From Satanism to Anarchy

John Vandivier

<a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/satanic-temple-exemption-anti-abortion-laws">An article out recently from Talking Points Memo discussed the fact that Satanists are citing the recent Hobby Lobby case for an exemption from anti-abortion laws. This highlights at least two important points.

  1. Religious freedom is not clearly a good thing.
  2. Aleister Crowley said the one commandment for Satanism is, \"Do what thou wilt.\" Satanists could leverage religious freedom, if upheld, into nullification of every law. This would create a de facto anarchy.
