Please don’t glorify criminals just because they’re old.

Priests, teachers, coaches. It’s like no one wants to have a confrontation so just pass them on to be someone else’s problem? Call the damn police. These kids are so vulnerable.  

“The victims of these men were teenagers or preteens, the youngest of which was six, and almost all of them were girls. “

These coaches are monsters, and I can’t believe that USA Gymnastics is so criminally undersupervised and unmonitored.

(also: Kinja, darnit, just let me block quote. I quit.)

Recline away. That bump you feel in the middle of your back? That’s my knees. No, I don’t plan on moving them. Enjoy.

Though I admittedly don’t know all the details, it seems the judicial community is letting them get away with it. the law enforcement community keeps arresting them.

it’s not racist to say it, it’s just how it is among those communities

It looks like they’ve put some real thought into the club’s activities. If I had a kid who was interested I’d send him or her. And I’m a Sunday school teacher and my church’s treasurer.

If the only reason the Satan club exists is to point out the hypocrisy of Christian religious organizations and expose students to independent and critical thinking, that’s reason enough. I’ll go to your meeting, Satan people.

“None of that, if you read it closely or even not very closely, poses any legitimate argument as to why After School Satan shouldn’t exist.”

He's not reading it at all. Reading the bible is one of the surest ways to become an atheist.

"Harlots are not listed on your sign, therefore, you have to serve me."

*Uh...what are you doing?

It reminds me of that state senator (one of the Carolina's, maybe?) who proposed an amendment to an abortion law. The law was that any woman seeking an abortion had to get a transvaginal ultrasound. So she added the amendment that any man seeking a Viagra prescription had to get a colonoscopy.

This is what I will never understand about the US. How can it be someone's right to limit someone else's right?

It's delicious that Christians who scream about freedom of religion are the ones getting burned by the very same screed they cling to.

"Nobody holds a monopoly upon the season's celebratory spirit, and we hope that our display, among the various others, will contribute to a general and growing understanding of plurality. If there is fun to be had, we'll have it — and we wish the same for all, regardless of religious affiliation, or lack thereof."

This…

"Grossly offensive"? And a man covered in bloody lashing wounds, nailed to a wooden cross through his palms and feet with a crown of thorns embedded in his scalp isn't?

Yep, the third-grader's diorama aesthetic adds another heaping dose of irreverence.

Of course the Satanic Temple had an army of lawyers helping them. What other religion would they support?
