Fox News Insider ^ | Feb 11 2015, 9:36 am

A Florida school board has made a controversial decision to ban the distribution of religious and political material in its schools.

The Orange County School Board previously allowed copies of the Bible in their schools, but they decided to reconsider the policy after receiving a request from the Satanic Temple to hand out Satanic coloring books.

The board decided that to avoid legal action, it had to ban Bibles and any other religious material from being passed out to students. …

Satanism (as organized by Anton LeVay) is an atheist ‘faith’, no belief in an existing God or devil.

The coloring books are a ‘spaghetti monster’ style attack on organized religion and as such not a ‘religious text’ of a faithful people.

Unlikely that they did not believe in Satan as their god. The “humanist” aspect was undoubtedly a ploy to suck in proselytes and atheists. Otherwise why the black magic rituals?

America is going to have to develop a tin foil paranoid attitude before we even begin to clean up and salvage the greatest nation God has ever allowed and blessed.

Is there a devil behind every tree ?

YES

(And even if you don't believe that ... you should think and act like you do) ...

I think a lot of people would be surprised with their own thoughts if they would allow themselves the liberty to be paranoid

“I think a lot of people would be surprised with their own thoughts if they would allow themselves the liberty to be paranoid” From the looks of things, it appears that many have already given in to paranoia and lost the ability to turn away from it. As for the Temple of Satan, though its’ members outwardly claim disbelief in demons as unseen but living intelligences matters not because reality does not exist in their darkened, deluded minds. This means that despite their claims they are unconscious Satanists nevertheless. They do his will and perform his cult.

You either allow all the materials from FALSE RELIGIONS or you allow no religious material at all. They chose right, as there is no use promoting all the other false regions in the world, in school, which outnumber (in count) the ONE TRUE RELIGION of Christianity.

We can give the TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE of CHRISTIANITY ourselves, outside of school!

Anton LaVey claimed to have come from a Carny (carnival sideshow) tradition.

The black mass rituals and imagery were hucksterism. Made his orgies seem more “naughty”.

Q: Why did the satanists offer cokoring books?
A: To get the Bible removed from the schools.

Mission accomplished!

Many years ago I happened on a phrase that I have not forgotten;

Paranoia is the first step of awareness.

I believe that only if my curiosity overcomes whatever fear some paranoia may induce.

My comment is not directed to the supernatural so much but as a method of seeing (imo, correctly) the insidious nature of people determined to destroy our nation

As a one year school board member, I was appalled to discover the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court had determined it unconstitutional to pray before a school board meeting !

How did that happen ?, I asked myself

Obviously some Satanically influenced entity worked to introduce the thought to weak (or determined) men and the argument successfully eliminated the opportunity for me to legally and publically ask God for help and guidance as I see the queer influence stacking the deck to bring gay teachers into the public school environment ... which awareness came about because I suspected THAT particular devil behind every tree and LO ... there they be

As noted in C.S. Lewis “The Screwtape Letters”, the most important thing Satan wants to convey to mankind is that he doesn’t exist.

The reason is that you will not be wary of an enemy who you fail to acknowledge exists.

(sound familiar?)

The article says the school allowed Bibles in the school. It doesn’t say the school allowed Bibles to be handed out in school. I assume that means kids were allowed to bring their Bible from home and read it when they had free time. The satan group wanted to hand out their coloring book at the school. There’s a big difference between the two. I agree that the school should not be in the business of handing out any religious or political material but I see nothing wrong with a kid bringing a Bible from home. It seems the school kind of threw out the baby with the bath water here.

It's the purpose and bane of PC

Both sides are represented in any situation and if one side is objectionable, then PC demands both are ...

We're dealing with the GSA (gay/straight alliance) club in our high school and the latest attack was, "Are you homophobic?" which is PC wordspeak to align the opposition as an offensive position ... and of course if you are offensive, I must defend myself ... you are the bad guy and I'm the victim .. and THAT'S the intent and purpose of PC

It shuts down all argument and discussion by which a negative element might be eliminated or refused and by silence, the negative element enters in

It's damned evil

Yeah, that’s the most surprising thing. Who was allowed to distribute bibles?

I hear that there was an attempt to circulate a Mohammad coloring book, but it fell through when the rest of the group beheaded the artist for blasphemy.

How did they choose right? “False religion” does not fall under the Free Exercise Clause, being false.
