I think the point they're trying to make is that if you're going to try to sneak one religion into the school, be prepared for every other religion to follow - even (especially!) the ones you don't like.  Don't want kids bringing that home?  Don't try to insist on prayer in the schools...

I'd say that's their point as well. 



Yes, I am channeling their argument.  I'm not making it my own

LB, that would mean using common sense in public schools.  WTF are you thinking man!

Here's a test for all you free thinkers and First Amendment supporters, the Satanic Temple has submitted a coloring book and two fact sheets to the Orange County, Florida school district for approval to be distributed in county schools.  Now, I am not a church goer, but, my personal belief is in Jesus as my Lord and Savior.  And I gotta say, this disturbs me greatly.  I do not have children of school age any more, but, if one of my kids came home with that, I'm not sure I could get to a school board member fast enough to ask them wtf was going on?!  So, if the Temple gets their way, this HAS to be distributed in the schools.  What would YOU do?

My initial, knee-jerk reaction is basically the same as yours.  However, the more that I understand about the actual "Church of Satan" (as opposed to isolated packs of self-style Satan worshippers who do awful shit), the more I see them as somewhat ridiculous.

Freedom of religion is just that.

The blessed thing for him would be to avoid this thread, lest he be assailed by puns

I had eggs benediction for breakfast.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

My school might have been the last on Earth to offer it.

That, or Mrs. Johnson was a fucking genius.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

As long as I am being sainted for mercilessly opposing puns, I am all for it.

No, you are being punished.

I wonder if they will have to switch to a new brand of Hand Satanizer now that the Son of Perdition is attending school?
