The After School Satan club is there to troll political Christians who took over the supreme court and several sectors of government. They are probably all atheists.

As I've told these types before. I absolutely love the concept of trolling the church and criticizing their political involvement. But when you go about doing it by actually making these clubs rather than just using it as a hypothetical thought experiment, problems start to break down.

One you are adding to the problem of government run religious groups. You aren't stopping it you are just tossing on another into a broken system.

Two you'll actually get a lot of the super crazy real satanist types that don't get that it's a joke and just wanna be transgressive idiots.

Three, you'll trigger all the super religious crazy types that also don't get it's a joke. I realize entirely that this is the whole point of it, but you are throwing fuel on the fire, don't act surprised when you get burned, or more literally, if you pretend to be Satan in front of a jihadist you are as stupid as someone pretending to be a gazelle in front of a lion. The lion doesn't fucking care if you are really a gazelle or not, you are made of meat all the same.

The thing is even Satan needs religious freedom.

If I start the religious church of columbine murderism does that allow me to start an after school shooting club where we make custom doom maps of the school? Religious exemptions and all that.

Sometimes a troll is just a troll. Though if I'd go ahead and let the satanists have their little club. If they want to publicly out themselves as annoying idiots they do have that right, I think everyone should ignore them, and I'm not going to be mourning heir loss if they get jihaded, but everyone should ignore them.

There are religions around Charles Manson, and Scientology hates Psychiatry. One of my friends is a techno pagan that worships technology and computers. Where Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are evil gods, and Linus Torvalds is a good god.
