Satanic School Sword Slaying

This is a story which has seen plenty of media attention in recent months, particularly here in South Africa, which happens to be where we (the CoSS) are from. I don't want to duplicate what's already been covered elsewhere, so if you don't know about what happened read about it here.

The attack created a new wave of satanic hysteria in SA, where fear of satanism & witchcraft has long beared heavily on the collective psyche. This extended to things like politicians suggesting taking 'Reaper' off the air. It is both funny & sad that people would have this sort of reaction.

The perpetrator of the attack was clearly mentally disturbed and to believe that satanic forces were behind it is asinine.

The CoSS does not believe in the existence of Satan as an actual entity, so we do not believe that people can be influenced by Satan as such. We believe that society & ultimately the individuals themselves are responsible for people's actions & encourage others to work for the betterment of our planet & its people.
