Satanic Temple to give Prayer invocation at Ottawa County Board meeting

This is hilarious. So a group of far right extremist Trumpers took over the board in deep Red Ottawa County. They've been a complete disaster and the county has spent millions in legal bills defnding their actions. They wanted to bring prayer into government and invited only far right Trumpster preachers to give the prayer, well other pastors threatened to sue and so Ottawa County Board said it's a first come first serve now to sign up for the invocation. Well, The Satanic Temple signed up and will get to say their prayer.

For those who don't know, the Satanic Temple are freedom fighters who use their church to point out hypocrsy with having church and state combined. They might not advertise it, but they're mostly atheists who don't believe in god or the devil, but are more secular humanists who believe that people have the right to be free from religion.

Show the faces of the ‘godly’ MAGAts contorted in fear and fury - shouting and screeching - over what is likely an innocuous invocation that wouldn’t scare a child. I expect this satanic church to offer up observations that may cause untold amounts of butthurt in the audience.

Also the article clearly states the temple.

Perhaps an incantation will prevent the appearance of oil spots on my driveway.

Grange, Florida, is, famous for its miracles—the weeping fiberglass Madonna, the Road-Stain Jesus, the stigmata man.
