    Yeah, that’s my point. Their whole organization is trolling and I don’t think that they should use kids for publicity. Nor do I think that they should attempt to influence kids at all, just like every other religion.

      Imagine being such a terminal simp for anti-American thuggery that you think standing up for civil rights is “trolling.”

        I’m standing up for the kids right to live in peace and not be coerced to fulfill the insecurities of any religious group.

            I don’t believe that elementary school children sought the local chapter of the Satanists by themselves. Someone invited themselves into the kids lives and I think that’s inappropriate.

            I don’t think that children should be involved in extracurricular religious activity until they’re 16. Just like they shouldn’t be involved in sexual activity until they’re 18, despite being physically capable.

      You’re confusing Satanists with Pastafarians. The latter ones are indeed grumpy, annoying, one-trick pony trolls, while Satanists are an inclusive, rational, social movement which has understood that levity is serious business.

      How are they influenced, and they aren’t used being used for publicity from what I can tell from the article. One of the first posts here does a pretty good summary of the article that it centers more around the outrage than actually the after-school program itself.
