A group of robe-wearing, incense-spreading, self-described Seattle Satanists plans to attend a Washington state high school football game on Thursday, in the latest turn of a controversy over a Christian coach’s postgame prayers.

Bremerton High School senior class President Abe Bartlett said Wednesday that he was one of a few students who invited The Satanic Temple of Seattle to attend the game. He called it an effort to get the school district to clarify its policy: While officials last month asked assistant coach Joe Kennedy to stop praying at the 50-yard line, he has continued the practice and threatened a lawsuit if the district forces him to stop. …

As C. S. Lewis pointed out, it’s a lot easier to ask Satan in than to get him to leave.

How many Christians can they get to show up at the game?

A couple of thousand maybe?

CS Lewis said it best,

"I know someone will ask me, Do you really mean, at this time of day, to re-introduce our old friend the devil-hoofs and horns and all?"

Well, what the time of day has to do with it I do not know. And I am not particular about the hoofs and horns. But in other respects my answer is "Yes, I do." I do not claim to know anything about his personal appearance.

If anybody really wants to know him better I would say to that person, 'Don’t worry. If you really want to, you will. Whether you’ll like it when you do is another question. ' " I only feel pity for them. So full of pride and hate that they go with that.

Foolish foolish children. Do not play with the things of darkness, it is best to ignore them, and let these things stay in the darkness.

Violence? Because you disagree with them? That really makes it clear why the coach should not be doing this. They say they were invited to do this. And one of the bottom lines for freedom is so clear. It is trivial to support someone’s freedom of speech if you agree with them. The real test of freedom is to defend someone you disagree with.

I don’t care if a student wants to pray in the end zone and find a finger pointed upward after a TD is not a personal foul. But teachers should not be leading prayers. Not at school functions and not in class. And not of any religion.

So the only real question is still do you believe in free exercise of religion when someone you disagree with wants to exercise it? The coach opened the door...
