SOUTH AFRICANS DEMAND SHUT DOWN OF THE SATANIC "CHURCH" . WHY NOT SIGN THE PETITION?

OUTRAGE IS SWEEPING SOUTH AFRICA IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWSBREAK THAT SATANIC "CHURCH" IN SOUTH AFRICA HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY REGISTERED IN THE COUNTRY; ALLEGED NEWS. [1]  

Satanic "church" is the first of its kind in Africa, Alleged News. [1] Petitions calling for the satanic "church" in South Africa to be shut down are gaining momentum. [2] and [3] and [4]

Petitions have been launched, such as those reportedly by GTM Mutani, Alleged News [2], Sfiso Mbatha, Alleged News [3], and Thando Gawe [4], Alleged News.

Sfiso Mbatha said allowing the church to exist means South Africans are accepting "evil as something that is good for our society when in fact it is not," Alleged News. [3]   Mbatha added that future generations should not be exposed to the legacy and teachings of the church, Alleged News. [3]

Among the signatories to Mbatha's petition is Sallianne Greenfield, who said, "As a believer in Christ, I cannot begin to think of the harm this satanic [church] can do," Alleged News. [3]  Maria Sebole wrote, "I am signing because the satanic church is not good for society," Alleged News. [3]  Smanga Kubheka commented that the church "poses a threat  to society", and that "our kids and community are in danger if we let them continue in our country," Alleged News. [3] Many have criticized the country's first satanic "church" on social media, Alleged News. [3]

satanic "church" in South Africa
The mission of satanic "church" is allegedly to educate the public about the satanic religious board, Alleged News. [1]  The "church" of satan or the satanic "church" was officially registered in South Africa in February of this year, Alleged News. [1] Satanic "church" in South Africa was co-founded by Riaan Swiegelaar in South Africa, who said the registration had been a four-year registration process which had finally sailed through, Alleged News. [1] The second co-founder of the South African satanic "church" is Adri Norton, Alleged News. [5] According to Swiegelaar, satanic "church" has a council comprising seven people dedicated to representing satanism in South Africa; Alleged News. [1] 

Shockwaves
Johanneke Kroesbergen-Kamps, post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Pretoria's faculty of theology and religion, wrote that when the registration of the first satanic "church" in SA became public, it sent shock-waves of indignation throughout societal media; Alleged News. [6] Kroesbergen-Kamps wrote, "On the one hand, there are self-declared satanists, like the members of the South African satanic church, who practise a new religious movement - satanism for them is a positive word that represents their individualism. You might disagree with the individualism and non-conformism of the South Africa satanic church, but these individuals are not evil, child-sacrificing devil-worshippers," Alleged News. [6] 

The word on the street is that South Africans are not viewing the South African satanic "church" as an individualistic movement, but rather according to the statements which appear on their website such as: "hail satan," [5] "satan speaks," [5] "satan to us is a symbol of pride, freedom and individualism, and it serves as a projection of our highest potential," [5] 

satanic website
The following statement appears on the website of the South African satanic "church": "We do NOT worship the "devil", but simply revere satan as an archetype for our true nature." [5]
 
Nine satanic statements from the satanic "bible" by Anton LaVey are quoted, inclusive of the following:
"satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek", "satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those who walk on all-fours, who, because of his 'define spiritual and intellectual development' has become the most vicious animal of all!"  
"satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!"  Alleged News. [5]

Word on the street is that South Africans generally consider the following of satanic "bible" precepts as implication of acceptance of the satanic entity tenets, resultant in the maxim that whoever follows the precepts follows the master.
