The Satanic Temple has taken the state of Texas to court concerning its new abortion law.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Satanic Temple said they have a strategy for women to access the abortion drug. Take it, as part of religious expression.
The founder describes them as a nontheistic religious group. "By nontheistic we mean we don't worship a literal deity. We view Satan as a metaphorical construct as the ultimate rebel against tyranny," said Lucien Greaves, founder.

What a strange argument. "We want people to have a religious exemption based upon a non-belief in any literal diety and an acceptance of Satan as a nothing more than a metaphorical construct." Uhm...really?

Notice the reference to abortion being a "ritual".

"By regulating the context in which the ritual happens you're basically regulating the ritual itself. If I say nobody can buy wine, well that is affecting the Catholics’ ability to do mass," said Kezhaya.

The literary critic in the movie 'Stranger than Fiction ' asked the main character to determine if his life is a comedy or a tragedy. So now we have a satanic cult asking the court to decide if they have the same right to chemically murder a baby as a native American has to use peyote in a religious ritual .....and they claim that murdering babies is a religious practice . Do they draw a pentagram around the table before administering the pill ? Does the abortionist wear a goat head as the pill is ritually administered and the cult chants mumbo jumbo ? Tragedy or Comedy ?
