400926
440100:44:45,334 --> 00:44:46,988
4402approved by the legislature.
4403
4404927
440500:44:48,555 --> 00:44:52,690
4406It will be a very cold,
4407cold day in the pits of hell
4408
4409928
441000:44:53,212 --> 00:44:56,302
4411before you'll ever see a statue
4412from the Satanic Temple
4413
4414929
441500:44:56,476 --> 00:45:00,219
4416or some other group like that
4417at the Arkansas Capitol.
4418

4961- My sweet Satan.
4962
49631043
496400:50:07,134 --> 00:50:08,414
4965Michelle:
4966With Dungeons & Dragons
4967
49681044
496900:50:08,483 --> 00:50:10,485
4970and heavy metal music,
4971
49721045
497300:50:10,964 --> 00:50:13,575
4974parents were like,
4975"Well, those are the doorways
4976
49771046
497800:50:13,749 --> 00:50:16,709
4979to the Devil," and it's like...
4980In hindsight it's like,
4981
49821047
498300:50:17,318 --> 00:50:19,233
4984"Yeah, maybe you're right."
4985[laughs]
4986
49871048
498800:50:21,192 --> 00:50:24,325
4989You'll note on our model
4990the pentagram on the right
4991
49921049
499300:50:24,499 --> 00:50:26,327
4994and the left side
4995of the upper chest.
4996
49971050
499800:50:26,501 --> 00:50:29,809
4999Lucien: Today people laugh
5000about the moral panic
5001
50021051
500300:50:29,983 --> 00:50:32,551
5004surrounding things
5005like Dungeons & Dragons
5006
50071052
500800:50:32,725 --> 00:50:36,729
5009or backwards masking in music,
5010but the fact of the matter is
5011
50121053
501300:50:36,903 --> 00:50:39,558
5014the Satanic Panic
5015ruined people's lives.
5016
50171054
501800:50:40,559 --> 00:50:42,300
5019Man:
5020
50211055
502200:50:42,865 --> 00:50:44,258
5023- Pardon me?
5024- Do you worship Satan
5025
50261056
502700:50:44,432 --> 00:50:46,086
5028- in any fashion?
5029- Not at all.
5030
50311057
503200:50:46,739 --> 00:50:49,002
5033Jesper: People who got accused
5034of satanic crimes
5035
50361058
503700:50:49,568 --> 00:50:52,527
5038were not Satanists
5039and... and innocent.
5040
50411059
504200:50:53,572 --> 00:50:55,661
5043Hollow: The thing that I think
5044is really remarkable
5045
50461060
504700:50:55,835 --> 00:50:57,445
5048and that everyone
5049has to pay attention to
5050
50511061
505200:50:57,837 --> 00:51:00,927
5053is that the Satanic
5054Panic fantasies
5055
50561062
505700:51:01,623 --> 00:51:04,496
5058were being indulged
5059by Christians.
5060
50611063
506200:51:04,670 --> 00:51:06,300
5063Reporter: A Pennsylvania
5064grand jury report
5065
50661064
506700:51:06,324 --> 00:51:07,324
5068released last month
5069
50701065
507100:51:07,934 --> 00:51:09,718
5072found more than 300
5073Catholic priests
5074
50751066
507600:51:09,892 --> 00:51:13,679
5077sexually abused more than
50781,000 children since 1947.
5079
50801067
508100:51:13,853 --> 00:51:17,552
5082The Satanic Panic, we now
5083know in an entirely verified
5084
50851068
508600:51:17,726 --> 00:51:20,729
5087and publicly known way,
5088was projection.
5089
50901069
509100:51:22,862 --> 00:51:24,037
5092They were doing it.
5093
50941070
509500:51:25,995 --> 00:51:27,084
5096I was playing D&D.
5097
50981071
509900:51:30,478 --> 00:51:34,178
5100I came to see
5101that these cults themselves
5102
51031072
510400:51:34,352 --> 00:51:35,744
5105never actually existed,
5106
51071073
510800:51:36,049 --> 00:51:38,617
5109that the real evil
5110was in the witch hunt itself.
5111
51121074
511300:51:38,791 --> 00:51:40,314
5114Man: I know
5115not if she be a witch.
5116
51171075
511800:51:40,662 --> 00:51:43,143
5119Woman: No, no, no, no!
5120You have the wrong woman.
5121
51221076
512300:51:43,317 --> 00:51:45,406
5124In just a few minutes' time
5125the trial
5126
51271077
512800:51:45,580 --> 00:51:48,453
5129of Bridget Bishop,
5130accused of witchcraft.
5131
51321078
513300:51:48,627 --> 00:51:53,022
5134- [bell ringing]
5135- [indistinctly yelling]
5136
51371079
513800:51:57,897 --> 00:52:00,682
5139Lucien: Unlike the Salem witch trials,
5140
51411080
514200:52:01,030 --> 00:52:04,512
5143where there was some degree
5144of introspection afterwards,
5145
51461081
514700:52:04,686 --> 00:52:06,606
5148there was even an apology
5149from one of the judges.
5150
51511082
515200:52:06,732 --> 00:52:08,168
5153There was a general recognition
5154
51551083
515600:52:08,690 --> 00:52:11,090
5157that something had gone wrong
5158and things needed to change...
5159
51601084
516100:52:11,519 --> 00:52:14,435
5162no such thing happened
5163with the Satanic Panic...
5164
51651085
516600:52:15,523 --> 00:52:18,657
5167and so I feel like
5168this is very much our fight,
5169
51701086
517100:52:18,918 --> 00:52:20,963
5172forwarding
5173what it actually means
5174
51751087
517600:52:21,138 --> 00:52:22,138
5177to be a Satanist,
5178
51791088
518000:52:22,922 --> 00:52:25,881
5181and not allowing witch hunters
5182to define that for us.
5183
51841089
518500:52:27,796 --> 00:52:29,058
5186Man: In the coming months...
5187
51881090
518900:52:48,774 --> 00:52:50,428
5190The Satanic Temple
5191of West Florida

519800:52:52,647 --> 00:52:55,433
5199Woman: To help bring dry socks
5200to local homeless people.
5201
52021093
520300:52:55,607 --> 00:52:56,847
5204It doesn't matter
5205about the name
5206
52071094
520800:52:56,912 --> 00:52:58,175
5209or where it's coming from,
5210
52111095
521200:52:58,653 --> 00:53:00,655
5213as long as, you know,
5214they're doing what they can.
5215
52161096
521700:53:06,270 --> 00:53:09,055
5218Ah! We have donations.
5219
52201097
522100:53:09,882 --> 00:53:11,927
5222Menstruatin' with Satan
5223is a charity campaign
5224

5228menstrual products, tampons,
5229
52301099
523100:53:16,758 --> 00:53:21,067
5232pads, to distribute these
5233to local shelters in our area.
5234
52351100
523600:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,859
5237Siri: The Seattle chapter
5238of the Satanic Temple

5242did a blood drive,
5243which was really, pretty fun.
5244

524600:53:35,864 --> 00:53:37,364
5247Male reporter: For drivers

5263

526500:53:42,958 --> 00:53:45,874
5266Female reporter: They even use
5267pitchforks to pick up trash.
5268
52691107
527000:53:46,092 --> 00:53:47,833
5271Yes, pitchforks.
5272
52731108
527400:53:48,094 --> 00:53:51,793
5275This is a group who just wants
5276people to know they exist,
5277
52781109
527900:53:51,967 --> 00:53:55,144
5280they're friendly,
5281and they also hate litter.
5282
52831110
528400:53:56,494 --> 00:53:58,844
5285As of yesterday, uh,
5286Seabright State Beach
5287
52881111
528900:53:59,018 --> 00:54:00,324

529300:54:00,802 --> 00:54:03,979
5294by the Santa Cruz chapter
5295of the Satanic Temple.
5296
52971113
529800:54:04,153 --> 00:54:05,566
5299Male reporter: The Satanic Temple will serve
5300
53011114
530200:54:05,590 --> 00:54:06,808
5303as the caretaker for it,
5304
53051115
530600:54:07,026 --> 00:54:08,375
5307constantly helping
5308keep it clean
5309
53101116
531100:54:08,549 --> 00:54:09,549
5312for the next year.
5313
53141117
531500:54:16,949 --> 00:54:18,951
5316Shiva: In order to help manage
5317the expansive growth
5318
53191118
532000:54:19,125 --> 00:54:20,779
5321that we were experiencing,
5322
53231119
532400:54:20,953 --> 00:54:24,086
5325we decided to start
5326the National Council.
5327
53281120
532900:54:24,261 --> 00:54:26,915
5330We've become pretty much
5331the de facto governing body
5332
53331121
533400:54:27,089 --> 00:54:28,221
5335of TST.
5336
53371122
533800:54:28,787 --> 00:54:30,310
5339We work directly
5340as a point of contact
5341
53421123
534300:54:30,484 --> 00:54:32,225
5344with the chapter heads
5345of the chapter
5346
53471124
534800:54:32,573 --> 00:54:35,141
5349to address any concerns,
5350to help them develop ideas,
5351
53521125
535300:54:35,315 --> 00:54:37,032
5354and to make sure that they're
5355on the right track
5356
53571126
535800:54:37,056 --> 00:54:39,493
5359in terms of what
5360the overall mission of TST is.
5361
53621127
536300:54:39,667 --> 00:54:41,713
5364That's our overarching thing
5365to do
5366
53671128
536800:54:41,887 --> 00:54:43,212
5369as...
5370as part of the National Council,
5371
53721129
537300:54:43,236 --> 00:54:45,020
5374is to work with the chapters.
5375
53761130
537700:54:45,194 --> 00:54:49,634
5378Yeah, Kym, do you think that
5379that's an... a reasonable pivot?
5380
53811131
538200:54:49,808 --> 00:54:52,724
5383Like... God,
5384I'm using corporate buzzwords.
5385
53861132
538700:54:52,898 --> 00:54:54,856
5388- [all laughing]
5389- Um...
5390
53911133
539200:54:55,640 --> 00:54:56,989
5393We just want
5394to be conscientious.
5395
53961134
539700:54:57,424 --> 00:54:58,967
5398We want to do as much good
5399as we possibly can.
5400
54011135
540200:54:58,991 --> 00:55:00,079
5403- Mm-hmm.
5404- Woman: Cool.
5405
54061136
540700:55:00,688 --> 00:55:02,275
5408Lucien: I initially imagined
5409that the Satanic Temple
5410
54111137
541200:55:02,299 --> 00:55:04,605
5413would have
5414no central authority,
5415
54161138
541700:55:05,214 --> 00:55:09,175
5418but at this point
5419we're very keen to make sure
5420
54211139
542200:55:09,349 --> 00:55:12,221
5423chapters don't put out
5424the wrong message.
5425
54261140
542700:55:30,979 --> 00:55:32,894
5428Jex: There is a prescribed
5429set of rules
5430
54311141
543200:55:33,068 --> 00:55:34,983
5433about how you are supposed
5434to protest.
5435
54361142
543700:55:35,375 --> 00:55:36,724
5438You go to
5439your local politician.
5440
54411143
544200:55:36,898 --> 00:55:38,900
5443You register
5444to hold a rally
5445
54461144
544700:55:39,074 --> 00:55:41,033
5448that is approved
5449by the city council.
5450
54511145
545200:55:42,382 --> 00:55:43,688
5453But I feel very strongly
5454
54551146
545600:55:43,862 --> 00:55:48,170
5457that you can't dismantle
5458corrupt systems of power
5459
54601147
546100:55:48,345 --> 00:55:49,998
5462while functioning within them.
5463
54641148
546500:55:53,698 --> 00:55:55,308
5466We don't have money.
5467We don't have power.
5468
54691149
547000:55:55,482 --> 00:55:57,310
5471We have
5472relatively little voice.
5473
54741150
547500:55:57,919 --> 00:56:00,357
5476When we go and we do a political action,
5477
54781151
547900:56:00,531 --> 00:56:02,141
5480it's more than just a protest.
5481
54821152
548300:56:02,359 --> 00:56:04,970
5484To us it is the celebration
5485of our Satanic spirit.
5486
54871153
548800:56:06,101 --> 00:56:08,190
5489It's a ritual in and of itself.
5490
54911154
549200:56:11,150 --> 00:56:13,370
5493In much of our ritual practice we are taking
5494
54951155
549600:56:13,544 --> 00:56:15,589
5497traditional symbols
5498of what we see
5499
55001156
550100:56:15,763 --> 00:56:17,983
5502as an oppressive
5503religious institution
5504
55051157
550600:56:18,157 --> 00:56:21,378
5507and destroying those symbols
5508as a form of empowerment.
5509
55101158
551100:56:23,902 --> 00:56:25,382
5512We often use nudity
5513
55141159
551500:56:25,860 --> 00:56:28,080
5516because there is a sense
5517of shame surrounding nudity
5518
55191160
552000:56:28,254 --> 00:56:30,125
5521that still exists
5522and is pervasive today.
5523
55241161
552500:56:31,649 --> 00:56:33,912
5526If I can,
5527I like to use bodies of men.
5528
55291162
553000:56:34,129 --> 00:56:35,609
5531I'm very interested
5532in staying away
5533
55341163
553500:56:36,001 --> 00:56:38,121
5536from the fetishization of
5537the beautiful female body.
5538
55391164
554000:56:39,787 --> 00:56:42,007
5541We have used wine
5542in the past,
5543
55441165
554500:56:42,181 --> 00:56:44,009
5546the idea of kind of,
5547like, choking on wine...
5548
55491166
555000:56:44,836 --> 00:56:47,621
5551because the Church uses wine
5552as a metaphor for,
5553
55541167
555500:56:47,795 --> 00:56:49,144
5556you know,
5557the blood of Christ,
5558
55591168
556000:56:49,667 --> 00:56:52,191
5561but we see it as a form
5562of oppression and control.
5563
55641169
556500:56:53,845 --> 00:56:56,021
5566[indistinct chatter]
5567
55681170
556900:56:59,024 --> 00:57:01,635
5570Man: Hail Mary, full of grace.
5571The lord is with thee.
5572
55731171
557400:57:02,027 --> 00:57:04,769
5575Blessed art thou among women.
5576
55771172
557800:57:06,814 --> 00:57:09,556
5579Holy Mary, mother of God,
5580pray for us sinners...
5581
55821173
558300:57:09,730 --> 00:57:13,604
5584[continues indistinctly]
5585
55861174
558700:57:13,865 --> 00:57:15,843
5588Jex: If there's anything
5589that anti-choice protesters
5590
55911175
559200:57:15,867 --> 00:57:17,782
5593have been good at,
5594it's the spectacle.
5595
55961176
559700:57:18,347 --> 00:57:21,525
5598We wanted to create a context
5599where we can start to understand
5600
56011177
560200:57:21,699 --> 00:57:23,503
5603that people who are protesting
5604outside of clinics
5605
56061178
560700:57:23,527 --> 00:57:25,659
5608are doing something
5609that's somewhat perverse
5610
56111179
561200:57:25,833 --> 00:57:26,833
5613and disturbing.
5614
56151180
561600:57:27,487 --> 00:57:28,986
5617So anyways, that was where
5618our starting point was,
5619
56201181
562100:57:29,010 --> 00:57:30,650
5622"How do we do this?
5623How do we match them?"
5624
56251182
562600:57:30,751 --> 00:57:33,885
5627And then it was a lot
5628of brainstorming and spitballing
5629
56301183
563100:57:34,059 --> 00:57:35,843
5632and conversation
5633until somebody made a joke
5634
56351184
563600:57:36,017 --> 00:57:37,932
5637about how they fetishize
5638the fetus,
5639
56401185
564100:57:38,106 --> 00:57:39,630
5642how it becomes this kind
5643of object
5644
56451186
564600:57:39,847 --> 00:57:43,285
5647that is revered in a way
5648that seems somewhat unnatural,
5649
56501187
565100:57:43,460 --> 00:57:44,504
5652and, um,
5653
56541188
565500:57:44,983 --> 00:57:47,899
5656you know, we landed
5657on fetish babies,
5658
56591189
566000:57:48,073 --> 00:57:49,378
5661adult babies. [chuckles]
5662
56631190
566400:57:51,076 --> 00:57:53,644
5665[indistinct chatter]
5666
56671191
566800:57:59,301 --> 00:58:04,959
5669[men wailing]
5670
56711192
567200:58:10,008 --> 00:58:11,792
5673Man:
5674
56751193
567600:58:12,010 --> 00:58:13,010
5677Jex: Uh, we're talking
5678
56791194
568000:58:13,533 --> 00:58:14,902
5681about the abstraction
5682and fetishization
5683
56841195
568500:58:14,926 --> 00:58:16,667
5686of the fetal image
5687as one that speaks
5688
56891196
569000:58:16,841 --> 00:58:19,496
5691and diminishes
5692women's power and voice.
5693
56941197
569500:58:21,323 --> 00:58:22,823
5696A lot of people
5697look at performance art
5698
56991198
570000:58:22,847 --> 00:58:24,936
5701and are a little bit confused by it,
5702
57031199
570400:58:25,414 --> 00:58:27,286
5705but that's exactly how we feel
5706
57071200
570800:58:27,460 --> 00:58:29,220
5709when we see these people
5710in front of clinics.
5711
57121201
571300:58:29,288 --> 00:58:30,507
5714All: Pray for us.
5715
57161202
571700:58:38,166 --> 00:58:41,605
5718What the heck just happened?
5719Why are they doing this?
5720
57211203
572200:58:41,779 --> 00:58:43,302
5723- I have no idea.
5724- All right.
5725
57261204
572700:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,367
5728They're worshiping...
5729they're worshiping Lucifer.
5730
57311205
573200:58:45,391 --> 00:58:46,831
5733I mean, they're...
5734they're Satanists.
5735
57361206
573700:58:49,874 --> 00:58:51,765
5738Reporter: I don't know much
5739about Satanism. What is it?
5740
57411207
574200:58:51,789 --> 00:58:53,181
5743Is it the worship of Satan?
5744
57451208
574600:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,793
5747No, we're actually non-theistic,
5748
57491209
575000:58:55,967 --> 00:58:57,838
5751and modern Satanism
5752has been recognized
5753
57541210
575500:58:58,012 --> 00:58:59,840
5756as non-theistic
5757for some time now.
5758
57591211
576000:59:00,624 --> 00:59:03,844
5761Man 1: So the word Satanist has
5762nothing to do with Satan.
5763
57641212
576500:59:04,889 --> 00:59:06,586
5766Like,
5767if somebody wants to worship
5768
57691213
577000:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,327
5771a pickle jar full of sand...
5772
57731214
577400:59:08,849 --> 00:59:10,697
5775- Man 1: What did you say?
5776- Man 2: A pickle jar...
5777
57781215
577900:59:10,721 --> 00:59:12,394
5780- A pickle jar full of sand?
5781- That's what it sounds like.
5782
57831216
578400:59:12,418 --> 00:59:14,058
5785Man 3: That's exactly what
5786it sounds like.
5787
57881217
578900:59:14,115 --> 00:59:16,770
5790If you don't believe
5791in the Devil, why call yourself
5792
57931218
579400:59:16,944 --> 00:59:18,816
5795- a Satanist?
5796- It's called Satanism
5797
57981219
579900:59:18,990 --> 00:59:20,228
5800'cause there's nothing else
5801to call it.
5802
58031220
580400:59:20,252 --> 00:59:21,558
5805This wasn't pulled out of a hat.
5806
58071221
580800:59:21,732 --> 00:59:23,951
5809This wasn't something
5810that was made up
5811
58121222
581300:59:24,125 --> 00:59:25,165
5814just to screw with people.
5815
58161223
581700:59:25,518 --> 00:59:27,215
5818This is a sociopolitical
5819counter-myth.
5820
58211224
582200:59:27,433 --> 00:59:28,758
5823The reason I'm pressing you
5824on this
5825
58261225
582700:59:28,782 --> 00:59:30,392
5828is... is because I sort of know
5829
58301226
583100:59:30,567 --> 00:59:32,264
5832a fake media story
5833when I see one,
5834
58351227
583600:59:32,438 --> 00:59:35,484
5837and the whole Satanism thing
5838seems like that.
5839
58401228
584100:59:37,835 --> 00:59:40,272
5842Who calls me
5843from out of the pit?
5844
58451229
584600:59:40,446 --> 00:59:42,666
5847Jesper: The most important thing
5848about modern Satanism,
5849
58501230
585100:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,450
5852in my opinion,
5853is that it has
5854
58551231
585600:59:44,624 --> 00:59:46,713
5857a lot of symbolic impact
5858on a global level.
5859
58601232
586100:59:46,887 --> 00:59:49,368
5862- Hail Satan!
5863- Hail Satan.
5864
58651233
586600:59:49,934 --> 00:59:51,544
5867[sobs] No!
5868
58691234
587000:59:51,718 --> 00:59:53,198
5871I mean, everybody knows Satan.
5872
58731235
587400:59:53,459 --> 00:59:56,462
5875He's as famous as Santa Claus
5876or the Grey aliens.
5877
58781236
587900:59:56,636 --> 01:00:01,423
5880[chortling]
5881I am a part of you all.
5882
58831237
588401:00:01,598 --> 01:00:03,687
5885Lucien: In the literary concept
5886John Milton wrote
5887
58881238
588901:00:03,861 --> 01:00:05,732
5890that Satan
5891was derived from heaven.
5892
58931239
589401:00:05,906 --> 01:00:09,344
5895He was ousted for not stepping in line,
5896like the rest of us,
5897
58981240
589901:00:09,518 --> 01:00:10,607
5900and now we fight back.
5901
59021241
590301:00:11,216 --> 01:00:13,479
5904[overlapping chatter]
5905
59061242
590701:00:13,827 --> 01:00:16,395
5908You're not wanted here.
5909You're not wanted here.
5910
59111243
591201:00:16,569 --> 01:00:18,092
5913Out. Get out, Devils.
5914
59151244
591601:00:18,571 --> 01:00:20,549
5917America: When I tell people that
5918I don't actually believe
5919
59201245
592101:00:20,573 --> 01:00:21,574
5922in a literal Satan,
5923
59241246
592501:00:22,053 --> 01:00:23,881
5926they're almost disappointed
5927and upset.
5928
59291247
593001:00:24,185 --> 01:00:25,185
5931They don't like the idea
5932
59331248
593401:00:25,839 --> 01:00:28,363
5935that we've taken
5936a religion's villain
5937
59381249
593901:00:28,537 --> 01:00:31,889
5940and made him sort of
5941our champion for rebellion.
5942
59431250
594401:00:33,151 --> 01:00:35,066
5945Woman:
5946What it's preaching is evil.
5947
59481251
594901:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,024
5950It's preaching
5951against Christianity.
5952
59531252
595401:00:37,198 --> 01:00:38,373
5955It's anti-Christian.
5956
59571253
595801:00:38,722 --> 01:00:39,897
5959To say that a Satanist
5960
59611254
596201:00:40,288 --> 01:00:43,683
5963is anti-Christian is, again,
5964a half-truth.
5965
59661255
596701:00:43,857 --> 01:00:45,903
5968They are anti-Christian
5969in the sense that
5970
59711256
597201:00:46,251 --> 01:00:48,340
5973they are post-Christian.
5974They are...
5975
59761257
597701:00:48,514 --> 01:00:50,647
5978They've actually left
5979Christianity.
5980
59811258
598201:00:50,908 --> 01:00:52,387
5983They are
5984taking Satan with them.
5985
59861259
598701:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,825
5988Wonka: I like the story of,
5989like, Abraham,
5990
59911260
599201:00:54,999 --> 01:00:56,914
5993who's gonna kill his son,
5994and Satan comes over.
5995
59961261
599701:00:57,088 --> 01:00:59,133
5998He's like,
5999"Hey, don't do this."
6000
60011262
600201:00:59,307 --> 01:01:00,569

6004
60051263
600601:01:00,961 --> 01:01:02,330
6007Wonka: And on one side
6008it's... Everyone goes,
6009
60101264
601101:01:02,354 --> 01:01:04,008
6012"Well, that's him
6013tempting Abraham,"
6014
60151265
601601:01:04,182 --> 01:01:06,302
6017and you go... On the other side,
6018it's him going, like,
6019
60201266
602101:01:06,358 --> 01:01:08,099
6022"Hey, asshole,
6023don't kill your kid."

6027Satan didn't sit on his ass
6028and just watch that happen.
6029
60301268
603101:01:10,710 --> 01:01:11,972
6032He got up and did something.
6033
60341269
603501:01:13,713 --> 01:01:16,455
6036Jesus walked into the desert
6037with no food, right?
6038
60391270
604001:01:16,629 --> 01:01:18,762
6041[chuckles] Satan comes to him,
6042and he tempts him
6043
60441271
604501:01:18,936 --> 01:01:21,982
6046with water and food.
6047He's starving in the desert.
6048
60491272
605001:01:22,809 --> 01:01:24,376
6051Like,
6052"Hey, dude, don't do this.
6053
60541273
605501:01:24,550 --> 01:01:26,073
6056Have some water.
6057Like, you're fine."
6058
60591274
606001:01:26,247 --> 01:01:28,162
6061Shouldn't they just
6062call themselves atheists
6063
60641275
606501:01:28,336 --> 01:01:30,556
6066if they don't believe
6067in anything supernatural,
6068
60691276
607001:01:30,730 --> 01:01:32,036
6071a supernatural being?
6072
60731277
607401:01:32,471 --> 01:01:35,779
6075Being an atheist is boring.
6076There's no community.
6077
60781278
607901:01:36,301 --> 01:01:37,981
6080There's no iconography.
6081There's no history.
6082
60831279
608401:01:38,129 --> 01:01:40,261
6085There's no code of conduct
6086or ethics.
6087
60881280
608901:01:40,435 --> 01:01:41,435
6090There's no tenets.
6091
60921281
609301:01:41,828 --> 01:01:43,917
6094It's just defining
6095what you're not.
6096
60971282
609801:01:44,439 --> 01:01:48,487
6099And with modern Satanism,
6100you can define what you are.
6101
61021283
610301:01:49,401 --> 01:01:51,446
6104I mean, we've defined Satanism
6105
61061284
610701:01:51,620 --> 01:01:55,537
6108for the Satanic Temple
6109with our Seven Tenets.
6110
61111285
611201:02:03,502 --> 01:02:05,504
6113America: One should strive
6114to act with compassion
6115
61161286
611701:02:05,678 --> 01:02:07,288
6118and empathy
6119towards all creatures
6120
61211287
612201:02:07,462 --> 01:02:08,768
6123in accordance with reason.
6124
61251288
612601:02:12,946 --> 01:02:13,946
6127The struggle for justice
6128
61291289
613001:02:14,382 --> 01:02:15,862
6131is an ongoing
6132and necessary pursuit
6133
61341290
613501:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,735
6136that should prevail
6137over laws and institutions.
6138
61391291
614001:02:21,650 --> 01:02:25,437
6141One's body is inviolable,
6142subject to one's own will alone.
6143
61441292
614501:02:28,745 --> 01:02:30,659
6146The freedom of others
6147should be respected,
6148
61491293
615001:02:30,834 --> 01:02:33,184
6151including the freedom
6152to offend.
6153
61541294
615501:02:34,141 --> 01:02:36,230
6156To willfully
6157and unjustly encroach
6158
61591295
616001:02:36,404 --> 01:02:39,930
6161upon the freedoms of another
6162is to forgo your own.
6163
61641296
616501:02:43,629 --> 01:02:44,869
6166Wonka: This is my favorite one.
6167
61681297
616901:02:45,762 --> 01:02:46,850
6170Beliefs should conform
6171
61721298
617301:02:47,502 --> 01:02:49,462
6174to our best scientific
6175understanding of the world.
6176
61771299
617801:02:50,288 --> 01:02:51,376
6179We should take care
6180
61811300
618201:02:51,811 --> 01:02:54,074
6183never to distort
6184scientific facts
6185
61861301
618701:02:54,292 --> 01:02:55,641
6188to fit our beliefs.
6189
61901302
619101:02:58,731 --> 01:03:00,951
6192People are fallible.
6193If we make a mistake,
6194
61951303
619601:03:01,125 --> 01:03:02,779
6197we should do our best
6198to rectify it
6199
62001304
620101:03:02,953 --> 01:03:05,999
6202and resolve any harm
6203that may have been caused.
6204
62051305
620601:03:10,438 --> 01:03:12,136
6207Sadie: Every tenet
6208is a guiding principle
6209
62101306
621101:03:12,310 --> 01:03:15,139
6212designed to inspire nobility
6213in action and thought.
6214
62151307
621601:03:16,401 --> 01:03:18,272
6217The spirit of compassion,
6218wisdom,
6219
62201308
622101:03:18,446 --> 01:03:20,013
6222and justice
6223should always prevail
6224
62251309
622601:03:20,187 --> 01:03:21,841
6227over the written
6228or spoken word.
6229
62301310
623101:03:22,059 --> 01:03:25,932
6232- Hail Satan!
6233- All: Hail Satan!
6234
62351311
623601:03:26,106 --> 01:03:27,194
6237I am very surprised
6238
62391312
624001:03:27,673 --> 01:03:29,544
6241to find myself
6242part of an actual religion.
6243
62441313
624501:03:29,936 --> 01:03:30,981
6246[chuckles]
6247
62481314
624901:03:31,372 --> 01:03:33,157
6250I wholeheartedly
6251
62521315
625301:03:33,331 --> 01:03:35,507
6254agree with the Seven Tenets
6255of the Satanic Temple.
6256
62571316
625801:03:35,681 --> 01:03:38,118
6259I believe they far outweigh
6260the Ten Commandments
6261
62621317
626301:03:38,292 --> 01:03:40,729
6264in terms of morality
6265
62661318
626701:03:40,904 --> 01:03:44,821
6268and, uh, best-case practices
6269to live your life,
6270
62711319
627201:03:45,604 --> 01:03:47,214
6273and why can't that be
6274a religion?
6275
62761320
627701:03:47,388 --> 01:03:49,782
6278Why can't me following
6279a code of ethics,
6280
62811321
628201:03:50,565 --> 01:03:52,524
6283having fellowship
6284with brethren,
6285
62861322
628701:03:52,959 --> 01:03:54,613
6288why... why can't that be
6289a religion?
6290
62911323
629201:04:01,185 --> 01:04:02,505
6293- Man: I'm recording.
6294- All right.
6295
62961324
629701:04:03,013 --> 01:04:06,407
6298Well, I want to thank you
6299for tuning in to get an update
6300
63011325
630201:04:06,581 --> 01:04:08,627
6303on the Arkansas
6304Ten Commandments monument.
6305
63061326
630701:04:09,846 --> 01:04:11,086
6308Female reporter:
6309In Little Rock,
6310
63111327
631201:04:11,586 --> 01:04:13,129
6313while the Ten Commandments
6314continue to be watered
6315
63161328
631701:04:13,153 --> 01:04:14,198
6318throughout the morning,
6319
63201329
632101:04:14,851 --> 01:04:16,765
6322they stand tall
6323in their new home.
6324
63251330
632601:04:17,201 --> 01:04:19,681
6327Take a look. This is exactly
6328where it sits right now.
6329
63301331
633101:04:19,856 --> 01:04:21,335
6332It was installed
6333on the back side
6334
63351332
633601:04:21,509 --> 01:04:22,989
6337of the Capitol Building
6338this morning.
6339
63401333
634101:04:23,163 --> 01:04:25,209
6342And I want to say thank you
6343to everyone
6344
63451334
634601:04:25,557 --> 01:04:27,951
6347who has contributed
6348to erect this monument.
6349
63501335
635101:04:28,995 --> 01:04:30,955
6352Lucien: This is absolutely
6353a declaration of faith,
6354
63551336
635601:04:31,128 --> 01:04:34,131
6357and this monument will
6358almost certainly come down.
6359
63601337
636101:04:36,307 --> 01:04:40,180
6362When our first Ten Commandments
6363came up, she had a short life.
6364
63651338
636601:04:43,053 --> 01:04:46,578
6367She lasted about 24 hours
6368before a fervent believer
6369
63701339
637101:04:46,752 --> 01:04:48,275
6372in the separation
6373of church and state
6374
63751340
637601:04:48,449 --> 01:04:49,929
6377took her down with his car.
6378
63791341
638001:04:50,843 --> 01:04:51,931
6381Michael: Freedom!
6382
63831342
638401:04:55,413 --> 01:04:58,720
6385I wake up, and I'm like,
6386"Oh, my God." [chuckles]
6387
63881343
638901:04:58,895 --> 01:05:02,072
6390Get this. Police say around 4:45
6391in the morning local time
6392
63931344
639401:05:02,246 --> 01:05:03,987
6395a 32-year-old man
6396
63971345
639801:05:04,335 --> 01:05:07,338
6399rammed his vehicle
6400straight into that monument.
6401
64021346
640301:05:08,513 --> 01:05:11,081
6404This man drove his vehicle
6405into the statue,
6406
64071347
640801:05:11,255 --> 01:05:14,736
6409streamed it all on Facebook.
6410He's now facing charges.
6411
64121348
641301:05:14,911 --> 01:05:16,311
6414I felt a huge pressure
6415come over me,
6416
64171349
641801:05:16,434 --> 01:05:18,479
6419and I heard inside,
6420"Destroy it tonight."
6421
64221350
642301:05:18,653 --> 01:05:20,153
6424Male reporter: He says
6425he's a Christian
6426
64271351
642801:05:20,177 --> 01:05:21,457
6429who supports
6430the Ten Commandments
6431
64321352
643301:05:22,135 --> 01:05:24,790
6434but not when they're replicated
6435on State Capitol grounds.
6436
64371353
643801:05:26,661 --> 01:05:28,335
6439Mason: This was not a good thing
6440in my eyes
6441
64421354
644301:05:28,359 --> 01:05:30,230
6444or in the Satanic Temple's eyes
6445
64461355
644701:05:30,404 --> 01:05:32,537
6448because we wanted this
6449to come down the correct way
6450
64511356
645201:05:32,711 --> 01:05:33,930
6453and not this way,
6454
64551357
645601:05:34,495 --> 01:05:36,695
6457and of course, this did nothing
6458but help Rapert's cause.
6459
64601358
646101:05:38,412 --> 01:05:41,850
6462Rapert: We have to take a stand
6463for civility in this country.
6464
64651359
646601:05:42,025 --> 01:05:45,245
6467All of this radical talk
6468from the Satanic Temple
6469
64701360
647101:05:45,593 --> 01:05:47,595
6472that would cause
6473unstable people to get out
6474
64751361
647601:05:47,769 --> 01:05:51,034
6477and carry out these acts.
6478What culpability do they have?
6479
64801362
648101:05:52,296 --> 01:05:53,514
6482Journalist:
6483
64841363
648501:06:00,782 --> 01:06:02,306
6486I don't even know
6487how to quite respond
6488
64891364
649001:06:02,480 --> 01:06:03,524
6491to that question.
6492
64931365
649401:06:04,177 --> 01:06:05,633
6495You see, you got to understand
6496the kind of people
6497
64981366
649901:06:05,657 --> 01:06:06,788
6500you're dealing with here.
6501
65021367
650301:06:07,485 --> 01:06:10,009
6504The man that claims to be
6505the head of the Satanic Temple,
6506
65071368
650801:06:10,923 --> 01:06:14,231
6509this guy runs around the country
6510using the name Lucien Greaves.
6511
65121369
651301:06:14,709 --> 01:06:17,277
6514It's not even his real name.
6515
65161370
651701:06:17,495 --> 01:06:21,412
6518Fake names, fake arguments,
6519coming into Arkansas
6520
65211371
652201:06:21,586 --> 01:06:23,370
6523to take advantage
6524of gullible people.
6525
65261372
652701:06:23,631 --> 01:06:25,242
6528The leader of the
6529Satanic Temple,
6530
65311373
653201:06:25,416 --> 01:06:27,287
6533he's using a fake name.
6534
65351374
653601:06:27,461 --> 01:06:29,507
6537His name
6538is actually Doug Mesner.
6539
65401375
654101:06:31,117 --> 01:06:32,901
6542My name
6543isn't Douglas Mesner either.
6544
65451376
654601:06:33,424 --> 01:06:35,295
6547I have
6548double-layered pseudonyms.
6549
65501377
655101:06:38,777 --> 01:06:41,171
6552Man: The Ten Commandments
6553monument will be back up.
6554
65551378
655601:06:41,998 --> 01:06:43,608
6557The law will be fulfilled.
6558
65591379
656001:06:53,487 --> 01:06:55,465
6561Jay D: There are a lot of

6596
65971387
659801:07:08,894 --> 01:07:11,201

6616
66171391
661801:07:19,470 --> 01:07:20,819
6619and that's the story.
6620
66211392
662201:07:20,993 --> 01:07:22,255
6623To promote a movie?
6624
66251393
662601:07:22,516 --> 01:07:24,196
6627It's connected to the promotion
6628of a movie.
6629

6638
66391396
664001:07:29,567 --> 01:07:31,569
6641are designed to look
6642like the stone tablets
6643
66441397
664501:07:31,743 --> 01:07:33,503
6646that are carried down

6671
66721403
667301:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,626
6674The Ten Commandments
6675need no interpretation.
6676
66771404
667801:07:45,844 --> 01:07:50,849

673401:08:27,799 --> 01:08:29,844
6735People seem to forget
6736
67371417
673801:08:30,018 --> 01:08:32,238
6739that the most basic
6740human right of all
6741
67421418
674301:08:32,412 --> 01:08:34,284
6744is the right to know Jesus.
6745

6749Melissa Joan Hart was here.
6750
67511420
675201:08:37,330 --> 01:08:40,377
6753I'm not gonna be afraid
6754to say the name Jesus.
6755
67561421
675701:08:41,117 --> 01:08:45,164
6758This was a "real movie" here
6759in Little Rock, Arkansas...

6764
67651423
676601:08:47,340 --> 01:08:49,362
6767...and so the conservative
6768Christian base in this town,
6769
67701424
677101:08:49,386 --> 01:08:51,779
6772it was all about the fact
6773that they were helping
6774
67751425
677601:08:51,953 --> 01:08:55,087
6777Senator Rapert
6778and his godly mission.
6779
67801426
678101:08:55,696 --> 01:08:56,784
6782Most of our viewers

6788
67891428
679001:08:59,004 --> 01:09:02,399
6791and they applaud
6792the Ten Commandments monument
6793
67941429
679501:09:02,573 --> 01:09:03,573
6796on the State Capitol.
6797
67981430
679901:09:04,052 --> 01:09:06,664
6800It's a...
6801it's never happened before.
6802
68031431
680401:09:06,838 --> 01:09:10,450
6805The... the church in America
6806has been silent for too long.
6807
68081432
680901:09:10,624 --> 01:09:13,236
6810The Satanic Temple,
6811as much as they posture
6812
68131433
681401:09:13,410 --> 01:09:15,847
6815and much as they holler
6816at the State of Arkansas,
6817
68181434
681901:09:16,108 --> 01:09:18,632
6820they cannot force
6821a monument of Baphomet
6822
68231435
682401:09:18,806 --> 01:09:20,156
6825on our Capitol grounds.
6826
68271436
682801:09:22,462 --> 01:09:23,855
6829Nothing would make me happier
6830
68311437
683201:09:24,029 --> 01:09:26,553
6833than to see Baphomet
6834on our Capitol grounds.
6835
68361438
683701:09:34,561 --> 01:09:35,954
6838I would love to see Baphomet.
6839
68401439
684101:09:37,651 --> 01:09:40,176
6842I would love to see
6843the Hindus, the Buddhists,
6844
68451440
684601:09:40,350 --> 01:09:42,656
6847everyone have their fair piece
6848of the lawn out there,
6849
68501441
685101:09:42,830 --> 01:09:44,180
6852their piece of the grass.
6853
68541442
685501:09:48,140 --> 01:09:51,012
6856When I look at Baphomet,
6857I see the voice of the marginalized,
6858
68591443
686001:09:51,230 --> 01:09:54,190
6861the voices of the hated,
6862the voice of the misunderstood,
6863
68641444
686501:09:55,191 --> 01:09:59,107
6866the voice of the folks
6867who don't agree mindlessly
6868
68691445
687001:09:59,282 --> 01:10:01,284
6871with what the majority
6872is telling them.
6873

6877I'm an ordained minister
6878
68791447
688001:10:03,938 --> 01:10:05,462
6881before I got
6882into politics as well,
6883
68841448
688501:10:05,636 --> 01:10:08,726
6886and I want to say on this,
6887what this nation needs
6888
68891449
689001:10:08,900 --> 01:10:11,250
6891is an overflowing
6892of the anointing of God.
6893
68941450
689501:10:11,424 --> 01:10:13,121

6897by your commandments.

6921we can all come together
6922

710301:12:28,866 --> 01:12:30,520
7104the Satanic Temple
7105has some sincerely-held
7106
71071494
710801:12:30,694 --> 01:12:32,260
7109religious beliefs of its own.
7110
71111495
711201:12:32,696 --> 01:12:35,022
7113The Satanists believe that, quote,
7114"The body is inviolable
7115
71161496
711701:12:35,046 --> 01:12:37,048
7118subject to one's
7119own will alone."
7120
71211497
712201:12:37,309 --> 01:12:39,109
7123And they say they strive
7124to make all decisions
7125
71261498
712701:12:39,180 --> 01:12:40,420
7128regarding personal health based
7129
71301499
713101:12:41,008 --> 01:12:42,725
7132on the best scientific
7133understanding of the world.
7134
71351500
713601:12:42,749 --> 01:12:44,466
7137It's brilliant, right?
7138Because one of the things
7139
71401501
714101:12:44,490 --> 01:12:46,840
7142the Supreme Court said
7143in its Hobby Lobby decision
7144
71451502
714601:12:47,014 --> 01:12:49,887
7147is we can't question
7148people's religious beliefs.
7149
71501503
715101:12:50,061 --> 01:12:52,106
7152If they say it violates
7153their religious beliefs,
7154
71551504
715601:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,196
7157so be it. She should be exempted
7158from that law.
7159
71601505
716101:12:55,588 --> 01:12:57,468
7162Judge: We're ready to proceed
7163on the first case.
7164
71651506
716601:12:58,983 --> 01:13:00,352
7167- James: Good morning.
7168- Judge: Morning.
7169
71701507
717101:13:00,376 --> 01:13:01,616
7172James: May it please the court,
7173
71741508
717501:13:02,290 --> 01:13:05,990
7176it's appalling that the state
7177of Missouri legislates into law
7178
71791509
718001:13:06,512 --> 01:13:09,428
7181that a human life
7182comes into existence
7183
71841510
718501:13:09,907 --> 01:13:11,909
7186at conception. And if you...
7187
71881511
718901:13:12,083 --> 01:13:14,564
7190What creates the presumption
7191that the statute
7192
71931512
719401:13:14,738 --> 01:13:16,653
7195that says
7196life begins at conception
7197
71981513
719901:13:17,393 --> 01:13:19,743
7200is solely based
7201on a religious tenet?
7202
72031514
720401:13:20,221 --> 01:13:23,268
7205There is no scientific basis
7206for it.
7207
72081515
720901:13:23,877 --> 01:13:26,358
7210It's just a proposition.
7211
72121516
721301:13:26,750 --> 01:13:29,492
7214It's like saying,
7215"Jesus rose from the dead."
7216
72171517
721801:13:29,709 --> 01:13:33,234
7219You can believe that,
7220but you'd be appalled
7221
72221518
722301:13:33,409 --> 01:13:37,500
7224if the Missouri legislature
7225legislated that into law.
7226
72271519
722801:13:43,157 --> 01:13:45,769
7229The thing is I know we...
7230if we talk with our lawyer,
7231
72321520
723301:13:45,943 --> 01:13:47,423
7234he's gonna say, like,
7235"No,
7236
72371521
723801:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,338
7239people just don't understand
7240what this really means."
7241
72421522
724301:13:50,513 --> 01:13:51,664
7244[indistinct chatter
7245over the phone]
7246
72471523
724801:13:51,688 --> 01:13:53,864
7249Lucien: Lawsuits move so slow.
7250
72511524
725201:13:54,908 --> 01:13:56,780
7253I mean, nothing's been resolved,
7254you know?
7255
72561525
725701:13:56,954 --> 01:13:57,998
7258Nothing's happened,
7259
72601526
726101:13:58,912 --> 01:14:02,263
7262and it's... it's... And yet
7263it's a pi... It's a massive...
7264
72651527
726601:14:02,612 --> 01:14:04,004
7267it's a massive legal bill...
7268
72691528
727001:14:05,092 --> 01:14:07,921
7271and there's really nothing
7272so far to show for it.
7273
72741529
727501:14:12,099 --> 01:14:16,408
7276We're paying for it through...
7277just the regular donations
7278
72791530
728001:14:16,582 --> 01:14:20,151
7281we receive and proceeds
7282from merchandise sales.
7283
72841531
728501:14:21,152 --> 01:14:22,849
7286It broke the
7287100,000 dollar mark
7288
72891532
729001:14:23,023 --> 01:14:24,155
7291some time ago,
7292
72931533
729401:14:24,677 --> 01:14:26,940
7295and I'm not sure how far
7296it's exceeded that by now.
7297
72981534
729901:14:27,114 --> 01:14:30,117
7300I mean... it just hurts
7301my feelings to look at it.
7302
73031535
730401:14:42,869 --> 01:14:44,958
7305There's no doubt that
7306this is my life's work...
7307
73081536
730901:14:47,308 --> 01:14:49,572
7310and I don't want
7311the Satanic Temple
7312
73131537
731401:14:49,746 --> 01:14:51,225
7315to be known for me,
7316
73171538
731801:14:51,661 --> 01:14:54,707
7319but the success or failure
7320of the Satanic Temple
7321
73221539
732301:14:54,881 --> 01:14:57,318
7324has always been,
7325uh, you know,
7326
73271540
732801:14:57,493 --> 01:14:59,625
7329either my vindication
7330or failure.
7331
73321541
733301:15:15,859 --> 01:15:17,861
7334William: As the
7335Satanic Temple developed,
7336
73371542
733801:15:18,035 --> 01:15:19,906
7339we would hear less and less
7340from Jex.
7341
73421543
734301:15:23,519 --> 01:15:26,870
7344And Detroit became
7345a bit of a mystery even to us,
7346
73471544
734801:15:27,044 --> 01:15:30,177
7349um, in terms of what was
7350going on with the chapter...
7351
73521545
735301:15:32,005 --> 01:15:33,137
7354which was under her control.
7355
73561546
735701:15:34,486 --> 01:15:37,750
7358After centuries of biblical
7359patriarchal dominance,
7360
73611547
736201:15:37,924 --> 01:15:40,361
7363the annihilation of native
7364and diverse cultures,
7365
73661548
736701:15:40,536 --> 01:15:42,755
7368the propagation of racism
7369and homophobia,
7370
73711549
737201:15:42,929 --> 01:15:45,366
7373we owe our oppressors!
7374
73751550
737601:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,284
7377We owe them hostility,
7378inextinguishable justice,
7379
73801551
738101:15:50,458 --> 01:15:53,244
7382and uncompromising destruction.
7383
73841552
738501:15:54,724 --> 01:15:56,116
7386We outnumber them.
7387
73881553
738901:15:56,682 --> 01:15:59,163
7390We possess the fortitude
7391to bring down powerful men
7392
73931554
739401:15:59,337 --> 01:16:01,208
7395and dismantle racist systems.
7396
73971555
739801:16:01,426 --> 01:16:03,950
7399Their existence
7400is only made possible
7401
74021556
740301:16:04,124 --> 01:16:05,735
7404by our own inaction.
7405
74061557
740701:16:06,866 --> 01:16:10,391
7408They have given us just enough
7409to have something to lose.
7410
74111558
741201:16:10,609 --> 01:16:13,743
7413They have built a system
7414that grinds us down,
7415
74161559
741701:16:13,917 --> 01:16:16,006
7418and they tell us
7419to swallow our grief
7420
74211560
742201:16:16,180 --> 01:16:18,748
7423and our rage in the name
7424of respectability,
7425
74261561
742701:16:18,922 --> 01:16:21,794
7428that obedience is patriotism.
7429
74301562
743101:16:23,579 --> 01:16:26,103
7432There is no model
7433for moving forward.
7434
74351563
743601:16:26,277 --> 01:16:27,713
7437We are the model.
7438
74391564
744001:16:28,235 --> 01:16:31,978
7441Who taught you how to protest?
7442Who taught you how to get mad?
7443
74441565
744501:16:32,413 --> 01:16:34,328
7446Who taught you how to speak up?
7447
74481566
744901:16:34,590 --> 01:16:39,856
7450'Cause we are going to disrupt,
7451distort, destroy,
7452
74531567
745401:16:40,160 --> 01:16:44,208
7455and reclaim, resist,
7456and rebuild!
7457
74581568
745901:16:54,087 --> 01:16:56,524
7460- Hail Satan!
7461- All: Hail Satan!
7462
74631569
746401:16:56,699 --> 01:16:59,179
7465- Hail Satan!
7466- All: Hail Satan!
7467
74681570
746901:16:59,353 --> 01:17:02,095
7470- Hail Satan!
7471- All: Hail Satan!
7472
74731571
747401:17:02,269 --> 01:17:09,102
7475- Hail Satan!
7476- [all shrieking]
7477
74781572
747901:17:21,549 --> 01:17:24,901
7480[sighs] How do I put this?
7481Hmm. Let me think.
7482
74831573
748401:17:25,423 --> 01:17:29,122
7485She called for, um,
7486Donald Trump to be killed.
7487
74881574
748901:17:29,645 --> 01:17:31,081
7490Um, that's obviously problematic
7491
74921575
749301:17:31,385 --> 01:17:33,425
7494because we are a completely
7495nonviolent organization,
7496
74971576
749801:17:33,518 --> 01:17:36,216
7499and that's completely
7500against our ethics.
7501
75021577
750301:17:38,828 --> 01:17:41,308
7504It was glaringly obvious
7505that Jex,
7506
75071578
750801:17:41,831 --> 01:17:43,659
7509being the wild card
7510that she is,
7511
75121579
751301:17:43,833 --> 01:17:46,270
7514wasn't really gonna fit
7515in the organization anymore,
7516
75171580
751801:17:46,923 --> 01:17:49,752
7519so Jex Blackmore is no longer
7520part of the Temple
7521
75221581
752301:17:49,926 --> 01:17:50,926
7524at this point.
7525
75261582
752701:17:54,626 --> 01:17:58,456
7528Lucien: Um, I called her,
7529ultimately, but that was, uh,
7530
75311583
753201:17:59,109 --> 01:18:01,720
7533that was a National Council
7534discussion. Uh...
7535
75361584
753701:18:03,287 --> 01:18:05,028
7538she said what she said,
7539
75401585
754101:18:05,245 --> 01:18:08,727
7542and we just couldn't have
7543a double standard for anybody.
7544
75451586
754601:18:11,425 --> 01:18:13,340
7547I don't want to go off
7548on camera right here.
7549
75501587
755101:18:13,514 --> 01:18:15,492
7552- Woman: I understand.
7553- About the injustice of that
7554
75551588
755601:18:15,516 --> 01:18:18,476
7557in many different ways,
7558but yeah, it's been a lot.
7559
75601589
756101:18:20,521 --> 01:18:23,481
7562I have to say
7563it does feel a little bit
7564
75651590
756601:18:24,264 --> 01:18:26,919
7567satisfying to be...
7568
75691591
757001:18:28,486 --> 01:18:30,009
7571you know,
7572fired from the Satanic Temple
7573
75741592
757501:18:30,183 --> 01:18:31,358
7576for being too extreme.
7577
75781593
757901:18:36,755 --> 01:18:38,714
7580There's a great fear
7581that we are going to do
7582
75831594
758401:18:38,888 --> 01:18:40,280
7585something that is so offensive
7586
75871595
758801:18:40,541 --> 01:18:42,718
7589that it's going to somehow
7590discredit our work.
7591
75921596
759301:18:42,892 --> 01:18:44,763
7594I mean,
7595we're a Satanic organization.
7596
75971597
759801:18:45,372 --> 01:18:49,942
7599There's, like, this...
7600this fear of our legal system
7601
76021598
760301:18:50,116 --> 01:18:52,989
7604that is part of what
7605I'm fighting against,
7606
76071599
760801:18:53,380 --> 01:18:55,100
7609and part of what I think
7610is important for us
7611
76121600
761301:18:55,165 --> 01:18:56,514
7614to be liberated from.
7615
76161601
761701:18:58,777 --> 01:18:59,822
7618Lucien: I love Jex.
7619
76201602
762101:19:00,431 --> 01:19:01,756
7622I worked with her
7623from the beginning,
7624
76251603
762601:19:01,780 --> 01:19:03,608
7627and it's really quite sad,
7628
76291604
763001:19:03,782 --> 01:19:08,526
7631but... you know, as we cohere
7632this organizational structure,

8166
81671720
816801:26:44,764 --> 01:26:47,289
8169a nine-foot-tall statue
8170of Satan.
8171
81721721
817301:26:48,681 --> 01:26:52,294
8174Well, we came here today
8175in order to negate that.
8176
81771722
817801:26:53,817 --> 01:26:54,817
8179Boy: Honk the horn.
8180
81811723
818201:26:55,253 --> 01:26:57,777
8183- [car horn honking]
8184- God bless you.
8185
81861724
818701:26:57,951 --> 01:26:59,649
8188[indistinct chatter]
8189
81901725
819101:27:03,174 --> 01:27:04,567
8192Woman: Their platform
8193is separation
8194
81951726
819601:27:04,741 --> 01:27:05,872
8197of church and state,
8198
81991727
820001:27:06,308 --> 01:27:09,311
8201which makes it sound
8202really nice, so yeah.
8203
82041728
820501:27:09,485 --> 01:27:12,270
8206They just want to irritate,
8207if you want to know the truth.
8208
82091729
821001:27:18,668 --> 01:27:19,843
8211We're a Christian country,
8212
82131730
821401:27:20,452 --> 01:27:22,628
8215and so they don't have
8216the right to alter that.
8217
82181731
821901:27:23,107 --> 01:27:24,987
8220They don't have a right
8221to put their monstrosity
8222
82231732
822401:27:25,065 --> 01:27:26,066
8225on the State Capitol.
8226
82271733
822801:27:26,458 --> 01:27:28,025
8229Man: But do we
8230really wanna believe
8231
82321734
823301:27:28,286 --> 01:27:30,462
8234there's no consequence
8235but God?
8236
82371735
823801:27:30,810 --> 01:27:33,683
8239There is this individual
8240that has,
8241
82421736
824301:27:33,857 --> 01:27:35,772
8244like, a previous conviction
8245for planning,
8246
82471737
824801:27:36,294 --> 01:27:38,035
8249- you know, mass shootings...
8250- Hmm.
8251
82521738
825301:27:38,514 --> 01:27:40,864
8254Hollow:
8255...and our anonymous sources
8256
82571739
825801:27:41,038 --> 01:27:42,624
8259have said that he will
8260definitely be there,
8261
82621740
826301:27:42,648 --> 01:27:43,954
8264and that is a concern.
8265
82661741
826701:27:44,520 --> 01:27:45,920
8268And what happens
8269if you see somebody
8270
82711742
827201:27:46,043 --> 01:27:47,740
8273that I don't see
8274pulling some shit?
8275
82761743
827701:27:47,914 --> 01:27:49,568
8278Hollow: So we've got
8279the outer team,
8280
82811744
828201:27:49,742 --> 01:27:51,962
8283which I think at this point
8284is gonna be six people,
8285
82861745
828701:27:52,267 --> 01:27:54,921
8288so they should see
8289something first.
8290
82911746
829201:27:55,095 --> 01:27:58,011
8293Somebody's gonna have to really
8294get through two layers
8295
82961747
829701:27:58,185 --> 01:28:01,188
8298of people to get to you.
8299That makes it very implausible.
8300
83011748
830201:28:01,972 --> 01:28:04,148
8303Well, I don't think
8304anybody else around here
8305
83061749
830701:28:04,322 --> 01:28:05,541
8308is really considered a target,
8309
83101750
831101:28:05,976 --> 01:28:07,978
8312so I think that's really all
8313we're worried about.
8314
83151751
831601:28:24,690 --> 01:28:27,214
8317Lucien: This is the infancy
8318of the Satanic Temple.
8319
83201752
832101:28:28,128 --> 01:28:31,175
8322In our own humble little way,
8323we are changing the world.
8324
83251753
832601:28:33,308 --> 01:28:35,266
8327More and more as time goes on,
8328
83291754
833001:28:36,006 --> 01:28:39,749
8331people are seeing that we are
8332a genuine movement.
8333
83341755
833501:28:41,577 --> 01:28:43,883
8336This would be very difficult
8337to maintain
8338
83391756
834001:28:44,319 --> 01:28:47,800
8341if somewhere
8342in any of our minds,
8343
83441757
834501:28:47,974 --> 01:28:50,020
8346those of us who are actively
8347working on this,
8348
83491758
835001:28:50,194 --> 01:28:51,500
8351we didn't truly believe
8352
83531759
835401:28:51,848 --> 01:28:53,850
8355in every element
8356of what we're doing...
8357
83581760
835901:28:55,112 --> 01:28:57,941
8360and to be doing this
8361as anything other
8362
83631761
836401:28:58,637 --> 01:29:01,945
8365than an authentic expression
8366of who we are...
8367
83681762
836901:29:02,859 --> 01:29:07,994
8370I just can't see doing that
8371without being psychotic,
8372
83731763
837401:29:08,168 --> 01:29:12,347
8375which I guess...
8376is... is a theory. [chuckles]
8377
83781764
837901:29:16,133 --> 01:29:19,354
8380It is out of not only Satanism
8381but patriotism
8382
83831765
838401:29:20,180 --> 01:29:22,487
8385that I am motivated
8386to come to protest events,
8387
83881766
838901:29:23,183 --> 01:29:25,838
8390to have the pilgrimage,
8391to visibly be a part
8392
83931767
839401:29:26,012 --> 01:29:27,884
8395of a declaration
8396of those beliefs.
8397
83981768
839901:29:29,799 --> 01:29:32,410
8400That's an ancient
8401human religious tradition.
8402
84031769
840401:29:32,584 --> 01:29:33,803
8405I mean,
8406that's the pilgrimage.
8407
84081770
840901:29:35,544 --> 01:29:37,304
8410Stu: I think it's a sense
8411of duty to do this.
8412
84131771
841401:29:37,415 --> 01:29:39,809
8415I don't even feel like
8416it's optional at this point.
8417
84181772
841901:29:40,897 --> 01:29:43,334
8420Michelle: You know,
8421you see Christian theocracy
8422
84231773
842401:29:43,508 --> 01:29:47,164
8425just, you know, creeping itself
8426into our government, you know,
8427
84281774
842901:29:47,338 --> 01:29:51,037
8430and they're not gonna stop.
8431They're just gonna continue,
8432
84331775
843401:29:51,429 --> 01:29:54,171
8435and it is our duty
8436as the adversary
8437
84381776
843901:29:54,389 --> 01:29:55,651
8440to stand up to this.
8441
84421777
844301:29:58,828 --> 01:30:00,438
8444I could just go along
8445and just be a quiet
8446
84471778
844801:30:00,612 --> 01:30:03,267

8450like a lot of people do.
8451
84521779
845301:30:03,615 --> 01:30:05,158
8454I... I don't want to say
8455the phrase, like,
8456
84571780
845801:30:05,182 --> 01:30:06,836
8459"this has given

8461
84621781
846301:30:07,010 --> 01:30:09,752
8464but I would say
8465that this makes life fun.
