Fun fact, the origin story for Satan that so many churches point to just isn’t in the Bible.
Most Christian ideas about hell are from Dante and Milton laundered through loony toons. And in Milton’s version, Satan is the protagonist.
Yeah… it is astounding how mixed messages get when people are holding the bloody source material in their hands.
I had to explain to someone here on Lemmy that Satan in Job is a rival god, rather than the Satan Christians think, of since it came from before Judaism was monotheistic. The word literally just means ‘adversary.’ Job is about two gods having a wager. But Christians (and the rest of the western world by extension) are ignorant of the fact that the largest role anyone called Satan has in the Bible has nothing to do with Christian mythology.
And then they decide to conflate the serpent in the Garden of Eden with Satan because reasons.

A church has no right to tell me how to treat others when it’s named after a sex position.
As a member of the “church of the subgenius”, I’m curious about that position.
Good guy Lucifer. Punishes evildoers for all eternity, but somehow he’s the bad guy.
Christianity is a cult and a scam.
Sometimes even good people fall for it. The good ones have enough reason to be loud and shut the bad ones up. But that not going to happen. It’s a toxic support system that they can’t go against or be kicked out.
Christianity needs to disbanded just like every cult denying reality and hurting others.
Of course it’s a Baptist church with a sign like that. Guarantee you it’s in a sundown town, too.
If you worship a cosmic tyrant don’t be upset if some people balk at the idea.
I don’t understand if that sign is pro or against Satan
