Once again, the new improved Internet-laden news media shows that it has it’s head, um, up it’s six!

They wrote: “Atheist activist group The Satanic Temple”. THAT is a contradiction in terms! Satanists are not atheists, since atheists avow of or to no god at all, and i’m sure some of the local readers made that plain to the Detroit newspaper.

Now as to the unveiling and the following proceedings, like it or not, it is 1st Amendment preotected activities.

Unfortunately, for those that want a COMPLETE christian America, again, ‘you’ would have to eliminate EVERY person in the country, that does not ascribe to the christian faith, including those of all ages, and military veterans, as well. THAT would be an aberration of the 1st Amendment, and spit in the faces of those who gave their lives for this country, who DID ascribe to THEIR faith, and not ‘YOUR’S”.

Jefferson used a term:
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God”

Mind you, he did NOT say ‘your’ god, or ‘my’ god, referring to himself, but between man and his god. I hold, therefore, that this issue is between ‘you, the reader’, and your god, without interjecting anything referring to ‘my’ god, from me.
