After-School 'Satan Club' Takes New Aim at Archenemy: Christian Clubs for Kids
Fox News ^ | 2/14/22 | Lauren Green

The Satanic Temple is fighting against Christian-focused after-school clubs — and children are in the crosshairs

The Satanic Temple recently opened an after-school "Satan Club" in a Moline, Illinois, elementary school, as part of its nationwide campaign to push back against the Christian Good News Clubs offered to schoolchildren after regular-hour classes.

Parents protested outside the Jane Addams Elementary School in Moline when the first after-school Satan Club met there last month.

Last Thursday, a few people came out to protest the club's second meeting as well.

It's why some say that spiritual warfare is now taking place in America's public schools.

The Satanic Temple, which runs the program, said students would be offered activities such as science and crafts projects, puzzles and games — and that they would learn about benevolence, empathy, critical thinking, problem-solving and creative expression, too.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple spokesperson, told Fox News about the clubs, "I'm hoping that with our presence, people can see that good people can have different perspectives, sometimes on the same mythology, but not mean any harm."

Even if he doesn’t recognize the evil in satanism, how is it possible this guy and his friends don’t see its unrivaled weakness?

A real quality primarily evident in the fact that it always has to pretend to be what it is not.

The Satanic Temple is not hiding the fact that it created the clubs to take on the Christian club called the Good News Club — which has become its No. 1 nemesis.

The Chess Club is not opposed to people who play Checkers, and neither it does not consider the Drama Club to be their No. 1 nemesis.

This seems like an example of a school enabling bullies.

Wicked.

I was saved at a Good News Club that met in a home. In 1966 I do not think they were allowed to meet at the school.

Lucien is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

IIRC, he was on Faux not long ago, and he showed himself to be a poseur.

I know we have freedom of religion, but does anyone think that in their wildest nightmares our Founding Fathers intended it to include Satan worshipers? I don’t! I find this absolutely ludicrous and appalling!

I have bad news for them, the battle is already won. They have lost before they even started

Col 2:15 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

We can pray that the will discover the light.

The dork was on Fox and lied, said he wasn’t against the Christian club, merely an alternative. Satanism is like Islam, they lie a lot.

My wife told about it last week, it’s her hometown. She called her two brothers that still live there. Neither had heard about it.

They were disgusted to say the least.

Yes, I wish I could time travel to 1776, and let them know what some are up to now.
