Despite Protests, After School Satan Clubs Proliferate

Despite growing controversy and parental outrage, chapters of the so-called “After School Satan Club” promoting lawlessness and evil to children are proliferating in government schools across America. Already, clubs are operating in various states and districts, and the Satanic Temple, which oversees them, is working to expand them nationwide wherever Christian children gather.

Scandal surrounding the clubs surfaced most recently in Chesapeake, Virginia, where school board members are considering whether to approve an After School Satan Club (ASSC) in light of “safety concerns.” The original sponsor of the club at B.M. Williams Primary School decided to withdraw, so the satanists had to go back to the drawing board and find a new one.

Club promoters say they do not worship Satan and merely want to focus on science, games and art with the children while promoting intellectual development. However, community members have expressed overwhelming opposition to the club during school board meetings. “Do not allow this club to take place, for Satan is a liar and the father of all lies,” a local resident was quoted as saying in media reports.

The diabolical clubs honoring the “Father of Lies” and the “Prince of Demons,” a ministry of the Satanic Temple that recruits young people into the openly anti-Christ movement, represent the next step in the rapid falling away from God of Americans. But it should not be surprising, as the Bible repeatedly refers to Satan as the “god” or the “prince” of this world due to the influence he holds over so many people.

“Obviously we don’t view Satan as evil, and it really doesn’t matter to us what your mythology is surrounding Satan,” movement co-founder Lucian Greaves said on Fox News recently about the clubs. “You need to ask yourself if your distaste over us identifying as Satanists is strong enough that you would abandon the principles of free speech and religious liberty.”… (Excerpt from The New American)
