A government meeting in Alaska opened with a prayer to Satan after a Satanic Temple member won the right to deliver the invocation, prompting about a dozen officials and attendees to walk out.
The invocation was the first given by the Satanic Temple since the Kenai Peninsula Borough — 75 miles south of Anchorage — changed a policy in November after the Alaska Superior Court said that policy violated the state’s constitution’s establishment clause. The new policy allows for anyone in the borough to offer an invocation, no matter their religion.
In her invocation, Iris Fontana, who is a member of the Satanic Temple and brought a lawsuit against the borough to change the policy, called the room to be present, “and for attendees to clear their minds,” the Peninsula Clarion newspaper reported.
“She asked listeners to embrace the impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. ‘Let us demand that humans be judged for their actions,’ she said,” the Clarion reported.
“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, Kenai radio station KSRM reported.
Some 40 people protested the inclusion of a Satanic Temple invocation. Some held signs reading “reject Satan and his works” and “know Jesus and his love,” as they demonstrated outside the government building, the Clarion reported.
“Assembly members Norm Blakeley and Paul Fischer and borough Mayor Charlie Pierce were among those who left the assembly chambers along with some audience members,” the Associated Press reported.

Godless judges.
The government cannot establish a religion or prohibit the exercise thereof.
If I wish to worship my tomato plants, it is my religion.
They ARE magnificent, but they are not worthy of worship.
People who support prayer at school or government events seem to be selective about who they want delivering the prayer.
It sure would have been a shame if a group of sane citizens gave Iris Fontana a taste of real evil, and not the Playtime version she dabbles in.

Because they haven't been shown the price tag yet.
Under the category of “Things I wish I didn’t Know”
Satanism is allowed to be practiced by individuals in our military.
A family can decide instead of a crucifix on a veterans’ grave, there can be a Pentagram.
Why not6 have a ChrisTIAN IMMEDIATELY PRAY- aSKING GOD TO REJECT the last prayer, and to bless the meeting going forward? Pray for the soul of the lost Satan worshipper-?
Some seriously deranged and demented people in this country...

Was it Adam Carolla who said Wicca should be renamed Fat Chick-a? It can be tossed in the same bucket with tattoos and piercings: Look at me! I’m special! I’m different! Look at me! I’m transgressing!
ph out of balance? Not enough rock phosphate?
So Gods Blessings are removed from the Kenai. Will be interesting to watch Alaska change now.
So sad, these things have severe consequences.
It seems to me that there some sort of general rule that when Christians have a public prayer, they are allowed to address “God”, but must not address “Jesus” because that would be rude and divisive.
But I guess directly invoking Satan is double-plus good.
All satanic temples need to be burned to the ground and Its practitioners hung from Trees. Just sayin’.
