Long story short, the Satanic Temple is going to be opening "After School Satan Clubs" in various elementary schools that also have "After School Worship" type clubs. Thoughts?
Somewhat ironically they are piggybacking on legislation implemented by theist lobbying groups, specifically the Liberty Council.
From the article:
“We would like to thank the Liberty Counsel specifically for opening the doors to the After School Satan Clubs through their dedication to religious liberty”
Does this club dabble into the occult and go around haunting houses with spooks , or it is just an antichrist club which is designed to offend Christians ?
It's only fair. If one is allowed, then all must be allowed. If you ban one, then all must be banned. This isn't Burger King, and you can't "have it your way" while denying others the tight to have it *their* way.

Ironically the Church of Satan doesn't worship or believe in a personal devil. It is basically more like a parody church, like the Church of Bob, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. They are simply trying to make fundamentalist heads explode for the sheer fun of it by creating a competing version of the "good news clubs" and insisting on equal time wherever there is already a good news club. The result will be that many communities will simply choose to not have ANY release time classes rather than have actual religious liberty that they claim they want. The truth is, evangelicals want religious liberty only for themselves, not others.
It is the same as the choice communities have with any use of public space: either you have to open it to everyone, or (and this is generally cheaper and simpler) just don't make it available for any outside group.

Read the article, the answer to the questions you ask are found within.

As opposed to other religious clubs that dabble in the occult and designed to offend people a a whole?
