School Supports Satanist Club

[Cicero]

This is sick. Experience shows that a lot of Satanists start out in a laughing sort of way, not really believing in what they are doing, and then they find that they are in for a lot more than they bargained for.

Inviting Satan to come in is a very, very dumb, self-destructive, and ultimately evil thing to do.

"The Satanic Thought Society" .... in most schools this is called "The Young Republicans".

Discussion of Jesus can certainly polarize a room. I've even been told, by a friend nonetheless, that even telling someone that I'm a Christian is 'preaching'.

Satanism is not a religion but an anti-religion.

Anton LeVay was a circus performer before he founded the Church of Satan in 1969. He is a showman, no more, no less. In fact, has anyone ever heard from him since the Satanism scare of the mid-1980s when he went on the Talk Show circuit?

[Paul Atreides]

I'm sure their parents are so proud.

[Maigrey]

This is quite frightening! seperation of Church and State, but the first amendment allows the "Satanic Thought Society." I'm quite confused by this.

hmmmm. I thought that the school could control the dissemination of certain "disruptive" informations while during school and on school grounds. Wouldn't this qualify?

Oh wait. This is Kalifornia, where christianity is outlawed, and "alternative religions" are embraced by all who conform.

These issues really test my nerve and my views on the first amendment.

Anton LeVey is dead. Several years, in fact. with any luck, he is sharing a cell with Osama!

The irony is that the son of the person credited with founding the Church of Satan, Anthony LaVey, denounced both his father and that religion. In fact, the boy changed his first name to Jess to hide the connection. Jess now belongs to an "fundamentalist" Christian organization.

But you da*n well better not mention that many people believe the Universe might have been created by an intelligent being!

This would appear to be one of those urban myths Christian fundamentalists spread.

Oh let's not let them get together, please. Birds of a feather...

[Terriergal]

I mean, you know the stories about the beast with the fatal wound...

I just attended the Billy Graham Crusade and got to counsel a 12 year old who became a Christian tonight.

I got "wet eyes" as I talked with him about how to receive Christ: admit that he had sinned, repent from it, believe that Jesus Christ died for him on the cross and rose from the grave, and to invite Jesus to come in and control his life through the Holy Spirit.

It was an AWESOME experience!!

Oh Wow Concerned....what a blessing for you to have!!!

And I'm sooooo sorry. I missed your post earlier.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us and please forgive me for being so slow to respond to a totally AWESOME experience, just think of all the kids that little one is going to witness to!

Thank you Jesus!!!!!

Hmh... it does seem rather strange that a school would approve such a club. But non the less Christian, Satanic, Muslim or whatever you are by religion, it's not a problem to believe in what you believe. As long as you don't harm anybody or brake the law, a religion is something you need to survive, a man without faith(no matter what faith) isn't fully alive. But still I should say that getting too involved in anything is bad for your health, no matter if it's satanism, christianity, french fries or fizzy drinks:). If you know where to stop it's not a crime no matter how you look at it.
I just have to ask is there really someone who truly and deeply believes that God is a bright light, that for seven days created what we call the Universe. I my self believe(as I said it's too hard to live without faith) that there should be something like a guiding force, but I can't quite except the idea of God as described(even if not very detailed) in the Bible.

Apparently there is some debate about it. But some newspapers have credited him as the son.
