MANSFIELD — The Satanic Temple is holding Texas’ religious freedom protections hostage, claiming the Lone Star State’s new abortion ban is restricting its ‘religious freedom.’ As liberal media outlets are pinning their hopes on the Satanists’ efforts, one Ohio pastor says the partnership demonstrates how hellbent liberals are to murder babies.

“To practice ‘abortion rituals’ as a religious rite of worship gives us insight of the degree of their (Satanists) depravity,” says Pastor Clint Zeigler. “And when abortionists place their hope on this Satanic cult, the curtain really has been pulled: the Liberal Left has enlisted themselves into the army of the Devil.”
Headquartered in Salem, Massachusetts and founded in 2012, The Satanic Temple (TST) describes abortion as a “spiritual experience,” and argues Texas’ new six-week abortion ban imposes an “undue burden” on its Texas members who conduct the ritual. TST is seeking an exemption from the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act. If the state declines to provide the exemption, TST says it will seek judicial relief from the law.
Liberal media outlets find humor Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a champion for religious liberty, may have paved a way for Satanists to preserve abortion.
Left-wing media outlets are gleeful in their support of The Satanic Temple’s fight to keep abortion legal. “Satanic Temple Floats Devilishly Clever Strategy To Dodge Texas Abortion Law,” stated a headline from Huffington Post. “Why Satanists may be the last hope to take down Texas’s abortion bill,” echoed Fortune.
“To practice ‘abortion rituals’ as a religious rite of worship gives us insight of the degree of their (Satanists) depravity. And when abortionists place their hope on this Satanic cult, the curtain really has been pulled: The Liberal Left has enlisted themselves into the army of the Devil.”
Pastor Clint Zeigler
Pastor Zeigler believes Satanism should not be defined as a religion and that the devil can be found in the details.
“The truth is being twisted. In our society today, evil has become good, good has become evil, and darkness is called light. It makes sense when the Liberal Left and Satanists are working together. As the Scriptures testify of those who have been taken captive by the devil to do his will, they think they are free when actually they are bound.
“Have they forgotten the right to live belongs to the unborn?” asks Zeigler. “Have they not read the many testimonies of women who deeply regret their decision to abort their baby and now suffer from depression and guilt?”
The Mansfield Pastor is hopeful abortion supporters who are realizing they are actually playing the devil’s advocate will come to their senses.
“Perhaps now after locking arms with followers of the evil one, their eyes will be opened to see the truth. Especially those professing the Name of Jesus Christ, the One who truly is the way, the truth, and the life. Just maybe this is what some need, to share a foxhole with enemies of God, and to realize how much they have been deceived.
“Jesus said that you would know them by their fruit. To give support to the unjust slaying of the innocent gives ample evidence of a darkened, depraved heart.”
The Bottom Line:
The Bible says in the Book of Isaiah Chapter Five, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put butter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
