Satanic Temple brings ‘Satan Club’ to elementary school
New York Post ^ | September 28, 2016 | Fox News

Rezz previously told the paper that most members of the Satanic Temple are atheists who see Satan as an allegory for free thought, and that the program is intended to promote “benevolence and empathy for everybody.”

The purpose, Rezz told the paper, is meant to counter “the Good News Club,” an after-school club put on by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, “a Bible-centered organization.

Satanic Temple of Seattle spokesman Tarkus Claypool said a parent brought the Bible club to their attention because the parent was concerned the club was teaching children to evangelize to other children, according to the Associated Press.

Good News Club doesn’t do that anyway. Kids choose to go, or not, children are invited to go, it is not as if they are getting the Bible beat over their heads. I was saved through Good News Club even though I attended church with my parents.

It’s an improvement that they switched to an honest name. They used to call themselves the Young Democrats.

What parent was so afraid of Christianity? Who? I suspect the ACLU is always looking for ways to inject themselves in such matters. They may even advertise for new clients, the way slip and fall lawyers do.

It may take an act of massive simultaneous defiance to make this stop. If multiple school districts refuse to allow this danger in. Refuse to pay any fines and afterward refuse to accept federal funding. That last part will be very difficult for most school districts. This may be the only way to push these crazy new rules away. This includes the War On Bathrooms in favor of Transexuals.

Why do we pussyfoot around with this scum? We should get their names and addresses, afix it to literature insulting and cursing Allah and the Prophet Mohammed, and then covertly drop this stuff off in known Muslim areas.

We *OUGHT* to be working at getting the Muslims to kill these F***ing @$$holes. We would be getting rid of sicko creeps and psychotic Muslims at the same time.

We need to start playing for keeps.

...most members of the Satanic Temple are atheists who see Satan as an allegory for free thought...

How ironic...

The neural circuits in our brain manage the beautifully coordinated and smoothly appropriate behavior of our body. They also produce the entrancing introspective illusion that thoughts really are about stuff in the world. This powerful illusion has been with humanity since language kicked in, as we’ll see. It is the source of at least two other profound myths: that we have purposes that give our actions and lives meaning and that there is a person “in there” steering the body, so to speak.

Very imprudent of people in Seattle to mock God while sitting on one of the planet’s most unstable fault lines.

There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.
