    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.

      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.

      I can see what you’re driving towards. It’d be far more ideal for us adults to hash this out, yeah?

      I wish they’d remove Under God from the damn pledge of allegiance, but it seems schools are the next major battleground (sometimes literally) for all things political.

        You mean bring the pledge back to its original form pre 1954? It wasn’t there before, it was added incase people don’t know or forgot.

        It was written in 1892 without religion

        That’s exactly my point. Insecure religions (including the Satanists) use schools as a battleground for their political goals. It shouldn’t be allowed.

        Religion should be something that’s between the kids and the parents (for better or for worse) until the kids are matured, maybe 16 years old at least.

        It’s generally been the case that the parents are the most unbiased wellwishers of the kids, something that religious organizations often cannot do.

      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.
