Florida Town Must Decide: Allow Satanic Prayer or Violate Supreme Court

Posted by | May 12, 2014 16:14 | Filed under: Politics Religion Top Stories


The Supreme Court decided recently that prayer is permitted before town council meetings in a case out of Greece, NY. But that means any religion, not just the Christian religion.

Well, a Florida man has decided to exercise this right the Supreme Court has given towns across the United States by asking the town of Deerfield Beach, Florida to open their meetings with a Satanic prayer. Wait, that’s not what conservatives meant when they said “religious freedom”?

Chaz Stevens, who is known for forcing Florida to erect an 8-foot-tall Festivus pole made of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans next to the town’s nativity scene, has essentially put the town in the precarious position of either allowing a satanic prayer to be said before one of the town’s meetings or violating the Supreme Court’s ruling pertaining to this issue.

Stevens said, “I just want equal billing. We allow various religious nutjobs to give a prayer. They pray to Jesus who is make-believe, god who is make-believe, why not Satan who is make-believe?”

      No – the religious right want to transform the USA into a christian theocracy. We all know how well countries do with a theocratic controlling body. The religious right will also get their wish when this happens because then it will be much safer since everyone will have unfettered access to arms, just like so many other countries run be religious loons.
      Of course, as with any theocracy, there will be little consensus as to the interpretation of their holy texts and traditions.
