I doubt sincerely that it will fade away, they are going for blood, the blood of our children. They are very impressionable and can be easily influenced, we as Christians need to step up our prayers for all the children everywhere, that God will raise up a standard against this evil influence, this is not a one time prayer that I am speaking of, it is a continual bombardment of Heaven on behalf of those who are innocent and the wolves are about to devour them.

They have every right to, land of freedom, it is not like he wasn't already causing an impact there either, and yes, many places have after school clubs of this belief, at least it is not the students putting it on this time, however, this is not exactly the belief system you think your experiencing, I used to have a friend into that person's religion, the name does not refer to a belief in the enemy, it refers to hippy style thinking which says, belief in absolute freedom, is contrary to christianity, it was developed in the 60's, so in that way, this is like an opposite religion, but my friend told me it is really more about personal freedom than anything, the name is metaphorical for being opposite of the church's teachings in those times, these people are not the same as the ones with the same name going back thousands of years, they do not actually worship a being

'Educatin' with Satan': Satanic Temple pushing after school clubs

"Doug Mesner, the Satanic Temple’s co-founder, told the Post it boils down to this: If Christian evangelical groups have already staked a claim in after-school programs, why shouldn’t Satanists have a seat at the table as well?"

The fact that people in the US are entertaining this statement tells us all we need to know what time it is. Any other countries out there that have after school satan clubs? Just curious.
Just another reason not to put your kids into public school. What's the real reason Satanists are pushing their agenda on the state?

1. Satanism is dressed up atheism. It has no beliefs in a god, although some of its members might hold beliefs in spiritual atheism.
2. If it ticks off Christians, Christians will start trying to get the state involved in banning it. That might infringe on the First Amendment, depending how liberal we are in our definitions of a religion (but Satanism is more of a secular movement against religion than a religion itself).
3. And When Christians start infringing on the First Amendment, it'll make it easier for Satanism (which is atheism, remember?) to infringe on the First Amendment and take Christianity out of public circles by citing legal precedent that Christians had established (the secularists have already tried something similar once with the "Separation of Church and State" which doesn't appear in the Constitution).

The way Christians combat this stuff is:

1. Address whether secularism and atheism are protected under the First Amendment.
2. Know what Satanism is.
3. Understand what the founding fathers meant by "religion" when they wrote the First Amendment. English and other languages change. Laws, however, do not change with language but rather by legal precedent. Religion in "he found religion", for instance, means something entirely different in Christian circles than religion would mean in law circles.

If the founding fathers, when they wrote the First Amendment, were thinking, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of atheism and secularism, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" then the Satanists have a valid point. If not, then they don't.

Satanic leader: After-school clubs send positive message

By Philip Marcelo The Associated Press

POSTED: Friday, Oct. 28, 2016 - 4:01 p.m.

SALEM >> The Satanic Temple is waging religious battles along a variety of fronts nationwide, and its co-founder says it's just getting started.

The 3-year-old organization is fighting to get a nearly 9-foot, 1.5-ton statue of the goat-headed idol Baphomet placed on the Arkansas Capitol grounds as a counterpoint to a planned Ten Commandments monument.

Members have also proposed "After School Satan Clubs" in elementary schools from Oregon to Georgia where evangelical Christian "Good News Clubs" are operating.

And they've been pushing city councils from Alaska to Massachusetts to allow Satanists to give the opening prayer at public meetings — just as Christian, Jewish and other religious clerics have long done.

The Associated Press caught up with Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves as the organization settles into its news international headquarters in a former funeral parlor in Salem, the city north of Boston infamous for its 17th-century witch trials. The organization claims about 20 chapters and 50,000 members worldwide, including outposts in Britain, Finland, Italy and the Netherlands.

The article continues with Q&A between the Associated Press and The Satanic Spokesperson ...
