Tennessee after-school Satan club holds first meeting despite protests
Club flyer says Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religion and does ‘not attempt to convert children to any religious ideology’
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yes. Please answer me this hypothetical. Why do we prohibit young kids from viewing porn?
The Satanists shouldn't be allowed to preach to kids just like the Jews and Muslims and Christians shouldn't be allowed to. The kids aren't mature enough to understand the issues at hand, just like they can't understand the repercussions of sex.
Sorry, you want to prohibit children from learning about Satanism on the internet?
How would you even go about doing such a thing?
Also, how do you stop someone from preaching to kids?
And I understood sex when my mother told me about it when I was five.
There are ways of protecting kids from the chaotic influence of the internet. Most states prohibit minors from viewing porn and they're developing more effective ways to enforce it. Similarly, some states are prohibiting kids from using Instagram until they're 13.
In New Zealand they've made it illegal to preach religion to kids. I don't know exactly the the method but I've seen firsthand that it's possible.
You're talking about prohibiting specific sites but you're proposing blocking specific Wikipedia pages. That's ludicrous.
In New Zealand they’ve made it illegal to preach religion to kids.
Not as far as I can tell from my Googling.
I lived there for seven years. I've seen and heard it directly.
Fine, show me the law.
I won't be able to find the exact ordinance and I don't really care enough to search for it. I've heard from reliable sources and I witnessed firsthand that missionaries in New Zealand are not allowed to talk to kids. There are lots of missionaries, especially Mormons, so the rule is widely known.
"Missionaries are not allowed to talk to kids" is not the same as "preaching to kids is illegal." And the fact that you won't even look it up and are doing the "trust me, bro" thing makes me doubt even that is true.
Because, again, I looked and found nothing.
Oh, I've figured out how to reply. I'm using Eternity for Lemmy and it has a few bugs.
I simply won't be able to find the exact ordinance. You can believe me or not. I won't lose sleep over it.
Are you in favor of religious organizations targeting children under the age of 16?
What do you consider an organization and how do you mean targeting?
