In the first day they sent out flyers, the After School Satan Club already has three students signed up for the new year.

Bless the After School Satan (ASS) club 🤣 👹

Edit: such a sweet piece of naming it brings a tear to my eye 🍑🫏💦

Motto: "Come to school for a piece of ASS!"

... I feel bad about writing that.

I'm pretty sure that's the recruiting theme for Christian school teachers.

Satanic church probably does more good for humanity then those bible thumpers ever have or will...

Not gonna bother looking for sources and just agree that what you said is a fact.

It's the Satanic Temple, they do some great stuff.

Then again, my left buttcheek has done more good for humanity that the Bible Trumpers ever will.

Church of Satan is weird, Temple of Satan is 👌

Didn't even know there was a difference

I think all religion is absolutely dumb and superstitious, but I give satanism a pass for the sake of essentially trolling what is considered normal religious standards.

satanic temple doesn't believe in satan anyway, they're solid.

They don't troll. They have a believe system they honestly try to teach that is based on human morals instead of radicalized fiction. It's a genuine attempt to replace theistic religion with a religion of the real human existence.

Pastafarianism on the other hand is designed to troll normal religions.

“I just happened to look in my emails and see the letter from the principal coming through saying that it was coming to Chimneyrock," Kincaid said. "I'm about to come unglued right now.”

I'm trying to picture what this looks like. She's on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum over this, which is hilarious and to be honest really sad. These people need to grow up and get over themselves.

Also, why are only grandparents quoted in this article? Is there not enough conservative millennial rage in Tennessee to meet their quota?

Probably worked to death on two jobs, incoherent when interviewed.

After School Satan Club is an alternative to the evangelical clubs that are in thousands of schools across the United States

This is the way.

ASS... All the cool kids are doing it.

What's oniony about this?

I mean, "after school Satan club" definitely sounds like something the Onion would come up with to make fun of the satanic panic Christian types.

That's fair. I've been following them for a while, so it doesn't seem strange to me, but I can see what you mean.
