Satanic Temple Offers to Hold Invocation at Same School as Football Coach Who Can’t Stop Praying

Via patheos.com by Hemant Mehta

You knew this was coming.

Since Bremerton High School assistant football coach Joe Kennedy can’t stop praying on the field, the Satanic Temple chapter in Seattle is now offering to deliver a post-game invocation at the same school.

Someone just has to request it.

According to a press release from the group:

The Satanic Temple of Seattle invites any staff or student of Bremerton High School to contact them to perform a post­game Satanic invocation Friday, Oct 30th on the Bremerton high school football field.


“Not all students are Christians, and may feel pressured to pray nonetheless when led by a school­-sponsored authority figure, especially a coach. The Satanic Temple is taking steps to ensure that our faith is allowed equal representation at Bremerton High School, as required by law,” said [Satanic Temple of Seattle leader Lilith] Starr.

The Satanic Temple of Seattle will provide clergy to lead a post­game Satanic invocation on the football field for any student or school staff who requests it. “We welcome any Bremerton School District student or staff member who wishes to take advantage of this open religious forum an opportunity to embrace and practice Satanism” said Starr.

Surely there’s a Satanist at the school who think this would at least be entertaining?

Make it happen, America. Just tell them Joe Kennedy sent you.
