The Great Duel of Our Times is on. The Eternal Battle Between Good and Evil has come to the fore; not in the valley of Megiddo, as we might have expected, but a bit closer to home. Specifically, Lansing, Michigan.
More specifically, on the lawn of the Michigan State Capitol building, where lawmaker Rick Jones (R-Grand Ledge) will stand in Christ-like defiance of the powers of darkness. He, the lone exorcist, will compel the spirit of darkness to leave by
putting up a nativity scene for Christmas.
Like many other states including Florida, Michigan has a policy of allowing religious groups to put up displays outside (or in Florids case, inside) the capitol building during holidays. Those displays require state approval and permitting, and have traditionally included displays representing a wide variety of religious beliefs.
Wait, no. Thats not true. Its a nativity scene. Always has been. But the Forces of Evil from the (non-Satan-worshiping) Detroit chapter of the Temple of Satan have recently gained permission to erect their own display. A display theyre calling the Snaketivity, represented in the image below. And that display is apparently one more -ivity than was planned for the lawn of the Capitol this month.

(210 posts)Hostile environment for lgbt, taxes raised on working class and poor, forcing women to buy "rape insurance ", and so many more deliberate things. Those things forced a mass exodus of true democrats and young people from Michigan for over 20 years. We lose good, progressive people constantly because they can't take it anymore, or can no longer make it financially here. And it keeps good progressive minded people from moving here. They are trying to turn us into " Michissippi".

(16,860 posts)inside our capitol building? Those places have a specific function and it has nothing to do with God, Satan, Odin, Krishna, or anybody else. Just put up some lights or something. Are people so full of junk food that they can't think straight and see the insanity in all of this?
