No, and they don't host them, either. That's the rub.
If so and the college won't allow it then the complaints are valid.

If students want to go to a black "mass," that's their business. But get real, people--it's a parody of the Catholic Mass, and one that would not be allowed to take place had it been making fun of anything other than Christians.
Parody is protected speech but the bigger argument does have some validity.
While we're 'getting real', let's realize the currently fashionable act of Christians feigning victimhood where none exists plays a large role in WHY Christians are made fun of.
Now this is just old BS served steaming in a bowl. The poster you responded to was right. If this abomination of a "religious service" were pointed more toward profaning Mohammed, or Buddha, or the Shinto tenates even, it would NOT be allowed. But since it's the antithesis of Christianity, well, go ahead. Your response goes a long way toward lending that weight.
It is quite in vouge to bash on Christianity. I don't see any of your ilk calling Islamic belief out with terms like "mythical sky daddy" , "book of myths", or any of the host of derogatory language in the repotorie. Or Buddhists, or Taoists or Shintos or even these "Satanists" . It's all about the 1a for them, just not Christians.
The anti Christian people have loudly supported Muslims right to bring their rug to school for prayer time, but if a Christian kid wants to pray over his Bible, that's a violation of church and state separation.
Even while in public school, faith can be practiced, just not promoted by the school, unless you're a Christian, in which case practice= promotion. As a Christian, I don't feel victimized, however if I public ally declare my faith to someone, when asked only, will I do that, its often a trap. So ridicule can be passed. This happens with Muslim.s too. But when it does, your side is there, loudly shouting about racism and intolerance. You can't see the contradiction here?

After reading this article, im assuming they mean "Satanist" as in Devil worshipers, not as in people who believe man is god. That means this article makes no sense.
Satanist(atleast organized ones) are more Pro Devil than they are anti god. which makes his anti gay/holocaust argument a shallow misguided attempt at slandering Harvard.

As I said, the currently fashionable feigned victimhood where none exists, thanks for the fine example.
And no, I don't bash on Christianity but I will bash on an organization with a documented history of harboring/protecting pedophiles.

(Sigh) Pointing out the contradictions is "feigning victimhood". OK, I get it now. Wtfe. Your swipe at the Catholic church has merit, however, bear in mind, that Islam does the same and worse. They advocate pedophilia. Or is it because they openly do this that makes it not subject to your ire? That's just part of the culture, so its OK.? Tolerance...and such. Yea? You can jab at me all you like with that victim hood drivel, but you can't hide from your own hypocrisy and single minded dislike of Christianity.
Thanks for the fine example of what I'm talking about. :-) Yes indeed, Islam has brought such wonderful things as arranged child marriage and honor killings to our shores. But the BIG issue is the Diddlers in Catholicism. Who the church does shelter, yes, and they should be hauled out and scourged from our midst. But you're looking past far to much just to see what you want to see. If you were to vent your bile in more than one direction, it would be easier to take you seriously.
