Students, teachers invite Satanists to football game to protest praying coach

[Theowl32]

The Satanic Temple of Seattle was invited to protest coach Joe Kennedy’s controversial ritual of praying on the 50-yard line after games.

bout a dozen members of the Satanic Temple of Seattle, most dressed in hooded black robes and some masked, left Bremerton High School shortly after their arrival at a varsity-football game Thursday night. They came in response to the controversy surrounding coach Joe Kennedy, who was placed on leave this week for praying on the field after games but attended the game in the stands.

Students swarmed the fence where the Satanists stood outside. The group climbed the fence, shook it, held up crosses, threw liquid, and chanted “Jesus.” Some yelled at the Satanists to go away.


A few of the half-dozen students and teachers who invited the Satanists to attend the game in the spirit of free expression were allowed outside the fence, where they spoke with members of the atheist and agnostic group and thanked them for coming.

Temple spokeswoman Lilith Starr said the group was invited to protest Kennedy’s ritual of kneeling on the 50-yard line after games and praying. “We want equality for everyone,” she said. “If one group is allowed to pray, everyone should be.”

So..................it's okay for Christians from the Westboro Baptist Church to protest military funerals "because God hates gays", yet it's not okay for others to express their views?

It's okay for a bunch of Christians to go protest Planned Parenthood and chant, but people with different beliefs can't go to a game and chant?

Free speech works both ways dude.

Where the fuck did I say anything about westboro you fucking piece of shit.

I get it. Praying for players health is as offensive as satanists in your pathetic hippy fucking left wing fucked up world.

Fuck you.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Actually, if the coach is allowed to display his faith for all to see at the game, why can't others express their views as well?

I always thought the footba prayer was inappropriate in my public school high school . And I had come from a catholic school!

 

[Arianrhod]

Is this a warm-up for the annual drama around "The War on Christmas"?

70% of Americans identify as Christian. You're not being persecuted just because you say you are.

If you want an experience of genuine persecution, q.v. North Korea.

There's nothing offensive about it if your faith is strong and can't be shook just because you saw some people in black robes and horns.

However..................if it's not, you have to be outraged about it, because those sneaky Satanists might end up taking you away and converting you to their cult.

I guess conservatives have to have something to be scared of. Me? I prefer to not walk around in constant fear.

It's funny how the OP's thread is blowing up in his face.

It appears the Satanists were good luck as the team won 27-20 in the last minute of the game.

The name came from a French WWI fighting battalion so it's appropriate.
As for the thread, why should people make trouble when a citizen exercises one of the most fundamental rights in this country? A right that was a foundation for independence. Should the KKK mount similar protests during black history month? After all, it's a matter of expression, right?
Trouble-making lefties at it again, taking their own freedoms for granted. One of these days they'll wise up. Probably when a right they consider as sacred is taken from them.

"Making trouble" is one of the most fundamental rights in this country - in fact, a foundation of our independence.

But even without that - explain to me how going to a football game is "making trouble".
