'After School Satan Club' in B.M. Williams Primary School in Chesapeake Ignites Issues

According to recent reports in News Nation Now, The Satanic Temple (TST) has launched a new club, the "After School Satan Club", which is said and defended as unrelated to Biblical Satan. The organization says Satan is a literary figure representing "rejecting tyranny over the human mind and spirit." Despite its name, the TST does not worship Satan or believe that Satan exists.

The religious organization is famous for advocating empathy, rejecting tyrannical authority, opposing injustice, and promoting common sense. The group has made several court challenges to laws that often protect or promote Christianity, especially those put forward by conservatives.

Jonathan Morris, a theologian and Fox News contributor spoke on the show "Varney & Co." about the human desire to explore spiritual matters, including the darker side. He cautioned that delving too far into the dark side can have negative consequences.

Morris was reacting to the formation of a Satan club, which he believes is a way to identify individuals interested in the darker aspects of spirituality. He suggested that those drawn to such clubs are likely disturbed and fascinated by darkness. Morris then emphasized the existence of goodness and light, stating that where there is darkness, there must also be light.According to a shared article in MSN, Jonathan Morris shared a spiritual message of sacrifice on Ash Wednesday, a holy day when the Catholic community begins the season of Lent. Morris highlighted the significance of Lent as an opportunity not only to give something up but also to consider what one can do for the good of others.

He emphasized the importance of self-reflection, asking himself, "what am I not doing that I should do?" While Lent is a time of sacrifice, Morris noted that it is also a time to consider how to serve one's family, friends, and those in need.

This incident occurred after the community was divided over the After School Satan Club, with some parents objecting to its formation.
