Community members in a Tennessee school district want to banish Satan from their children’s halls after the formation of a new club was announced.

The After School Satan Club (ASSC) wants to establish a branch in Chimneyrock elementary school in the Memphis-Shelby county schools (MSCS) district.

It’s so funny seeing Cristians protest against these clubs that they don’t understand, and the best part is they can’t do shit.

Sorry (not sorry), Christians - religious freedom means freedom to practice ALL religions. This is categorically a constitutional matter, and you do not have a legal recourse to halt this (nor should you).

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Which especially funny because it's part of the same religion, just the "other side"

Better than an after-school christian club ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] athos77@kbin.social 17 points 6 months ago

Well, the reason for the after school Satan club was that they had a pre school Christian club.

Breakfast with God, dinner with the Devil!

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

How most Christians naturally react through the day due to coping mechanisms that rely on a being that isn't real and can do nothing for you lol.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, and I'd wager it's better than an after-school christian club.

[-] Moops@lemmy.world 47 points 6 months ago

"Freedom of religion!

... As long as it's ours"

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, it is indeed their religion they are protesting.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 months ago

The whole idea behind it is pretty genius. Metaphorically speaking, the only people that think there's a supernatural devil behind this club is because they want to shove their belief in their Gods into schools. If one must exist in schools then so must the other.

[-] eighthourlunch@kbin.social 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

LOL! Good luck with that. You invited me in. I'm not going anywhere. 😈

[-] BeakersBunsen@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 months ago

Totally read that as Santa and was confused why 1 they made a Santa club and 2 why people were so angry to ban it. Either way bunch of haters and need to be more tolerant like their Jesus was

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 15 points 6 months ago

[-] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

To be fair, in both cases the situation would have been the same: An after-school club with a fictional mascot taken from Christian mythology, protested BY Christians who are ironically the only ones to actually believe that said mascot exists IRL.

Lucifer would be proud.
