Satanic Temple to distribute materials to school children in Florida

[wehateporn]

The Satanic Temple has announced that it will provide pamphlets on Satanism to students in Florida, following the school board?s decision permitting the distribution of religious materials.

Among the materials that are set to be distributed are pamphlets on the philosophy, practice of Satanism, the Satanic Temple?s tenets. Also, the sect tells school children about their legal rights to choose to practice Satanism, according to the official press release.

Earlier this month, the school system made a decision to let any religious and atheist materials be provided in schools.

The Temple said that although it does not agree with the school board?s decision to allow religious materials in schools, it will continue ?to ensure that pluralism is respected whenever the Church/State division is breached.?

Temple spokesperson Lucien Greaves explains: ?We think the responsible thing to do is to ensure that these students are given access to a variety of differing religious opinions, as opposed to standing idly by while one religious voice dominates the discourse and delivers propaganda to youth.?

?I am quite certain that all of the children in these Florida schools are already aware of the Christian religion and its Bible, and this might be the first exposure these children have to the actual practice of Satanism. We think many students will be very curious to see what we offer,? Greaves added.

The Satanic Temple came into the media spotlight after announcing it is going to erect a seven-foot Baphomet statue next to a Ten Commandments monument at the Oklahoma State Capitol. It also unveiled plans to build a chapel in Detroit.

Well.... if they make laws that allow religious bullshit into schools it's only fair to allow all types of stupidity. maybe it will point out the mistake of allowing this shit (GOD) into schools at all.

And also, the majority of Satanists don't really believe in god. (Really!!! Sounds incorrect, but talk to them and you'll find this to be mostly true) They use this religion to fight the power and to not conform to the norm. Not many are stupid enough to worship the number two guy in this story.

Believing in any religion pretty much makes you stupid. Whether Satanist's think they are "cool" or not is irrelevant. A grownup believing in fairy tales is just pathetic no matter if they are christian, muslim, satanist, etc.

Ps. Why do the Satanic people always have creepy names like the spokesman quoted in the article. He's probably just a harmless goth nerd but Lucien Greaves? I mean, come on.

Totally agree and I also don't see any difference to other religions. If Christians are allowed to do so, why Satanists are not? Otherwise it's a pure discrimination.

because satanic beliefs/practices are considered universally evil in nature?

Seriously, did any of you even go to high school? None of you can make a sound argument to save your lives...
