I think all religion is absolutely dumb and superstitious, but I give satanism a pass for the sake of essentially trolling what is considered normal religious standards.

satanic temple doesn't believe in satan anyway, they're solid.

They don't troll. They have a believe system they honestly try to teach that is based on human morals instead of radicalized fiction. It's a genuine attempt to replace theistic religion with a religion of the real human existence.

Pastafarianism on the other hand is designed to troll normal religions.

“I just happened to look in my emails and see the letter from the principal coming through saying that it was coming to Chimneyrock," Kincaid said. "I'm about to come unglued right now.”

I'm trying to picture what this looks like. She's on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum over this, which is hilarious and to be honest really sad. These people need to grow up and get over themselves.

Also, why are only grandparents quoted in this article? Is there not enough conservative millennial rage in Tennessee to meet their quota?

Probably worked to death on two jobs, incoherent when interviewed.

Satanic church probably does more good for humanity then those bible thumpers ever have or will...

Church of Satan is weird, Temple of Satan is 👌

Didn't even know there was a difference

After School Satan Club is an alternative to the evangelical clubs that are in thousands of schools across the United States

This is the way.

Does Christofascists flipping out over equal treatment really qualify as a 'controversy' anymore?
