Every 12 minutes another person commits suicide in the United States. That’s heartbreaking! Find out what you can do to help save a life!
With so many people talking about the recent suicide of Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, now is the time to talk about what we can do to solve the problem. The second leading death among young people is suicide.

Due to the Equal Access Act, the Satanic Temple plans to open satan clubs at elementary schools in our nation this fall. Well, I’ve got the perfect plan.
When news broke that satan clubs were coming to elementary schools this fall across our beloved nation, I had to reread the headlines. Is this the same country I grew up in as a child?

Our very children’s lives are at stake. Their tag line on their website states, “Educatin’ with Satan.” HELL NO (pun intended), is my response.
