Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school [W:320]

Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

On what grounds?

im guessing based on past experience because of his faith and because he doesn't like it
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

A sure sign of where our society has gone very, very badly wrong. There are plenty of other, much more subtle versions of this going on all the time, but few this blatant.

We've established some rather corrupt principles, under which, as a society, we feel compelled to treat evil as equal to good.

um bob what's evil about the satanic temple?

TENETS |

•One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
•The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
•One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
•The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
•Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
•People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
•Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

ok they do charge a lot for merchandise

How can you outlaw just Satan. Planning to censor 2,000 years of religious texts?
Yes.

It's not a religion. It's an abusive business disguised as a religion, just like Scientology and Pastapherianism.

But if this school is going to allow reading material to be handed out, I trust they wouldn't mind a voluntary Buddhist guided meditation class after hours.

I like how you left out Scientology ;)

Anyway I'm much more interested in getting Buddhist meditation into the schools since, unlike Christianity which says you're a piece of **** and need to kiss god's ass so he doesn't toss you in a furnace, or satanism which teaches you to be a selfish bastard who ruins the life of anyone who offends you....learning how to control yourself is actually beneficial and doesn't require any faith in any god or demon, doesn't demand your money, nor do you have to swear to believe whatever any book says just because it says it.

Thing is, the net result of all these lawsuits will be religions banned from public schools because religions compete with the state for authority in the minds of youth and public school is the State's turf and chief indoctrination tool. It isn't about the separation of church and state, it's about indoctrination.

true Siddhartha doesn't do anything but show you a path hells or not as there may be in real or maybe unreal life and that are some forms of Buddhism

while their may be Satanists that are all about ruining the lives of others

these satanic temple guys don't seem to be like that in fact I bet they would find a lot of common ground with you the same for the church of the flying spaghetti monster

Actually he prefers to cherry pick out of them and ignore the parts he finds uncomfortable.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

I have no problem censoring the material made available to our children. I think that knowledge is the best solution to prejudice, bullying, abuse, or any type of unacceptable behavior. I have no problem with the bible or most other religious books being made available to our children. What determines whether a book should be banned is not the fact that it is of conflicting religious view. It should be banned because if it teaches unacceptable behavior. The banning or restricting of information or opposing views has always proven to cause more harm than good. Looking at anything from another prospective has proven to be an asset to society not a detriment.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Schools in Orange County, Florida may be reversing course on a contraversial decision. It appears that a few-year old policy of allowing groups to distribute bibles on public school grounds may be coming to an end, now that Satanists want to enjoy the same freedom.

Personally, I applaud the Satanists here. As the saying goes, "freedom of religion means all religions"...or, to be more homespun about it all, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander."

District meets as group wants to pass out Satanic material at... | www.wftv.com

Well if that is their religion then they should spread such material. They are religious just like other religious people.

I am counting on religions cancelling each other out and leaving public schools to neutral science.

I can't help it you don't know what the suffix "ism" means.

On what grounds?

Satanism

Congratulations, you just showed conclusively you stand for what our Constitution does not.

Did it really take you this long to figure out that I stand for good over evil?

Why single out Satanism? Let's just outlaw all religions.

All religions are not equal.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

No, we clearly get it. The above quote spells it out quite precisely. You stand for a religious oligarchy rather than the Constitution.

You suggesting you stand for good over evil is just a red herring designed to make yourself feel better about what you really stand for. It does two things important to religious oligarchs. One, you get to define for others what religion is acceptable and what is not. Two, you get to tell others what their faith should be anyway all within the confines of what you think is good and evil.

My prior point still stands, you represent the worst of faction thinking. Something most of the founders knew way back then would be the end of the Republic.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Satanists are generally atheists trying to make a point about religion. Like putting a statue of Baphomet next to the statue of the Ten Commandments near a courthouse.

Don't all religions try to make a point about religion?
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

I would agree, which is why atheism gets thrown into the mix on what is and is not a religion. In that context all systems of belief are making a point about their systems of belief. No matter if they are minority or majority status.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Under the Constitution, ALL religions are equal.

Which is ridiculous.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Why? And religious freedom?

Because it's centered around the most evil being in existence. They should not enjoy such.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Funny...I've thought of using the bible to paper train dogs. So, I guess we have that in common.
You can use whatever you want.

But, that said, are you for or against allowing Satanists to distribute their materials alongside the Christians on public school grounds?
I thought I said they could distribute it and if I had a kid I'd use it as birdcage lining.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

Which is ridiculous.

Even more evidence you stand for religious oligarchy.
 
Re: Christians vs. Satanists in handig out religious materials on public school groun

What do Satanists do that make them evil, exactly?

They have those evil mustaches. DUH!
