TAVARES (AP) — A South Florida man is threatening to sue Lake County if officials pray during a commission meeting but don't allow him to give a satanic invocation.

Chaz Stevens, a self-described atheist, tells local news outlets his request this week is part of his "Satan or Silence Project." His goal is to persuade elected officials to either drop prayers before meetings or allow him to lead a satanic prayer.

Commission Chairman Jimmy Conner says he won't allow the request.

In the past, Stevens has helped sway several cities to have a moment of silence before meetings instead of a prayer. He says he will consider filing a lawsuit if Lake County denies his request.

LaVey's message doesn't exactly need to be preached in Tallahassee anyway (and Lucifer's bag is pride, not some capitalistish vision of independence that only Americans happen to have: the grimoires say that'd be more Mammon anyhoo)

2. Chaz Stevens has been promoting himself for some time.

He usually demands a Festivus Pole at Christmas.

3. How can our elected officials properly perform their duties if they do not pray in unison first?

With God all things are possible which means elected officials might even do what they were elected to do.
