I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

A Florida school board paused a plan for a chaplain program after receiving First Amendment concerns — and interest from The Satanic Temple.

Fast-forward nearly four months, and the school board voted 3-2 to take the policy out [...] "I need more time to make a decision," said Heather Kahoun, the board chair. "I haven't had an opportunity to think about these things, to think about the implications regarding the First Amendment, regarding federal litigation that we could receive if we were to approve this as it is today."

Someone this stupid shouldn't be on the school board. All of these issues were raised during the initial fight over the bill, it's for months since the bill was signed, and now she suddenly needs more time to think though the implications? Idiot.

Or she's lying because she can't say, "only Christian ministers are allowed"

“And we were hoping no one would figure out the loophole”

Especially not an organization that was specifically created to exploit those religious loopholes. Who could've seen that coming?

Or trying to work out another way to only allow Christian ministry

“It’s super fucking important that I make everyone else believe what I tell people I believe, by any means necessary, for no apparent reason.” - these asshats I guess

She's not stupid, she's backpedaling because she didn't think the Satanists would actually roll out.

The thing about Christians is that they're so certain they're right, it never occurs to them that some people don't believe as they do. Hell, look how some of them view atheists. We really do believe in capital G God, we're just in rebellion.

They're literally unable to comprehend the idea of "no god", unable to comprehend that any right-minded person would be offended by religion in schools. Notice how they have to enter a purpose-built echo chamber every Sunday to keep their faith shored up?

Aren't they elected? Voters are so freaking stupid.
