(Stillness in the Storm Editor) Can you serve two masters? It depends on what they want you to do. In Annapolis Maryland, the US Naval Academy is providing facilities for students to study and discuss Satanism, a “Satanic Temple space.” Is it possible for one to subscribe to a religion with a moral philosophy that contradicts a duty to protect and serve Americans?
While everyone has the right to think and explore ideas and cosmic belief systems, which is what freedom of religion is all about, it seems questionable in this case.
As long as study group participants don’t engage in illegal activities, then there shouldn’t be an immediate problem. Not to say I’m OK with this.
This raises the question, how do we deal with people taking an interest in what many would consider bad ideas?
I think what’s needed is a healthy cultural mechanism for discussing how to contend with potentially dangerous ideas, from a moral and ethical perspective. This way the individual has an internal shield against morally corrupt ideologies, which the Deep State uses extensively to entrap the masses into their agenda.

Those who’ve researched the power elites know they seem to be satanic in nature. They allegedly use and allow human trafficking syndicates to operate.

So I’d say there’s a lot of good reasons to be concerned.

The U.S. Naval Academy is providing a room on campus for midshipmen interested in The Satanic Temple to discuss the group.
Cmdr. Alana Garas, an academy spokeswoman, said Thursday the group has been provided a space to meet after a request was made by midshipmen.
An internal email was sent Oct. 8 to all midshipmen to announce the start of “satanic services.”
However, Garas says the email was sent without approval of the Naval Academy’s Command Chaplain, as required.
Garas says the academy’s Command Religious Program facilitates the exercise of diverse beliefs.
The Satanic Temple calls itself a nontheistic organization that aims to “encourage benevolence and empathy among all people.”
The organization also says it rejects tyrannical authority and advocates for common sense and justice.

The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the country, is now offering its Midshipmen students, who are interested, a “study group” based on the teachings of The Satanic Temple.
“A group of Midshipmen with beliefs aligned with those practiced by The Satanic Temple … requested a space where they could assemble to discuss and share their common beliefs,” said academy spokeswoman Cmdr. Alana Garas in a statement, as reported by the Military Times.
The Academy has provided a room for that purpose, reported the Associated Press on Oct. 31.
The Satanic Temple is an IRS-recognized, tax-exempt church. It engages in religious and political activities, most of which reflect a left-wing ideology and individual centered self-worship.
As the Temple’s “tenets” state, “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.”
The Satanic Temple is based in Salem, Mass., and has chapters in 17 states and in Canada. The Temple was co-founded by Lucien Greaves and he is the spokesperson for the church.
In 2015, The Satanic Temple unveiled a large statue of Baphomet, a goat-headed, demonic looking figure with hooves for feet, whose image has been used in occult practices. Two children, a boy and a girl, stand on either side of the creature’s legs.
In June 2016, The Satanic Temple held a Pentagram ritual in Los Angeles County to help support a political candidate. The Temple offers an after-school program entitled “After-School Satan.”
In January 2017, The Temple held a Satanic Mass apparently to demonstrate its opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. The Mass reportedly included an invocation ritual, a destruction ritual, and a bloodletting ritual.
In reference to the group’s political activities, Cmdr. Garas further said, “Midshipmen have the right to assemble to discuss their beliefs as they choose, but, to be clear, in accordance with Department of Defense policy, military members will not engage in partisan political activities, and will avoid the inference that their activities may appear to imply DoD approval or endorsement of a political cause.”

“The USNA Command Religious Program provides for the exercise of diverse beliefs,” said Garas, as reported by Stars and Stripes. “Arrangements were being made to provide the Midshipmen with a designated place to assemble as chaplains facilitate for the beliefs of all service members, a responsibility outlined by Navy instructions.”
The U.S. Naval Academy was established in 1845. It educates officers for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. Some of the Academy’s famous alumni include President Jimmy Carter, Sen. John McCain, Admiral Chester Nimitz, quarterback Roger Staubach, astronaut Alan Shephard, NBA star David Robinson, astronaut Wendy Lawrence, and Vice Admiral James Stockdale.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
