    I’ve condemned child abuse in every response to you so far, regardless of which religion does it.

    You’re creating a false dilemma. I’m not in favor of the Christians doing it just because I don’t want the Satanists to do it. They should all leave the kids alone and let the children receive their state-accredited curriculum.

    I’ve met about a dozen Satanists. Nice people, of course, but they’re just not serious. It’s obvious that trolling is the main motivation. If that’s their hobby, fine. But leave the kids out of it.

    If they really cared about protecting kids then they could send resources to the kids parents and invite them to consider their tenets. Otherwise it’s just hypocritical.

      “Hypocritical.”

      Interesting choice of words.

      You’ve met “about a dozen” Satanists. In college? You met 12 or so 19-year old students who called themselves Satanists, and you’ve formed a solid position on the entire philosophy that you’re unwilling to budge from.

      Christians “should” leave the kids alone (Guess what? They don’t.) but you’re primary concern is Satanists. You’re more concerned with the Satanic Temple providing a safe space for kids to learn after school than you are about abusive indoctrination in the same exact school.

      Nice people, of course, but they’re just not serious.

      Here they are actually doing some real good work, and you call them not serious. Jesus fucking christ…

      If they really cared about protecting kids then they could send resources to the kids parents and invite them to consider their tenets.

      They literally fucking do that.

      Hypocritical is you pretending to care about kids, when you’re acting as a shield for abusers and criticizing the very people who are stepping in to protect kids, all the while lamenting that they should do the actual fucking thing that they’re doing.

      “Hypocritical” coming from the biggest hypocrite in this thread.

        Yes. I’ve met several Satanists in person. How else am I supposed to judge them? From angry comments in this thread?

        They might be doing something good but using kids is wrong. That’s where I draw the line.

        I after Christians and Jews and Muslims too, when the opportunity presents itself. But those sort of stories are never going to be posted on Lemmy, obviously.
