Hopefully, our billboard will serve as a daily reminder to the citizens there that they live in a barbaric backwater town where dysfunctional and possibly sexually disturbed middle-aged men may titillate their depraved impulses by violently spanking teenaged girls

I love how Fox News still goes after these people just because the word "Satan" is involved.
Everything I've heard about them makes them sound remarkably chill, and this billboard seems cool and good.

I don't know much about Satanists, but I heard that they don't actually worship Satan, they just... say they do. Idk. They seem pretty cool from what I've heard. I don't think actual Satanists exist.

The Satanic Temple are good peeps, they do a lot to oppose fundamentalist religious fuckwittery and they're big on personal freedoms. They generally pop up a lot around LGBT rights, access to abortion, and the separation of church and state.

Sorry, I had to. There are/have been
theistic Satanists but you generally only hear about the atheistic ones who believe that the character of Satan represents worthwhile principles.

You know... that's actually kind of cool. It looks like they use Satan as a model for resisting arbitrary authority, like what Satan did in the Bible or whatever when he rebelled against God. I guess that could be looked at as the ultimate example of resisting authority. I never really thought of it that way.
Maybe that's why metalheads often say they're Satanists.

Bingo. People need to read their Milton and Blake to grok this.
