TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) — Florida’s Capitol will have a new holiday decoration this year. The Satanic Temple will be among its nativity scenes and secular presentations.

It’s for Festivus, a non-commercial festival “for the rest of us,” is close to coming back as a 6-foot stack of empty beer cans.

The Florida Department of Management Services this week approved the proposed holiday display from the Satanic Temple, which a year ago was rejected because the agency said its proposal was “grossly offensive.” The temple’s entry was one of five displays that got approval to be put up in the first-floor rotunda of the Capitol for the end-of-year holiday period.

They’re not doing this during Ramadan or Channukah, they’re doing it during Christmas,

Because the creeps don’t have the balls (sorry but true) to dare insult other religions - only Christians because they know they don’t normally retaliate. But, one day they are going to get the surprise of their lives.

Every year! Where do you live? I hear a dozen or more instances of Nativity scenes destroyed around the Tampa Bay area. It DOES happen.

Ever read C.S. Lewis’s the Last Battle, about the people who don’t believe in the god Tash but make a show out of worshiping him anyway? And then, to their horror, he shows up?

When you go calling a being you don’t believe in, how will it be for you when he comes?

From what I gathered, it seemed more like a club for swingers (part of the reason Sammy Davis, Jr. was briefly a “member”).

That’s “Festival” and the Red Hour. Fortunately, the will of Landrieu will be overthrown on Saturday.

They plan on singing “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Hades” and “I Saw Mommy Sacrificing Santa Clause” among other favorite satanic carols.

“The U.S.S. Enterprise is investigating Beta III, where the U.S.S. Archon disappeared over 100 years before. When the landing party exhibits strange behavior, Kirk sends another party down to investigate. They find the culture on Beta III is quiescent, with no creative tendencies. The entire culture is controlled by a group of ‘lawgivers’ known as “The Body” which is, in turn, controlled by the omniscient Landru. The inhabitants change from normal, peaceful people to a violent mob at the coming of the Red Hour. This ‘Festival’ is the society’s only outlet for the tyrannical hold that Landru has over them at all other times.”

There was a time - not so long ago, either - when morons such as this would have been laughed out of town.

Or tarred and feathered.

Well I can see them doing the first song, but the second one would not happen because they’d be sacrificing their own.
