City Council Meeting Gets Heated After Satanic Temple Representative Gives Invocation

A representative of the satanic temple gave the invocation at a city council meeting, and many in attendance showed up in protest.

[@HBDuncan1]

What our forefathers meant by separation was not supposed to be a political weapon- they meant for the state not to dictate to the church on how to live, pray & freedom to worship ! They didn’t mean that believers faith should be separated totally from our daily living or activities whether in work , laws or education! It has been perverted to make people think religion should be separated from daily lives other than church ! The mission field is wherever we the people are and is not found in just a building ! The American Revolution spurred that fight against the British who attempted to dictate to the church & free men & wanting the colonists to go back to what many left behind (Royals) which was creating separation, tyranny & denying freedoms ! They separated us by their oppression & even censorship! Many left to gain freedoms & escape oppression. We were founded on Judeo/Christian principles - not satanism! Although they did exist ever since the time of Christ & before since the fall . Satan comes to rob , kill , steal & destroy!

[@brotherbruns2989]

@@HBDuncan1, I do fear you’ve misunderstood my comment. Approach the concept of equal using the old fashioned scales, like that of Blind Lady Justice. Equality is an act of balance - since there’s nothing left to objectively and fairly complain about, the goal post has moved to equity which is an opposite of equality….which creates inequality - a Hegelian Dialectic. The more you buy into the narratives and keep fighting, the more they have you enslaved for their profit.

[@WorshipInTruth]

That was about the separation of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT from any single Church, in Europe they had "State Churches", the point was merely to not have a "State Church", the intention was never to divorce government from religion or Christianity itself. People nowadays do not seem to understand this..... and it is freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. Further, none of that was meant to apply to "Satanists", the very idea of an open "Satanist" would have been unheard of at that time, and anybody prancing around claiming to worship the devil probably would have found himself hung by the State or local authorities.

Stephen Prothero, chair of the Department of Religion at Boston University, discussed the issue of religious illiteracy in the United States. The author of Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know - And Doesn’t, Prothero says the United States is one of the most religious countries on earth, but Americans know nothing about religion - their own or the religions of others. He asks: How can we engage a politician who is rightly or wrongly invoking the Bible or using religion for political purposes without knowing something about religion ourselves, as citizens, journalists and academics?

You have to wonder though, what do they think holding their crosses towards the Satanist is gonna do? Whatever they think it's suppose to do it's clearly not working. He's unaffected like any normal person would be and their crosses have no more effect on him than using a piece of toilet paper. He talks from start to finish and then leaves respectfully. As he's ending his speech they're still holding their crosses to him as if they hold just a little longer the crosses will vaporize him before he finishes the last 5 words of his speech. You'd think they would get a hint, but of course they don't.

Make all prayer from every belief allowed or none whatsoever. At least make it equal for all beliefs without showing favoritism for one belief over the others

[@ElLenadorLA]

That’s all they want. Satanic temple is an atheist organizing, the whole Satan thing is just to make a point. Not to be confused with Church of Satan, they actually believe in super natural crap.

[@isdrakon9802]

As someone who looked into this specific satanist church, they aren't bad at all. Just looking at it I can see it getting started as a way to troll and combat the overwhelming power that Christians hold on our society. They've got a good track record as well, my favorite story was about how after the ten commandments were put up in a park or something similar they demanded the city put up a statue of their temples deity, of which wasn't Satan.

[@j3pelfrey]

I imagine that since you can't agree with Satanic beliefs then you are aware of what they believe???? The Satanic Temple Has a Version of the 10 commandments. It is called The Seven Tenets. Please tell me which satanic belief you disagree with. THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word. Sound like real poisonous stuff huh? Not at all like like the Bible where God permits slavery, incest, and genocide. Maybe before you criticize the beliefs of others you should find out what they believe before you make a comment that makes you look foolish.

[@scottielutz3062]

@@j3pelfrey Where was I criticizing y’all. The point of my first comment was that everyone should have equal rights no matter how different our beliefs are. I even said that although I am a believer of the Christianity faith, whether or not prayer is allowed I’m okay with whatever but have it be for all beliefs or none without showing favoritism for one over the other.

[@isdrakon9802]

@@scottielutz3062 I was criticizing your lack of research, you disagreed with their message without even looking into it.

But talk when a Christian representative is there to pray and watch them lose their mind once again.

I didn't know Christians were such hateful rude people. Doesn't seem very fair to me that they call sin on other faiths but clam to be perfect from God What a bunch of hypocrisy. 🙄

I thought we had Separation of Church & State.

[@j3pelfrey]

That is the whole point. When they make a rule that a prayer shall be offered before every council meeting they open the door to all prayers. When they put up a 10 commandment monument on the courthouse steps then soon after they have to allow The Satanic Temple to put up one as well. The problem is that they do not want freedom of religion. They want freedom for only their religion. Imagine that religious hypocrisy who would believe it......

So disrespectful of those "holy" Christian's. Disgusting that we share a country with that. Religious freedom is for everyone. Not for them only. That black guy should understand because his race was oppressed. And now hes the one doing the oppressing to other people for the same reason... ignorance.

0:40 "I'm not a religious person, but I think it's absolutely ridiculous" 😂😂 "religion" is such a filthy word now that they like to pretend they're not religious and say their religion is not a religion.

[@spiritbx1337]

They are delusional, they say that they aren't religious, but that they have 'a relationship with God'. As if that's any different than being religious. It's word salad.

[@jaclo3112]

they recognise that religion is unequivocally harmful and a detriment to society. The fact that secular democratic nations and cultures are doing far better than religious cultures is undeniable. So now they are trying to rebrand themselves by pretending their religion isn't a religion when it's still nothing more than a shitty religion.

Whenever Christians try to do prayer in government I have the urge to behave badly just like the Christians did. I'm glad that these people understood what it felt like for the first time to be a religious minority who wants government and religion to be seperate.

I really think you guys should have shown the prayer in its entirety that way didn't look like you guys are being one-sided about this or just trying to distract from the actual issues
