Satanic Temple calls out Texas school district’s policy of beating kids – DeadState

I bet all, if not the majority, of school board members and other educators who support corporeal punishment in schools are Christians.

Satanic Temple calls out Texas school district’s policy of beating kids – DeadState
…[Satanic] Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves says that school administrators who think hitting kids is okay need to be replaced, and that sentiment was reflected in a billboard put up by the Temple in Three Rivers.

The billboard reads: “Our Religion Doesn’t Believe in Hitting Children.” 
“Hopefully, our billboard will give pause to passersby who will be forced to confront the fact that the school district is being operated by depraved and ignorant sadists who have no business being in education,” Greaves said, according to Patheos. “The billboard should be a wakeup call that the school district trustees, who voted 6 – 0 for corporal punishment, need to be replaced by competent and humane members of the community who have children’s best interests at heart.”

The Israelis aren't putting up with any damn clown nonsense:

Israeli Police Put Clowns on Notice | Coast to Coast AM: Following a series of creepy clown sightings in Israel, authorities there have issued a stern statement vowing to put a stop to any further funny business from the harlequins.

In an official release on their Facebook page, the Israeli police force put the Pennywise imposters on notice, promising that any creepy clowns caught menacing citizens would "encounter strict and uncompromising police enforcement."

According to the posting from police, cops throughout Israel have already taken numerous teens into custody after they were found dressing up as clowns and scaring unsuspecting individuals.

The message goes on to implore parents to keep a close eye on their children, lest they fall in with the wrong crowd and wind up also becoming a creepy clown.

Elderly Catholic woman has mistakenly been praying every day to Elrond from ‘Lord of the Rings’ – DeadState

Elderly Catholic woman has mistakenly been praying every day to Elrond from ‘Lord of the Rings’ – DeadState.



A grandmother in Brazil has been praying to a statue of Elrond, the elf from Lord of the Rings, and not St. Anthony, as she had thought.


St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost items, among other things:

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms.  Many people give alms to St. Anthony Bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony. St. Anthony of Padua’s life is what every Christian’s life is meant to be; a steady courage to face the ups and downs of life, the call to love and forgive, to be concerned for the needs of others, to deal with crisis great and small, and to have our feet solidly on the ground of total trusting love and dependence on God.
