| Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools ORLANDO, Fla. — A religious group called The Satanic Temple is making plans to hand out literature in Florida's Orange County Public Schools later this school year, following distributions by atheist and evangelical Christian groups. The New York-based Satanist group hopes to use a distribution as a form of protest. "If a public school board is going to allow religious pamphlets and full Bibles to be distributed to students, as is the case in Orange County, Florida, we think the responsible thing to do is to ensure that these students are given access to a variety of differing religious opinions," said temple co-founder and spokesman Lucien Greaves. The district has not received a formal request from the temple, but school officials say they reserve the right to review materials. However, Orange has twice allowed a group called World Changers of Florida to distribute Bibles, and an atheist group gave out materials last year. In both cases, district counsel Woody Rodriguez said the pamphlets and books were being allowed to avoid a lawsuit. The Satanic Temple, a relatively new group that supports social justice causes and believes Satan is the "eternal rebel against the ultimate tyrant," wants to give out materials such as "The Satanic Children's Big Book of Activities." Greaves said the book contains information for students on protecting themselves from corporal punishment at school. The Freedom From Religion Foundation and its local affiliate, the Central Florida Freethought Community, sued Orange schools last year after some of their materials were censored. The case was dismissed earlier this year when the school district agreed to allow all of the materials to be given out. "They have no ability to keep out the Satanists and the literature they want to distribute unless they close the forum altogether," said FFRF attorney Andrew Seidel. Here's a pdf link of the book, http://thesatanictemple.com/wp-conte...ivity_Book.pdf |

| Re: Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools this is what religious moderation gets you. you let Christians spread their literature, that's cool.... but you then have to let everybody else do it.  that will include the Sunni brand of Islam one day....might be a little less funny when that happens (Sunni being the same brand as our friends ISIS practice)  |

| Re: Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools Public school have no religious affiliation. Individuals who attend the school, including students, staff, administration, and caretakers, are free to each have their own religious beliefs. The fanaticism is to be left at the door. |

| Re: Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools I'm no fan of organized religion. Even though I know an extreme amount about the subject. I don't believe in God or Satan per se. Especially not as the religious institutions teach they are. I was a Satanist in my youth at a southeast school in the bible crotch (it's right under the bible belt). I still wonder how I made it through alive. I had to deal with the absolute worst of southern baptist rednecks. I still have the inverted cross I wore in high school. I'm in my 40's now. To this day, yelling out "Hail Satan" just somehow makes me feel better, lol. |

| Re: Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools A clip I made JUST for this thread. Gotta love it. Just do NOT bother watching the new Rosemary's baby. It's a smoking dung pile. The fact that they watered down this scene to the point that it was nothing alone was worth taking away 3 stars out of 5. Said and done, I give the new version 1 star. JUST because they don't have 0 stars. |

| Re: Satanists Want to Give Out Materials in Florida Schools Yep. Nothing is sacred. I hate the majority of remakes. Hollywood just isn't creative anymore. I finish about 1 out of 8 movies that I start. |
