A Satanist recently gave an invocation in Ottumwa, Iowa that ended with "Hail Satan." A pastor then asked the council to "reverse the curse." The mayor capitulated. What a mess. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/satanic-in...

How weak is their god if one guy can drop a curse that the entire room needs to work together to undo? That pastor must not be at 5th level or he could have dropped a dispel magic without all the fuss. DND magic users > god.

…what I don’t think you actually know what Satansm IS. Satanist don’t even actually believe Satan is real. They use it as an example to show the absurdity of Christian beliefs.

Some people might say it’s a movement… bsky.app/profile/some...

With freedom of religion, if a city allows Christians to pray at their meetings, they also have to allow people of other religions to do invocations. Some people in Battle Ground, WA, are making a concerted effort to claim the city for MAGA Jesus but this week the Satanic Temple gave the invocation.
