Lucien Greaves of The Satanic Temple

Lucien Greaves is a social activist and the spokesman and co-founder of The Satanic Temple. Greaves has become a national figure not only as the face of The Satanic Temple but for leading successful campaigns and iconoclastic protests such as the Pink Mass at the grave of the mother of Fred Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church. The Satanic Temple's attempts to exercise its right to religious freedom have resulted in state and local governments removing contentious Christian displays from public areas such as the Belle Plaine, Minn., Veterans Memorial Park.

8:40 I literally spit all over my monitor laughing at "At first we weren't sure if it was a threat... coming from him." That really brightened my day!

[@preflex3502]

Yeah. Lucien's dry humor cracks me up.

[@ross1116]

Agree. That was good

[@briancordova1299]

"Objective inversion. Exactly!

[@girliboi]

lulz.. i've never seen lucien this sweet. like he wants to make a good impression meeting his date's parents for the first time.

[@wardrich]

I think it's important to understand your audience. It's also really warming to see this side of him. This video would be very good to share with pepe that might be interested but unsure of TST Satanism, as it's very approachable and family friendly.

[@Not_An_EV]

"Ah well hello it's nice to meet you mr and slightly younger mr Morningstar I promise I'll take care of your son Lucy. He means so much to me."

[@silverwolfmonastery]

Lucien is among friends. Additionally, Annie and Dan are warm wonderful people. It is easier to communicate with them than with a Bill O'Reilly style bully who doesn't let people finish their thoughts. Still... I agree, I have never seen Lucien so at ease and charming.

[@ChillAssTurtle]

@@silverwolfmonastery id hug dan and annie if it wasnt weird, they do seem to be very warm and loving folks indeed

[@xx-ve6pf]

I've never seen Lucien mean or angry either though😂

[@justinpridham7919]

Such reasonable positions to take on social and religious equality issues. Can't say a bad thing about this co-founder's presentation, clearly semantics is very important and he answers in a concise manner. Very good interview, reveals the true nature of the Temple's mission. I've become a fan of Lucien Greaves.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

"The First Amendment is the antithesis of the First Commandment." Very true!

[@usmale4915]

This is very interesting, if not educational. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you so very much FFRF for the great upload!

[@gohan3rdrift]

Never forget when Lucien Greaves owned Megyn Kelly.

[@ftjax]

Well he was dealing with sheer ignorance

[@asecretturning]

"I wasn't sure if it was a threat, coming from him" 💀🤣🤣🤣

[@bryandunn68]

Brilliant. Thank you again for another wonderfully informative show. I lost my career as a teacher a few years back due to being open about my atheism. I relish and support all each one of you does. I love the premise of the Satanic Temple. I post the tenets on Facebook awhile back without reference. Everyone agreed with all of them except using science as a basis for truth. It reinforces the daily struggle.

[@garyk1334]

Wow I'm surprised they can do that to you . Is there no protection in law ?

[@allieh8349]

@@garyk1334 Not unless its protection for the sake of the big invisible christian sky daddy... MURICA!

[@2SecondsAgo]

And... these christians are being so-called "persecuted all the time".

[@anachronistofer]

As usual, Mr. Greaves presents himself as articulate, thoughtful, logical, well educated, and eloquent. He offers a strong and cogent point of view and dialectic, backed by factual evidence. The two FFRF hosts are well meaning but seem fairly clueless by comparison. They aren't even able to pronounce Lucien's name correctly.

And empathetic

Anybody that is against superstition - especially in education, gets a like from me.

[@jenniebugs1]

Depends what you judge to be superstition.

anything that cant be proven@@jenniebugs1

[@KittyCandyCupcakes]

Ooh I've been waiting for this one! My favourite people, together at last! ❤❤❤

[@necko2529]

I very much enjoyed this show. It was extremely pleasant listening to Lucien Greaves.

[@avedic]

Well, shit.... So first, I'm an atheist who is keenly interested and fascinated by Lucien and his endeavours. But....I'm about a third of the way through this video....and I went to hit the "like" icon....when I noticed it was quite literally at 666 likes. And I had to make a decision....click it anyway or leave it be? I clicked. This interview is just too good. I'm sorry.... It was me. :/

[@devinhanley3555]

Dang, All the ladies be vibing with Satan guy

[@shenandoahdelrio453]

Wow this was a very Pleasant interview, that’s rare!

[@vincentkeely59]

A well spoken, highly educated individual. Thank you for your leadership Lucien!

[@trollbbqer1267]

Thank you guys for all your work to protect precious freedoms!👍 Unfortunately Arkansas just got an even worse Gov than before, she just pulled school tax dollars to private (Christian) schools and away from public schools. If public schools have to consolidate in rural areas due to reduced funding, some kids will be spending 2+ hours each way being bussed to & from school!😳 If officials in these red states had their way, no schooling would exist other than ✝ !😒🇺🇸

[@SeraphinaNYC]

Lucien is such a treasure.

[@user-qm8cc5go8r]

Two great organizations doing much needed work! If I ever win the lotto both organizations on my list for a large donation!

[@daverobertson623]

This guy is actually astonishingly intelligent.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

The whole Satanic thing is a put-on act that’s chiefly meant to challenge freedom of religion in the US Constitution. Anton LaVey was also nothing but a grand showman a la PT Barnum. They’re not really evil, they’re just challenging the system to be thought provoking. Have you seen the documentary, Hail, Satan? Satanism is not what you think it is. Greaves is in on the “joke” and doing it purely for socio theological debate and discourse. Of course, every religion has its lunatic fringe. THOSE are the ones to watch out for.

[@anontimothy8]

You can be intelligent and still be a fool

[@ross1116]

That was a great show

[@robertpreston2220]

Love Lucien and The Satanic Temple and what they do just as much as I love the FFRF and what they do!

[@panthera50]

[@PRHILL9696]

Lucien is always so well spoken he is the perfect person to keep true Satanism going! And I love everything he and his group does just as I love what the FFRF does!

[@NIHTMRE-bm6iy]

Very bright young man. I respect this guy.

[@djcharforce]

I'm in love with this humble man and I'm a Christian. ❣️

[@steveverdugo8106]

"Talk about irony" XD

[@acerbicatheist2893]

Please let me know if the dear fellow, Lucien Greaves, is blind in his right eye, or if I was merely bamboozled by the lighting. I really would like to know. Thank you. Great stuff Dan, keep it going. I'd join... no, stuff it, just because I'm not in North America does not mean I should not. Both groups deserve support, especially now.

[@znyznyzny]

he has said it's scarred. not much more info on it.

[@jr8260]

When I first saw him I thought damn that's the perfect representative for his organization

[@Starlight_Silver]

My smart, sexy Lucien. (Well, okay, he’s not mine.) I saw that pic of you teabagging a tombstone, LOL. Sent that to my sister, who appreciated the share. 😄 She’s on the FFRF board in her hometown. Anyway, I’m a big fan. Love to see you in interviews. Happy Winter Solstice. (Hello Ms. Gaylor & Mr. Barker. I love your work. Thanks for all you do for us.)

[@MichaelFenley]

Very informative. Thanks Lucien for the info.

[@Sydney_With_A_Why]

Hey Lucien, nice to see you again. I enjoy your role in setting convention on its ear, thanks ☺

I totally dig Lucien and I love Annie Laurie and Dan. What a great program. I am a proud member of FFRF too.

[@MorganJ818]

[@mikealwelches7567]

World's of witty wealth 🤑 Lucian primetime game 🎯 on

[@eshaffer55]

Thank you, Lucien. And of all of the memorials to fallen soldiers I've seen, the quiet gravity of the Satanic Temple memorial is the most impressive.

[@llongone2]

Great talk from a wonderful guest.

[@sighi28]

Just wondering if the parents of the two hosts were also atheists.

[@TheAnnieMay]

Annie Laurie’s mother was. Dan’s parents were not And he was a preacher for 19 years

This looked like a SNL skit 🤣🤣🤣

[@proximusarcturian7496]

Good man!

[@cat_alyst6306]

I’m here because of something Satan said. And I’m paraphrasing here; “Why should we go to war to rule over God and his world to be oppressive to others when we can just live on our terms, as we see fit.” 🤔I mean Satan…..I support that statement lol the caveat also being as long as you aren’t harming others. I’m good with that. Satan in translation just simply means adversary.

[@javiermorales1084]

This was great!

[@doneestoner9945]

Much respect for Lucien.

[@Bethoflife]

Lucien Greaves will discover too late that Jesus is real, if he doesn't start seeking Him soon. You must first repent before you pray. He will reveal himself to you.
