"Children in Florida may soon be receiving a fun Satanist coloring book at school. The Satanic Temple is pushing for distribution, submitting the well-made workbook and fact sheets about the faith to the district for approval after Bibles were given out to local schoolkids by a Christian group.

Since the World Changers of Florida handed out the holy books last February (with the intention of changing at least minds, if not worlds), other groups, like atheists and Satanists, have attempted to do the same. The school district's counsel, Woody Rodriguez, told the Orlando Sentinel that Satanist materials would be reviewed in the same manner the atheist ones were. (The Temple happens to be the same publicity-loving group fighting for Satanic monuments in Oklahoma.)"

1. pretty damn funny (in a weird, off-beat, crazy sort of way)

and completely understandable considering bibles were handed out to kids.

the cover & illustrations were very cute/interesting

i would have liked to have seen what the atheists attempted to hand out and if it was distributed like the bibles were

(it's also rather amusing the boy's name is damian & the girl is annabel)

2. Free entertainment.

This group is a laugh a minute. They are cracking me up.

And when the fundy fanatics raise a howl of protest...well, too bad...they opened the door.

I might be tempted to worry that this will go wrong...but it is meant to snap back on the Tali-born-again wanna-be dictators. This should be interesting to watch.

3. The pissed-off teacher is the best part

I hand it to the Satanic Temple: they did a really nice job on this.
