Satanic Group Responds to Religious Freedom Court Ruling in Perfect Way September 17, 2014 By Allen Clifton

I’ve said it numerous times before, I’m a big believer in the cliché saying “be careful what you wish for.” In my time on this earth I’ve learned plenty of times that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
   Apparently last month in Orange County, Florida, a judge ruled that religious pamphlets could be handed out in a local school district in the area.
   Big “win” for Christians who are constantly trying to interject religion in places it doesn’t belong, right?
Well, not so fast. Because, remember, when you say “religious materials” that means all religions.
Including Satanism.
     It seems the Satanic Temple has decided to get in on this offer to hand out religious materials to school children by making some pamphlets of their own.
   Satanic Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said, “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, as opposed to standing idly by while one religious voice dominates the discourse and delivers propaganda to youth.”
