'MINION OF SATAN' WANTS TO GIVE COUNTY COMMISSION INVOCATION

A South Florida man who describes himself as a “minion of Satan” has requested to give a satanic invocation before a Lake County Commission meeting. Chaz Stevens, 51, said his request this week is part of his “Satan or Silence Project” aimed at persuading elected officials to either drop prayers before meetings or allow him to lead a prayer and ask for blessings from the devil. But commission Chairman Jimmy Conner said he has no plans to accept the “over-the-top” request. “There won’t be any satanic prayers while I’m chairman,” Conner said. “The man isn’t going to bully me. If he hates God, he can do that. But we’re not going to spread devil worshiping in our chamber.”
* Then his head turned all the way around and he threw up.
* You don’t have to hate God to be a minion of Satan. It’s nothing personal – it’s just a matter of wanting to go with the winning side.
* What? You don’t follow the news?
* Let him do it. Have you ever sat through a county commissioners meeting? Those things are hell.
* Does EVERYONE have to try to cash in on that “Minions” movie?
* I really didn’t expect the Prince of Evil to make his stand in Lake County, Florida.
* Actually, the Devil doesn’t answer prayers. He’s mean that way.
* Satan or Silence? There have to be more selections than that.
* It’s a pretty obvious move to force the separation of church and state, but as usual he went too far.
* It does kind of highlight why prayer in school would be a legal nightmare. What if one of these other religions wants your kids praying to their god? Even multiple gods? How about if your kid came home and said, “Today we prayed to Scientology”?
* And even if it’s Christian prayer in schools next you’ll have the Protestants and the Catholics going after each other. It’ll be Northern Ireland all over again.
* So what would happen? The courts would probably rule that ALL religions must be represented in school and the kids would spend 8 hours a day covering that.
