Documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) fast-tracked tax-exempt status for an “After School Satan Club” in Tacoma, Washington, while the federal agency was discovered to be either denying conservative and Christian groups the same status or making them wait for years.

According to the watchdog group that uncovered the IRS scandal during the Obama administration, the After School Satan Club at Point Defiance Elementary in Tacoma applied for its tax-exempt status designation on October 21, 2014 and received it only 10 days later on October 31, 2014.

Breitbart News reported in October of 2016 the announcement by the Satanic Temple of Seattle for its proposal of the After School Satan Club in the Point Defiance Elementary school.

“After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry, rationalism, science, and character building,” the temple’s website says, and continues:

All After School Satan Clubs are based upon a uniform syllabus that emphasizes a scientific, rationalist, non-superstitious world view.

While the twisted Evangelical teachings of The Good News Clubs “robs children of the innocence and enjoyment of childhood, replacing them with a negative self image, preoccupation with sin, fear of Hell, and aversion to critical thinking,” After School Satan Clubs incorporate games, projects, and thinking exercises that help children understand how we know what we know about our world and our universe.

Judicial Watch reports Reason Alliance, based in Somerville, Massachusetts, operates as the Satanic Temple of Seattle with Lilith X. Starr as the director.

The group’s documents show the parent permission form used for children to join the club “asks for the name of the child’s church and pastor.” Records also indicate that Starr told Carla Santorno, superintendent of the Tacoma school district, that After School Satan Clubs are led by “caring Satanists.”

 In October of 2015, the Obama Department of Justice announced that Lois Lerner and other IRS officials involved in the targeting of conservative groups’ tax-exempt applications would not have criminal charges filed against them.
 “Our investigation uncovered substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia, leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints,” Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Peter J. Kadzik wrote in a letter to House Judiciary officials.

“But poor management is not a crime,” Kadzik continued. “We found no evidence that any IRS official acted on political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution.”

I'm not a modern Christian and I don't condemn anyone.
Whatever else you think comes from the diseased liberal
mind which is as worthless as your wishful thinking.
 
Get a grip boy, you ain't all dat.

you may not condemn anyone, but you sure do make it a point to call them 'worthless and disease', but certainly not condemned.

this would be so funny , if it weren't so sad.

conservatives are so scared of liberals, they'll willfully ignore facts to farther their agenda. they've been living in that bubble for so long, they can't see out of it.

The way liberals scare me is this, hellery wanted and would allow
as many muslims into America as she could get away with including
any and all other dead weight that barack invited from the whole of
central America. The reason BHO is so popular with liberal/socialist
is they are too stupid to see the repercussions following insane moves
from the Alinsky radical playbook. That's why I know liberalism is
a mental disease, and you certainly own that disorder.  

I am a Christian and neither modern or old but rather just a person who is imperfect and the same, no better or worse, than anyone else.  I have though put my faith in Christ blood sacrifice that His shed blood will be a sufficient (to God) sacrifice for whatever sins I have committed and imperfections that I have. 

With that said no Christian, myself included, needs to or is commanded to, stand in judgment of any other person.  I am very concerned and bothered when I see persons who claim Christ name pronouncing judgment upon others for all of us are just as flawed as anyone else.  We (Christians) are to be in judgment of ourselves and our motives and to attempt to become Christ like in our lives. 

I would though, as a Christian and from observations that I have made, like to suggest that many non-Christians do exactly the same thing they accuse Christians of doing and that is stand in judgment of others, specifically Christians.  They make general judgments upon all Christians based upon the actions of a few Christians.   I'm not trying to say that there aren't other Christians whose actions are judgmental or offensive but I'm also not saying that all those who call themselves Christians are or even are doing what they are instructed (by Scriptures) to do. 

As a Christian we are encouraged to live lives that should be an example of Christ to the world around us and to be ready to give account of ourselves if and when ask.  There are cases, in scripture, where specific Christians are specifically directed by God's Holy Spirit, to say a word to someone or to do something but I do not know of anyone that has been led or directed to stand in condemnation of another person.  It is God only who is to Judge through Christ who also provided the shed blood sacrifice to cover our sins. 

There are many though who, unfortunately, put a lot of faith in what they are told by a teacher or minister without confirming it or verifying it through the Scriptures and thus you have a situation where there are those who condemn others.  Scriptures are very plain in revealing that conviction of sin, that is revealing of one's sins is the ministry of God's Holy Spirit and while I'm not denying that there are people, under Christ name, who openly condemn others I request that people do not allow this to become a block or hindrance between them and what God may be wanting to say/reveal unto them.  It is for each individual to be open to God and if we allow someone, a human, to come in between God and ourselves then that is a decision we make.  I fully believe that just as Satan is alive and well that God is also alive and well but don't look for God in some physical body, some white haired man setting on a cloud but rather God is Spirit, God is beyond human comprehension yet God does reach out to us through the ministry of His Holy Spirit which reaches out to mankind in a very personal and profound way.  God also came down, from a Spiritual realm in flesh to the physical realm to reveal Himself unto mankind, in the flesh, in a very personal way and that was in the man, the flesh, Christ over 2000 years ago.  It is for us to decide, for each of us, what we are to do with this and whether we accept/believe it or not.   At least that is my personal opinion regarding this matter.
