I don't think one has to be a narrow minded bigot to think "a satanic
t-shirt" would be a bad thing.

For one thing, for all the Christians make noise about Satan, he only exists
within the framework of THEIR RELIGION. For non Christians there is no such
thing as Satan. For agnostics or atheists there is no such thing as Satan.
For Buddhists, Hindus, no. (Although Hindus have some war-involved deities,
but not one boogie man who takes little children and ruins their lives, or
who tries to keep people from God.)

Satan is part and parcel of Christianity.

So I guess if there are "satanic t-shirts" what they exist to do is to piss
off Christian parents.

I personally knew a boy who was involved in a satanic group. I tried
to witness to him but he didn't convert. ;) My point is that there
really are people out there who worship satan.

I think there are teenagers who go through a "let's be freaky" phase and do
outrageous things.

And fortunately the Constitution guarantees them that right evem if
in real life they might be hounded for their beliefs.
Most Satanists I have met are in the Temple of Set (robes and very
middle class) or The Chrch of Lucifer (bit odder but nothing to worry
about).
I've met a few of the balck robes n dead chickens lot too. They
seem to fall into two camps. Those who are serious about their
path and those who think dressing up in black and sacrficing
chickens is 'cool'
A fair few teens go for the second lot. It tends to wear off.

Well, I won't disagree with you there!
