from the story:

Satanists will be rallying later this month in an effort to show support for Florida Gov. Rick Scott. The intriguing cohort is throwing its weight behind the Republican politician in an effort to praise his “defense of religious liberty,” according to a press release put out by The Satanic Temple, the group that is organizing the event.

.............The statement mentions Scott’s recent approval of Senate Bill 98 — a controversial measure that permits students to read inspirational messages at school-sanctioned events — as a central reason for the gathering.

..................The Satanic Temple embraces the free expression of religion, and Satanists are happy to show their support of Rick Scott who — particularly with SB 98 — has reaffirmed our American freedom to practice our faith openly, allowing our Satanic children the freedom to pray in school,” the release reads.

what a totally screwed world......and country we live in....

We may not like how, who, or what others worship. However, we must support their freedom to do so. If we want to be free to have Christian prayers and statements made/read in public schools we have to allow other faith groups (no matter how unsavory) to have the same freedom.

you're right, of course. just that the irony of it is so obvious (?).
I wonder what'll happen if the governor supported or proposed a bill that bans public prayer of any faith in all public schools, offices, and public places ?
I guess we'll have the American Atheists, ACLU, NAACP, and those "others" rallying to support him, eh ?
lol.
totally screwed world.
can't wait to get outta here.
either my time, or His time.

We have both freedom of religion and freedom of speech in America. That means ANY religion, not just the majority one.

Yep. Reminds me of the nativity scene controversy in Santa Monica. For decades they had a nativity scene there at Christmas time. The atheists complained and won the right to have their own displays. Pretty soon there were Flying Spaghetti Monster displays and Greek God displays, and others, to the point where they outnumbered the Christian displays.

Personally, I'm for no public prayers of any kind in the public schools.
