I am thrilled to be part of SteemFest and am looking forward to meeting everyone! If you are curious about my work I encourage you to visit my website: https://jexblackmore.com where you can find links to interviews and descriptions of many public actions you may have read about on the news. You can also visit our website where many questions are answered about who we are and what we believe: https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/faq

@cryptoctopus I appreciate your support, but want to clarify, it's not a difference between who we say we are and do, and what we actually do. The public has decided who we are for us, basing this characterization on popular culture, horror films, Satanic panic-style propaganda and the church. We make our intentions and beliefs very clear in interviews, lectures, essays and on our website. We are who we are.

@liondani I understand and respect your skepticism and I hope that my presentation will prove that my experience and ideas are worthy material for SteemFest. I do take issue with your concern that the decision to allow me to participate was is a bad move because it might offend the Christain community. Should we censor the voices of outsiders because we fear repercussions from the majority? Should we judge others because of what popular culture says about them - or is it our responsibility to be informed before passing judgment? I urge you to consider these questions because they are fundamental to your concerns about my inclusion.

I look forward to sharing more about what I plan to talk about soon. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have or point you to a place where you can find the answer!
