Bremerton HS students invite satanists to oppose praying coach [Psalms 9]
GOP USA ^ | 10/29/2015 | Kitsap Sun

BREMERTON -- When the Bremerton Knights take the field against Sequim on Thursday, a group of Satanists dressed in ceremonial robes will be watching from the stands. The members of The Satanic Temple of Seattle say they are coming to the game to advocate for religious equality, in light of the controversy sparked by Bremerton High School assistant football coach Joe Kennedy, who has threatened to sue the school district if he is not allowed to pray on the field after games. Bremerton School District spokeswoman Patty Glaser confirmed Wednesday the district has received a request from the Satanic Temple asking to be allowed access to the field after the game for a ceremony. The district is working on a statement in response, Glaser said.

The Satanists aren't coming uninvited. Two Bremerton High School students responded to a public offer made by the Temple this week to give an invocation at the game and asked the Satanists to attend. The two students had different motivations for contacting the Satanists, but both said they wanted to emphasize the need for equal religious opportunity at their school. They believe if the district allows prayer on the football field after games, people of all faiths should be allowed to participate.

"The school district needs to create religious opportunity for everyone or ban it completely," said Abe Bartlett, senior class president and one of the students who contacted the Satanic Temple. "There can't be a middle ground..."

Psalms 9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works . 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6 O thou enemy , destructions are come to a perpetual end : and thou hast destroyed cities * ; their memorial is perished with them. 7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble * . 13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made : in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth : the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten : the expectation of the poor * shall not perish for ever. 19 Arise , O LORD; let not man prevail : let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear * , O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

I agree! A nation can only “forget” God if it once actually “knew” God...

“religious equality”
Those two words tell you what is in their mind. All religions are equal. Do not favor one over another. In their stupid minds the ROP is just another religion, and that’s why neckslicers have special privileges in this once-great United States.

The Supe is going to lose his/her job over this. Whoever it is will be able to write books about how not to create a brand threat when there wasn’t one in the first place.

The Supe could have responded:

“It neither breaks my back nor picks my pocket what another man believes. As long as what the coach is doing is voluntary, his activity endangers nobody, nor does it impact the district economically.”

When the press finds out it was Jefferson that first uttered the opening line of the response, they’ll have already stepped on the mine.

You talk about bending over backwards to borrow trouble.

Mine too, lived there for decades having been born there. Whereabouts did you hail from? I lived within a mile circumference from the old East High School for many years.

if any of these little weasel’s ever came face to face with real evil and a demon they would literally shit in their pants.

They have no idea what real evil is, let alone having ever met it up close and been It’s focus...

They just might have that opportunity. Amorth’s book about it is terrifying, but it is also, in my opinion, pretty scientific (Hostage to the Devil).

Amorth shows patterns and variations in possession. These two are begging for an education.

West High, class of ‘65. I was a box boy at the Food King on the East side.

We lived on 5th, just down the hill from the Catholic church. Mom still lives in the old house half the year. Dad passed on two years ago.

The Satanists ought to include in their prayer, “and show thy favor on thy faithful servant Barack”

Ephesians 6

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Amen
