As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a giant trolling organization and they shouldn’t exploit minors just to make a point.
Children shouldn’t have enrichment in their lives if it’s also part of an effort to ensure their right to future enrichment after they become adults? Because that’s the whole point of TST and ASSC.
Interesting. I didn’t find that mission statement anywhere on their website. It’s definitely not the point of TST.
Please read their website and tell me that it’s not just trolling.
In all honesty, I’m glad that they’ve promoted religious liberty in their own way. I just think that kids shouldn’t be cannon fodder for theirs or any other religion’s mission.
I’m a member of both the national and my local congregations of TST. It’s not just trolling. While the theatrics are 100% for show and to rile up the conservative Right, the ASSC is 100% in line with our fundamental tenets, specifically tenets 1, 3, and 5. Providing children with educational, non-superstitious after-school activities in a safe environment is a legitimate practice of our held beliefs.
OK. It’s some trolling. I guess we each have to judge the degree.
Pretty clear to me, then, that they’re just using the kids for publicity. That makes them no different from the born-again Christians who use kids for whatever purpose they’re after.
They’re helping protect kids from organizations that harm them, and you’re calling them no different simply because their work involves kids.
Tell me, how do they help kids without involving kids???
You know nothing about the Satanic Temple, you’ve just made snap judgments based on your woefully insufficient exposure to a handful of people. You didn’t read their website or mission statement before incorrectly assuming what they do.
You accuse people who are actually doing something to help of trolling, while you yourself sit here and criticize them while demonstrating total ignorance about what they do and who they are. All the while you’re acting as a shield defending the actual child abusers.
This is the most intellectually dishonest take I have seen in this sub. You should be ashamed. You need to go study up on what you’re talking about before digging deeper into your own misinformed prejudices.
How do you help kids without involving kids? Easy. Help the parents or guardians. It’s not up to a religious organization to decide what is good for someone else’s kids. I think that both the Satanists and the Christians should be banned from targeting children under the age of 16.

You are so dishonest, dude.
They’re helping protect kids from organizations that harm them, and you’re calling them no different simply because their work involves kids.

I absolutely agree that it’s necessary. The Satanists have my support, at least passively.
It’s not necessary, nor is it ethical, to use kids for that purpose.
