The Satanic Temple Hosting ‘Satanic holiday carols’ and ‘a large Satanic altar’ at Iowa State Capitol
Protestia ^ | December 11, 2024 | staff

The Satanic Temple of Iowa is hosting the “family-friendly” “Satanic Holiday Joy” at the Iowa State Capitol this coming Saturday, where they tell attendees to expect, along with handing out coloring pages and an ornament decorating station for the kids, “Satanic holiday carols, a large Satanic altar and display, a devilish Sol Invictus/Saturnalia ornament making station, and ritual!”

They will also have a costume contest with prizes for whoever dresses up as the best ‘Krampus,’ which is a horned, half-goat, half-demon figure from Central and Eastern European folklore who punishes children who misbehave.

We last wrote about TST after they raffled off a free abortion to promote the organization’s religious abortion ritual, hosted SatanCon 2023′, billed as ‘The Largest Satanic Gathering in History,’ and opened up a new abortion clinic to murder babies in satanic ‘ritual.’

Last year, the Satanic Temple of Iowa, under the guidelines of the Iowa legislature, allowed Satanists to place an idol of Baphomet, a winged, goat-headed, trans-human figure, on display in the vicinity of nativity displays on the first floor of the Iowa Capitol.

The display drew the ire of many Christians, who lamented the blasphemy of placing an idol in the capitol as a sign of the impending judgment of God upon the nation. Some conservative Republicans, while lamenting the statue as blasphemous, defended the existence of the display on the grounds of constitutional freedom of religious expression.

On December 14, Cassidy walked into the Iowa capital building and smashed the Baphomet, decapitating the idol before stuffing its head into a nearby trashcan.

While Cassidy promptly turned himself in to capitol police and was initially charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, raising over $80,000 through crowdfunding for his defense, those charges were elevated to a more severe nature after Polk County prosecutors charged him with felony third-degree criminal mischief with a hate crime enhancement. He ultimately received a $855 fine, two years of probation, and undisclosed determination costs.

The Satanic Temple (TST) was formed in 2012 and is not to be confused with the Church of Satan. Claiming a membership of over 700,000 people, they reject the existence of a literal devil in exchange for the devil as a metaphor and literary device to further their activism. Their mission is to “encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits” by engaging in run-of-the-mill pagan secular humanist ideals, such as “confronting hate groups, fighting for the abolition of corporal punishment in public schools, fighting against any Christian imagery and practices in schools and government, and fighting for abortion.

The problem with Christianity is they put up with too much crap. How is Satanism treated in the ME? It’s non-existent.

You don’t have to behead people to stop it, but you can make they’re life a living Hell so they get a taste of what it’s like to meet Satan, a la Old Testament style.

They don’t believe in Satan but they go through all this because they hate Christians.

“fighting against any Christian imagery and practices in schools and government”

But not any other religions. It sounds like a Hate Group

Don’t know about that ...

But if you search ewe-tewb for “Cthulhu Carols”, you’ll find things which are either hilarious or appalling, depending on your sense of humor.

They do this kinda stuff to troll Christians and make them look stupid.

The best thing to do is simply not engage the Satanists.
