All Beliefs Are Not Equal
Accepting After-School Satan Clubs Is Cultural Suicide and Child Abuse of the Worst Kind
John Horvat II with The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Prosperity writes:
Parents across America are alarmed over the Satanic Temple (TST)’s efforts to create after-school clubs in elementary schools. The threat has ignited outrage at school board meetings as many parents voice their opposition to opening the door to Satan to their children.
The results of these meetings are mixed. Many boards respect the wishes of the majority and forbid these clubs from their schools. Others cave into the pressure and give Satan a foothold.
One reason Christians lose the vote is that they let the Satanists frame the debate with false liberal premises. Satan can be more easily defeated if Christians reject these premises.
All Beliefs Are Not Equal
Accepting Satan is a logical and extreme consequence of liberalism’s refusal to make value judgments. Liberalism holds that all opinions must be free to develop as long as no one is harmed. Under such a distorted vision, all beliefs are equal, and the State must remain neutral whether allowing or disallowing them. When a platform like an after-school club location is available for some opinions, it must be allowed for all.
Thus, the liberal premise is that Christianity and Satanism, Christ and Satan, are morally equivalent. Followers of each have the right to expression and access to impressionable young minds since there is no physical harm. In a secular liberal society, the premise is that religion is a purely private matter each adult determines based on his feelings and personal choice.
