Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Baphomet and Baal were actually gods alongside Yahweh
Yes, but it isn’t a pagan depiction because it’s being put up as an act of atheistic Satanism.
Also pre modern baphomet worship looks to be something that may have happened in Europe in the Middle Ages and seems to completely lack evidences (according to Wikipedia) of being more ancient.
There is absolutely a thing where Satanists will claim pagan deities though. I’m both annoyed and flummoxed by the infernal names in Laveyan Satanism as an Ishtar worshipper. First of all she’s the queen of heaven, not infernal and no lust isn’t evil you dipshits, and secondly Erishkagal isn’t on the list despite her having every reason to.
I can't imagine historical accuracy is high on the list of priorities when creating an ironic religion.
Yeah that’s kinda my point though for my first two paragraphs. Neopaganism and TST are very different religions. Even when they share depictions of similar things, but in this case it’s not. Baphomet has basically always been a symbol of opposition to Christianity. First as used by christians then claimed by those opposing them.
For my third paragraph, yeah Lavey didn’t know much about much and didn’t seem to care to learn. He also clearly didn’t care about misrepresenting religions that are still in constant practice from before the Roman Empire to now.
Time to worship Anu and the Anunnaki gang
