Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he would support the legal fund of a man who is accused of vandalizing a display by The Satanic Temple inside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday.
“Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government,” DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. “I’ll chip in to contribute to this veteran’s legal defense fund. Good prevails over evil — that’s the American spirit.”

Do you want to have the government decide what is an ‘approved’ religion now?
Because the current government is already starting to do that, with their surveillance of of catholics and classifying christians as ‘domestic extremist’.
And while you may say the government won’t ban christianity, the left is very effective at using incrementalism over time, to get rid of things they don’t like.
Technically, the country is atheist. It's a tolerant atheist unlike the Soviet Union or China, but there is little difference otherwise.
DeSantis. Clutching. At. Straws.
“ So now he supports vandalism of the satanic display because it’s not a group that he approves of. ”
Wow.
Someone on FR doing extreme mental gymnastics to critique someone helping a brave person battling actual supporters of evil.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT A GROUP HE DOESN’T SUPPORT???
We now have to justify why satanists aren’t a good group??
Are you nuts ?
Satanism is no more a religion than “trans” is a gender.
It’s high time we quit paying lip service to all this absurd nonsense, and reacquaint ourselves with the true purpose of the Bill of Rights.
The Founders’ purpose in protecting free expression was to limit government power over citizens - not to encourage citizens to indulge in every imaginable absurdity.
Being free does not mean there is no limit to what we have to tolerate.
“Do you want to have the government decide what is an ‘approved’ religion now? “
It already does. The only question is which religions will be preferred, tolerated and banned.
BoomerCons have this delusion of “neutral” institutions. That’s why BoomerCons lost and the Left (who knows better) have won everything.
Someone’s values are going to prevail in every institution. I think it should be the Right’s.
You have to keep up with the desantis rantings...
So it’s interesting, I heard this and then I was like, well how did it get there? Is that even a religion? And lo and behold, the Trump administration gave them approval to be under the IRS as a religion. So that gave them the legal ability to potentially do it. So I don’t know what the legislature– what they, how they analyzed it, but it very well may be because of that ruling under Donald Trump that they may have had a legal leg to stand on. My view would be that’s not a religion that the founding fathers were trying to create, but I do you think that IRS ruling– I was really surprised to see that they did that.“Yeah, exactly, but they recognized it as a religion because otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to do it,” DeSantis noted. “I don’t think that was the right decision.
desanctimious doesn't approve of the group and doesn't think it should exist as a religion.
We currently have to play under a system of laws that the left has corrupted and turned to their advantage.
☹
Frankly I hold libertarians just as culpable for the decline of the west as the left. They both play semantic games and are materialist ideologies that reduce everything to political power on the one hand, or money on the other. They both tend to try to hollow out the important things in life to such a degree that it becomes something not even worth defending. It is ideology masking itself as humanity.
Trump lives in Rhonda Santis’s head 24/7.
Casey filmed it.
Everyone should support this guy for kicking over this disgusting display.
And great DeSantis offers support, everyone should support him .

Yes, this makes DeSantis awesome twice over the same incident.
Right - we can allow free speech without endorsing alternate realities.
I think knocking down that satan display was an act of free expression too.
They are trying to normalize the abnormal. We may have to let them engage in abnormal behavior, but we shouldn’t be forced to accept it, respect it or treat it as normal.
Not at all.
Show me a mention of Jesus Christ, YHWH, or of any specific version of the Bible in either the Constitution or the DOI.
It’s built on Enlightenment principles with a nod towards Deism.
“I think knocking down that satan display was an act of free expression too.”
In which case knocking down a church would be the same thing.
Thats a leftist myth.
Your wrong.
Apparrently, the left agrees, that vandalism and violence is acceptable if they don’t like churches.
San Gabriel Mission fire: A massive fire has destroyed a 249-year-old church in california
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/12/us/san-gabriel-mission-fire-trnd/index.html
AN GABRIEL, Calif. (KABC) — A man has been charged with setting on fire a historic Catholic church in San Gabriel last summer, prosecutors said Tuesday.
https://abc7.com/san-gabriel-mission-fire-catholic-church/10585033/
No one would say anything about how the fire started or even speculate it was arson for months after the fire, which let everyone know it was arson, and they didn’t want to talk about it because it would piss people off.
As far as I know, the motive for the arson is has not been released....
