Satanic Temple puts up display at Michigan Capital

The Detroit chapter of the Satanic Temple set up its "Snaketivity Scene" featuring a snake offering a book called "Revolt of the Angels" as a gift. The snake is wrapped around the Satanic cross on the 3-feet-by-3-feet display. Capitol rules require that displays have to be taken down each night.
quote:
Satanic Temple spokeswoman Jex Blackmore said her group doesn't worship Satan but does promote individuality, compassion and views that differ from Christian and conservative beliefs.
Blackmore said that the "holiday season is a time of year that is celebrated in many different ways."
"Having our government endorse one singular viewpoint or method of celebrating the season is problematic when we have a diverse community of people in Michigan," she said.

To make a point. The best part of the story:
quote:
Martin Diller, a 28-year-old who served two tours in Iraq with the Michigan National Guard and one in Afghanistan, visited the Capitol grounds after attending Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in East Lansing. He said he wanted to see how the constitutional rights issue played itself out.
"A few of my friends in the military, we like to see the First Amendment in use," Diller said. "We all went overseas, we fought for it, it's kind of interesting to see it in action."

That free speech can be used in a stupid, or even in a defiling manner. Interesting accomplishment.
I guess I could stand on the corner next to an elementary school and read pornographic material over a loudspeaker.

church of satan = athetsts, which is what this is about
satanic worship, as in the occult, essentially does not exist (and if you throw out crazy people who claim to speak to satan, it doesn't exist)

It's a beautiful statue. Someone put a lot of love into that thing.

Ms. Blackmore likes and needs attention.

Modern Satanism (LeVeyan Satanism, or the Church of Satan) neither worships nor even believes in the existence of Satan, or God for that matter.
quote:
Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshiped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrifice.
-- Peter H. Gilmore, current high priest of the Church of Satan

Why do all of these people have badly cared for hair?
Is she not down for the cause if she sports a nice pony tail? Why must her hair look like she just lost a chicken fight?
Does rule number one in the feaux rebellious millenial rule book state that one must not give a shite about their hair in order to be down with the cause?

I know way more than you about Satan, though. He's not that bad. He realized God was a hypocrite, and split off because he knew the "man" thing was destined to fail. Why do you hate freedom, and having choices?

quote:Lucifer doesn't judge you for being human; he understands human nature.
He's not that bad.
He takes blame for God's mistakes and makes God look good.
He accepts everyone into hell; no prejudice for religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
If God's all powerful, why is Lucifer still here?
Lucifer isn't the one who created Bieber.
He saw naked thought-slaves in the garden of Eden and taught them critical thinking.
He saw a man starving in the desert and offered him food for 40 days.
Foiled God's plan, that you would live your entire life in complete ignorance, with a single conversation.
He didn't write a book exposing God's atrocities... God did.
He didn't create a world full of evils and put you in it. He told the guy that did to frick off.
He accepts God's unwanted children unconditionally.
Lucifer was kicked out of heaven by God and is now seen as the world's greatest evil, but you don't see Lucifer having millions slaughtered in his name, do you?
This Bud is for you, Satan.

Yes and she enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons in her parents basement where she lives.
