Iowa city council debates proper time in meeting agenda to “undo the curse that was just put on our city.”

An Iowa man has kicked off controversy over religious freedom in the small town of Ottumwa, Iowa by opening a city council meeting with a prayer to Satan, which then kicked off a debate about the proper time in the meeting agenda to undo the “curse.”

    When Abrahamic religion controls government, it’s madness. And here we are.

    As the 80s Satanic Panic showed us, we’re not above losing our collective minds and putting people in prison… and if they ever control the USA again, they will kill you. They’re instructed to by God. It would be wrong not to kill you.

    They’ve lost nothing. They get to devote government time to religion. They’ve won so hard that I can’t even begin to understand how to get society back on track without drastic measures

    I can’t approve of worshiping a devil/demon but I do approve of taking the opportunity to throw the hypocrisy back into their faces.
