Celebration of Independent Voices: Penny Lane + Lucien Greaves

Tune in for a conversation between Penny Lane (director, Hail Satan?) and Lucien Greaves (subject, Hail Satan?) as they talk about how the documentary came to be and the importance of collaboration along the way.
What kind of religious expression should be permitted in a secular nation? Holy hell, something is brewing! Just a few years old, the Satanic Temple has risen from the depths to become one of the most controversial religious movements in American history. Hail Satan? bears witness as the temple evolves from a small-scale media stunt to an internationally recognized religion with hundreds of thousands of adherents. Naked bodies writhe with snakes on altars as protesters storm the gates of state capitols across the country. Through their dogged campaign to place a nine-foot, bronze Satanic monument smack dab next to the statue of the Ten Commandments on the Arkansas State Capitol lawn, the leaders of the temple force us to consider the true meaning of the separation of church and state.
Brandishing their sharply honed cinematic swords, director Penny Lane and producer Gabriel Sedgwick strike a cunning balance between cheeky, brazen entertainment and defiantly serious storytelling in this wickedly topical documentary that bares its horns to speak truth to power.

I love the comments here threatening people they never met with eternal hell. Tells me all that much more on why TST should exist, to protect everyone from religious nut jobs.

[@tc4583]

Satan has kept you and so many from knowing about the spiritual world. He is evil and loves the fact that you think this way because it means taking souls to hell to be tormented forever. He is destined to hell and hates God so he wants to take as many souls with him to hurt God. Only repentance, believing in and following Jesus can save us. You only have this moment as the future is not guaranteed. Seek Jesus and live.

[@tc4583]

@Robert Kowalski Yes he does. I came face to face with a demon and felt its hatred for me. I've experienced the physical presence of evil on more than one occasion and audibly heard their voice. I've also experienced the Presence of God which is perfect love, peace and bliss and in that moment knew that the God mentioned in the Bible is real. I have seen Jesus with my eyes, I have heard Holy Spirit speak to me. Ask Jesus to show you the truth and He will. The greatest deception Satan has pulled is to convince people that he is not real. Evil exists in the world. There are forces at work in the spiritual realm before they take place in the physical realm.

[@gnnascarfan2410]

The religious nut jobs threatening someone they don’t even know unironically makes me (an atheist) support TST’s mission even more.

just watched the movie on german television. lol'd a lot. loved it. lucien is mesmerizing.

[@Youre_Right]

Lucien is actually a really smart guy and I agree with a lot of what he says. I find it kind of humorous how it’s always the Christians that resort to violence and judging him when he speaks.

[@aaronjamesmoore757]

evil never loses its temper, they are monotone and carry out their evil deeds in a calm state of mind behind closed door or from afar.

[@MarkoZorecHimself]

We Christians do not judge anyone. We just don't like sin, we don't like hatred, selfishness, self-love and arrogance. We try to follow the words of Jesus: "Love your enemies."

[@bricesonc]

[@pisceandreams5893]

I'm going to tell you something that very few people know!! The Anti-christ is missing his RIGHT EYE!! Have you ever heard the Saying, (In the Land of the blind the man with one eye is King)!!!!! Dude your losing your soul and I seriously urge you to get it saved!! I have seen both Heaven and Hell and I can also tell you that Jesus exists and I have seen with my own eyes!! CORONA means Crown,,, Jesus said not to let the beast take your crown!!! CORONA is also (6),,,, Then CORONA = C-3 O-15 R-18 O-15 N-14 A-1=(66)...... Listen...... This is serious Shxt I'm talking about and I don't want you to be deceived!! I can show you things that will help you change your mind and I can guarantee you that you have never seen these things before, on the internet or anywhere else!! Get back to me when you get this and I urge you to please save your soul,, it's easy but you just have to ask!!

[@Ropetrick6]

@N A yeah, Piscean is.

[@tc4583]

Why?

[@jamescameron149]

I have to say, the gentleman is articulate and obviously intelligent. A reasoned and calm, considerate debate will always win me over as opposed to fire and brimstone. You are your own God.

[@pisceandreams5893]

You want to know how lost you are?? Your going to be in some serious Spiritual problems if you don't listen to what I'm about to tell you and show you!!! First CORONA translates to crown,,, Jesus said don't let the beast take your crown...... Also very few people know this but the official Anti-christ is missing his RIGHT EYE, ( IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND THE MAN WITH ONE EYE IS KING)!! Have you ever heard that?!?!...... Now CORONA is (6),, and when deciphering this Matrix you have CORONA= C-3 O-15 R-18 O-15 N-14 A-1=(66) which together equals 666..... The Anti-christ system and the mark of the beast is at (HAND).!! I seriously urge you to get saved and you will be covered with what is called the armor of GOD!! I can tell you for a fact that Jesus EXISTS and I have seen with my own EYEs!! Please God get saved because their are things to come that you will not even begin to see or understand!! If you want help on how to get saved I'll help you and it's very easy!! I would not tell you to do anything that I haven't done,, but time is running short and we don't have all the time in the world like alot of us have had before!! Get back to me when you get this!!

[@lambp136]

Well it's untrue : ) love you dude hope you make the right choice in life. Look up at the stars and the sun and think about who made that

[@Ropetrick6]

@@lambp136 Nobody needs to have made that, and it's more beautiful to see something like that made out of simple rules that interact with each other to create something so large and amazing. Stop trying to force your views that don't align with science onto others.

[@lambp136]

@@Ropetrick6 Who made those rules then haha. But I get what you're saying with it I mean I used to have a similar perspective on the matter. Time is a fickle thing and I know we get quite used to it because it's what we're born into and sometimes it's hard to see, but there's something that interacts with that time to speak with us, because he is greater than time, well created it so to speak. Forcing views is something so much else entirely that's why we got free will! I'm not taking that away from you or anyone. Whether it be your friends or family many people try to say things for your benefit and you ultimately decide for yourself what to do, just like in this case as well. But! There should be no tension if you indeed firmly believe I'm wrong or that it's wrong to believe that in general, wouldn't it be easier to consider me or others crazy and be left to our own devices. For in this case some people like bread and some people don't, yet I say bread is good! Try some. The farmer across the valley made it. Another might say No it's not! or I have not tried it and I don't intend too. Or even doubts about the bread's origin. But in no way did I force the bread upon the man. Faith is also somewhat like a key, or belief in general, as to how you believe in something often makes it a reality in a way, like the belief in deforestation might impact other's views to make a change, or the belief that a planet is the way it is because of certain things. We have ideas for what a chair might be and so take it from belief of what it is to express it in reality. The same goes for believing one is hungry even, inspires an action. It is actually funny if you think about how faith is so intermittently entangled in science and with everything we do in life, then sometimes the odd thing is if this is the case, why is the case? Why is belief and faith so important then, and I'd say that's the case because it's supposed to be that way, and really faith in something you can't see then makes me even more sense. Like do you believe in me being human and typing these words to you despite not being able to see me? It's similar in a way I'd say. I just feel life is all about choices as well...and really if that's the case too then it seems funny then also does it not? Shoot I make choices all day,, 100's of them, they seem so insignificant sometimes, even though they aren't for a lot of reasons, if its about choices, then it really highlights the importance of "choice" in general or specifically "one choice". Seems pretty fair to me the way its set up. Shoot even if you made that choice on dying breath

[@lambp136]

much of the stuff you see with people trying to lead others to Jesus comes off violently sometimes, I even see it in here, but this really just resultant out of the love that really filters into this desire to help, not to force a view, really just to help, sometimes you want to help someone so badly you scream don't jump!!. Seeing it from their perspective too helps a lot. People who believe have a lot of evidence in our eyes as to see it the way we do and sometimes were gifted with that evidence from a really good source as a reward for faith and do so try to tell others. It can be harder for us to see it from others' perspectives because it makes so much sense it almost as if unbelief isn't possible and so it can be harder to empathize in that regard, people do though I'm sure and it's a blessing.

[@labab9409]

If there are images of Christ, it is because He is the Word and He the Word was with God and The Word was God, and through Him all things were made. And even if they don't want to admit it, Satan and his followers exist because God made them, so only God must be worshiped because who is like God??? who like God???

[@nowankersallowed2115]

It is important though to know the why's .. if your an independent thinker it's fascinating as to why that's so important and where that stems from. Often it comes from childhood to some degree. I was asked why do I believe in God pretty much. I said it can't be summed up in a simple sentence pretty much. When you've struggled as much as I have with church and society as a general thing.. it means returning to basics. Why are people afraid to talk about their own normality within life and the experience that comes with that? Isn't that in fact where personal individual thought comes from? The starting of why's and how's and who's and how does this make sense to me personally? It never made sense to me that people aren't free to share yet talk about free speech or free thinking. The complexities of life can make things that much more interesting. If I am really not ashamed of who I am why would I fear sharing my own truth? It's one thing to quote things and another to say it or live it. Even though I often don't agree with the words coming from his mouth.. he's still very intelligent in his approach. Seperate the dumb dumbs who easily drink in the words of others as truth.. and yet will also just as quickly blame those people because they were "told" what to do.. hmm don't have the ability to think for self.. check. I actually think we come from opposite ends in the hope of achieving the same goal.. People who can think for themselves and take personal responsibility for their own issues and actions. No wonder I found him so attractive... Handsome.. aesthetically pleasing to my own twisted sense of humour.. for even in the spiritual there is a visual.. to see or hear all the horrified exclamations of how could you support such a thing.. Why.. because it shows the true independent thinkers and the ability to deal with themselves and work things out for themselves... Pluuus my carnal side enjoys it. That's just being honest. Evil twins are evil to one another in the most delightful ways.

This guy is articulate. However his pot shots at Christianity, doing spoofing and overboarding his social media to get a rise out of people defeats his cause before people can even talk to him. I'm a Christian, however I'd be a hypocrite to not accept people to believe what they wish, I can't dump on things I don't believe as I wouldn't want others to admonish me for things that cannot ever be explained by rational explanation.

[@Youre_Right]

I don’t see it as potshots. He just points out how incredibly hypocritical a lot of Christians are. I’ve never seen him lose his composure and verbally attack anyone. He may point out the utter ridiculousness that some Christians say and do when confronting him, but they opened themselves up for it.

I have seen with my own eyes!! I never even knew Jesus said any of these things before they happened to me and I find that to be a key part of all this!!
