    im torn between tst and secular buddhism. Luckily they are not mutually exclusive or demand they are the only way.

      I’ve encountered several TST members who also practice Buddhism. It seems to be the religion that overlaps the most. It seems odd to me, because I thought Buddhism rejected the material world while TST embraces it, but I’m probably missing something.

        embracing the material world is a different satanism. tst has the seven tenents which are mostly about human rights.

          How are those not embracing the material world? The 5th tenet makes it explicitly materialist.

          The leaders aren’t sitting around meditating. They’re in court, doing material things.
