Satanic Temple fighting for representation in schools 

thats the point of the TST, separation of church and state, and what better way to antagonize christian religion in schools than TST sponsored programs?

@@jscotthatcher380 OK...I'll swear an oath in court on a deck of tarot cards.....and BTW...why do you operate NOT IN THE OPEN AND HIDE ????

There should be no schools that are regulated by the federal government

@@jscotthatcher380 what Christian religion in schools? Private schools? Why antagonize?

That's the point. The Church of Satan wants to make religion in schools a farce. They don't care about converting anyone, it's about making a point of how much religion is in schools still.

The dumbing down of America has been an ongoing government project for decades now. They have succeeded to a degree and they would like to proceed with their agenda. Actual education would sully their endgame.

Evangelicals happened...

Embrace the Satanic Temple and I can guarantee all of those subjects being taught in schools, so long as the bad religions are kept at bay, like catholicism and christianity.

And yet you probably insist that they continue showing the evolutionist theory that we descended from monkeys despite the fact that all of that has been revealed to be nothing more than a religion pretending to be science rather than actual science. To this day, no real evidence has appeared to verify that we are actually descendants of apes. Every single so-called link between humans and apes has turned out to be nothing more than a full human or a full ape.

Why doesn't that include woke beliefs also? I don't want that religion pushed in school.

​@@metalacop this is exactly why the satanic temple movement was created. At first as sarcastic point. Now it's actually even proving an important point. Christians push their agenda in schools, and so why can't the Satan worshipers be allowed to do the same? So eventually, religion and faith should ask be banned from schools.

​@@metalacopI get it, you're afraid of books.

​@@metalacop im dying to know what "woke" beliefs youre talking about.

Abiogenesis is atheistic religious dogma preached in schools to children.

Public schools are the exact place where they should be taught. It’s in the title public. Religious beliefs, reflect society, so children should learn about how the society they live in are influenced.

​@@conviviostates6540they should learn about all religions in the same way that they learn about many different countries and cultures. I learned about various religions including Christianity (and I was raised fundamentalist Christian so I would have known if the teacher was incorrect, she was not) in one of my favorite classes in high school. But none of them were taught as truth. It was just "this is religion X, these are the beliefs of religion X, this is the history of religion X, etc." That's awesome! I genuinely enjoyed learning that stuff. We should have that in every public school. But there should be absolutely no teaching of any religion as truth, which includes having chaplains, in ANY public school. That belongs in private schools.

Well said!!!

Common sense says this is obviously wrong.

They're in school to get an education. "Social skills" are just a part of life and have nothing to do with school.

That's basically the point they're making, all the Satanic Temple does is concern troll like this so nobody wants religion in schools anymore.

@@ruthsaunders9507 I guess if you’re home schooled then yes, social skills mean nothing. But it absolutely does in public schools. Being able to converse with peers on a daily basis helps students build their speech and character. It’s an important part of adolescent development.

@@ORO323 That's not what school is about though. The teachers were so condescending with their "social" nonsense and they didn't give a crap about actual education. Our real social lives were far far better away from that rotten place.

@@ruthsaunders9507 Though in modern days, school has absolutely no use except to teach children social skills. Other than that we can do everything else by using the internet or a calculator or by reading a book or a dictionary. Schools are EXTREMELY outdated.

Hi, I'm Baphomet. I'm an ancient idol who's been around long before all of the major religions. I represent the balance between man and woman, animal bird and human. I'm not the devil, because he doesn't exist.

The first textbook used in public schools was the Bible. Prayer was removed in the 1960’s. So with all these improvements it can only get better from here.

I’m sorry that happened but not all Christians are bad but we are all human so we do make mistakes but I hate that so many so called Christians have caused others to see them as hateful people when we are supposed to show love and kindness. I have been around plenty of people that called themselves Christians and glad I finally found a church that actually acts like Christians because unfortunately there are plenty of fake judge-mental people that turns people away from the Lord because of their actions.

That is why the Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil governance. The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793) _“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797.

As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". The language itself makes a clear direct statement that _*_our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_* _"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"_ *- James Madison 4th president* (A Memorial And Remonstrance, On The Religious Rights Of Man: Written In 1784-85)

Exactly....the Cherokee

Christ was hung on a cross for challenging the dogma of his time, and siding with the outcasts of society. Later, the christian faith painted his death as a 'sacrifice' to absolve the human race of their guilt regarding what they did to him. If anyone here has seen the Green Mile then I often think that film is a far more powerful tale of Christ than all the dogma in the world.

Bro, the KKK is barely even relevant anymore.

Schooling is for learning. We are part of a society; religion is a part of that society. What better place to learn about the beliefs of other people and how their decision-making process is influenced in a safe environment known as the classroom. I taught Christianity, Islam, and secular humanism for a decade. Students are required to take religious education, all four years in high school, and must pass an exam. In Europe, they have done this for decades. Are European teenagers, smarter and more emotionally equipped to handle reality than American teenagers?
