Hell yeah

Iowa city shoots itself in the foot, then is astonished about the pain and blood.

I love and am amazed that it completed, and the pledge after, as mundane as if they were reading the budget. It wasn't until the pearl clutching a minute later that anyone seemed to even notice.

Well god hates shellfish, so there's only one other option right? Thank you Satan for oysters!

"Oh no, the consequences of my actions!"

Lulz. Hail satan.

But a pastor in the audience wasn’t having it — he headed straight for the podium Dalbey had just left and demanded everyone gathered in the room “reverse this curse that was put on our city.”

“That ‘Hail Satan’ is not welcome here,” New Life Center pastor Rick Bick told the council, footage from the Ottumwa Courier shows.

“It needs to be done now,” he said after council members told him to wait until the meeting’s public comment section. 

“I appreciate what Ms. Galloway is saying, but that was a curse put on the city,” Bick said. “Most of you know that, and we need to just stop and reverse it.”

Ottumwa Mayor Benjamin Foote then announced there would be 30 seconds of silence “to reflect on whatever it is we need to reflect on at this time” — and after city council members tried to move the meeting along, the mayor butted back and the silence continued.

Honestly. Our lefty friends don’t have a plan for these people. They’re entrenched in every state and they vote republican “religiously”. They have to be . . . well, a plan would say what they have to be.

Imagine calling a Christian prayer a "curse". And then having the mayor back you up. People would riot.

The pearl clutching is another minute after too

The whole meeting video is up.
Thankfully, the invocation is right at the beginning.

I didn't know what hobby lobby was when I first went into one.

I saw a whole section full of religious stuff, and it had some really overtly offensive stuff... I ranted about it loudly, then left without buying anything.

You don't have to pay money to join, though. The certificate is just something that looks cool and it's an inexpensive way to support the Temple.

They didn't rebrand as Michael's, they just closed? I only read a short blurb about Michael's buying them, so I don't really know much more than that. I haven't even checked around here, where Joann used to be, but I think it might be the same scenario, they may have simply closed. I'll have to look if I remember next time I'm over there.

Joann's closed all their locations here

I'm not religious but if I had to be I know which religion I'd pick up.

For $30 or so, you can buy a certificate of membership, and a credit-card sized membership card with the tenants on the back and your name on it. All the stuff the satanic temple makes is super high quality, they even sell baphomet Christmas ornaments and hot sauces (the garlic chipotle is my favorite). All the proceeds go to their nonprofit to fight for religious freedom, like any honest church.

I'm getting an idea of which way IBTimes leans.

III. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing, OP. I'm going to spread the word.

Well, once it’s lyrics and not something to read while also listening to different lyrics, sure, that makes sense.

Why would I suggest lyrics are bad? I’m talking about the cognitive overload and poor flow.

That can only be a compliment

I mean,

A cruel Christian stunt,
A culture war bomb,
Dropped from the cunt,
of Sam Alito's mom.

rather slaps.
