Hail Satan opening prayer at Alaska government meeting prompts walkouts, protest

quote:

Several attendees at a government meeting open to the public in Alaska walked out in protest after an opening prayer praised Satan.

The Associated Press reports the prayer, where a woman declared “Hail Satan,” was given by Satanic Temple member Iris Fontana, who won the right to open the meeting with an invocation of her choice.

“That which will not bend, must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared as demise. It is done, hail Satan,” Fontana said to open the meeting, according to local radio station KSRM

I look at people who claim to worship Satan as desperate to look cool and edgy. That and being so stupid they’ve fooled themselves into believing they’re smart.

Its not the first time it's been done.

quote:

Iris Fontana in 2014 was a psychology Major at Kenai Peninsula College. She started a GoFundMe page and raised money to travel to China on an apparent learning excursion, with major donations from local civic organizations, including orders of the Eagles and Elks.

Assembly President Blaine Gilman, a Republican, had allowed Fontana to offer the Satanic verses. Most members of the Assembly stood respectfully during the statement, while one member is reported to have left the room.

i think the incident you referenced led to litigation that just got resolved, and the incident in OP was basically a victory lap

Satanic Temple doesn’t actually worship Satan or even believe he exists. It’s Atheists who mostly hated their religious upbringing and the type of people that don’t want to fit in with normal Atheists, grown up emo kids. They have a raging boner to troll anyone Christian. The entire fake religion is based on bringing the truth to religious people, well except Muslims, they are scared of them. Using Satan is just a big troll.

I think most of these people don't actually worship Satan. They're just trying to make the point that government and religion should remain separate. Though they can be a-holes about it, I agree with their point. Why not pause for one minute of personal silent prayer/meditation/looking over your notes?

Satanic Temple uses satanic imagery to protest for separation of church and state.

Church of Satan is actually atheistic and closely follows or resembles the beliefs of Ayn Rand.

Neither actually worship Satan

I can go into a public meeting and say there are only two genders and start riots.

It's not exactly difficult to get morons excited. Hell people know I voted for Trump on the poli board, but I could go over there right now and claim he's a dictator and they'd still go into a frenzy. Half the country is looking for something to be upset or outraged about.

A victory lap would do Fontana some good.

She's the epitome of the SJW crowd. She's living off of donations. I imagine any attention for her is money in her pocket.
