Well if your siblings are very little you are doing the correct thing. As you do not know the satanist well. As you have friends of other religions you know nothing can happen to older people.
After you talk over rules, and conduct with her as you would with a babysitter and trust her, (no religious activities when children are present, etc.) I can see the children playing there being OK.
If you can NOT trust her then no one will probable go to their friends house anymore, but come to your to play.
You are not intolerant you are focused on protecting your family, so please be at peace.

Satanists actually don't worship Satan. I don't know much about the religion, but the "basics" of it, I memory serves are that they worship themselves, or at the very least humankind. I had a roommate once who was looking into Satanism, which didn't disturb me so much as he was just generally weird and acted inappropriately towards me. He showed me their "10 Commandments", which were actually pretty benign. Nothing involved harming other people, but it was basically focusing on pleasure and enjoying your life in a physical sense. Satanists don't believe Satan exists, from what I know, they just call themselves Satanists as a way to symbolize they don't believe in the "spiritual morality" of the Christian God.
I think. Hopefully an actual Satanist will give you a better idea of what they believe.
Blessed be!

Personally I would not let him set foot in that house again. The spritual realm is as real as the physical realm. It is not a matter of intolerance but rather a spiritual battle, is your cousin prepared to fight it? Does he know how? Read the following links from Billy Graham.
Definiton of satanism: The worship of Satan characterized by a travesty of the Christian rites.

Dear Shlane,
Protect your cousins. They shouldn't be hanging out with a family of satanists!
Start studying the bible with your cousins asap. It contains the truth! You can just start reading through the book of John together for a start.
Here are some web sites if you have questions along the way:
Christiananswers.net
and since you mentioned that you are from a Catholic background here is a site that can show you the difference with what the Bible, God's Holy Word says and what the Catholic church teaches.
http://www.reachingcatholics.org/mainpage.html
By all means keep those kids away and teach them the truth of the bible.

Wow, it's not every day you run into a Satanist, at least I don't. But you should be aware that there is more than 1 kind of Satanist. Some Satanists do worship Satan, or some figure closely associated with Satan in some ways. But others do not worship nor even believe in Satan. Laveyan Satanists for example, do not typically believe in Satan. Since she had a "Bible" I would assume it is probably the Satanic Bible by Anton Lavey, in which case, she is of this type of "Satanism" that does not worship, nor believe in Satan as an actual being.
Their beliefs are basically Atheist and they believe in self-empowerment. The name Satanist is mostly for shock effect I think. They do practice some types of magic if I understand correctly. Do a google search for "Church of Satan" and you will find them, and you can read their basic tenets. Then you will be in a better position to decide if you should allow the children to go there or not. That is up to you, but I can say that most of these "Satanists" are not bad just because of that title.

I have friends of different religions too but a person who worships Satan. That's a little much. I think your just taking precaution over them because they are young and easy to influence. It's natural for you to feel that way. You should ask your siblings exactly what they do when they are over there cause you never know.

You made judgements before educating yourself. That is intolerence.
Did you know that many Satanists are Atheists? They don't worship Satan because they don't believe in him.
You being judgemental about it is no different than someone not wanting to be friends with you because you're Catholic. It's all based in fear and ignorance.

Wow, that's a toughie. First, it's up to their parents, not you. I would definitely tell the parents about this woman's religion. Keep in mind, the kids probably won't hear about religion while they play. My sister has a pagan friend, and she's gone to pagan festivals with her. It worried me, because I'm a Christian, but I know she knows right from wrong, and she's slowly separating herself from the girl. Keep praying. It'll work out.

There are different types of Satanists. some claim to worship satan himself and others use him as a "mascott" for their lifestyle of choosing to live for themselves instead of God. This is very dangerous territory. Jesus clearly says that if one is not for him, they are against him. I believe in loving your neighbor and you can do that. this may be a wonderful opportunity to reach out and share the love of God with her. But you and only you are in the mature position to handle opposition to your faith. your cousins should stay away, in my honest opinion. it is not healthy or spiritually safe.
