You know how sometimes we conservatives get a little blunt with our rhetoric and we just come right out and say that the liberals and the Democrats promote evil?

And then the liberals and the Democrats deny it.

And then the squish Republicans say that we're being hyperbolic

and engaging in irresponsible, inflammatory rhetoric

and that our opponents don't promote evil.

They just have a difference of opinion and blah blah

blah. So yesterday, Democrat Senator Juan Mendez extolled the virtues of Satanism in the Arizona

State Capitol.

Members, I would like to introduce a group of Arizonans, some from my district, but they have

membership all across the state. They are here today to confront the arbitrary tyrannical authority of religious

persecution that's scheduled for government committee later on today.

Today members I want to introduce you to members we are graced with the presence of ministers and members of the

Citanic Temple of Arizona. Please stand today. They're at the capital today to fight for the rights of

their more than 12,000 members of their denomination and the rights of free speech and free exercise of all

Arizonans. The temple practices non-theistic Satanism divorced from

superstition without any belief in gods or devils.

They practice the religious, they practice the religious values of compassion, justice, bodily

autonomy, free speech, science, humility, and noble action.

As in organized religion, they actively do outreach and community service and participate

in public affairs where their issues might benefit from

their rational satanic insights. The mission of the satanic temple is to

encourage belovedance and empathy among all people.
