‘Largest Public Satanic Ceremony in History’ to Take
Place in Detroit
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 25 Jul 2015Detroit, MI
A Satanic reproductive rights group is promising to unveil a
one-ton bronze statue of a
goat-headed Baphomet
Saturday in Detroit, in a private ceremony open only to bearers of $25 tickets.
that its secret location will only be revealed to
ticket-holders and attendance is strictly controlled. Tickets go for $25 for
ordinary seating and $75 for those wishing VIP treatment, including the chance
to be photographed seated on the Baphomet monument.
A spokeswoman said that funds from the event “raise money to
support Satanic Temple campaigns such as our reproductive rights legal action
fund.”
The ticket website states that
the Satanic Temple “invites you to join us for a night of chaos, noise, and
debauchery at the Unveiling, a hedonistic celebration introducing the
controversial Baphomet monument accompanied by provocative performances and
installations.”
Though the organizers of the ceremony call themselves
Satanists, their propaganda suggests that the event may be a double ploy to
make money and protest against religious Americans. The Satanic Temple works to
promote abortion rights and to gain acceptance for same-sex marriage.
The leader of the
Satanic Temple of Detroit, Jex Blackmore, said Wednesday that she can’t reveal
the location of the unveiling because she wants to protect the safety of her guests.
According to the official invitation, the unveiling show “will serve as
a call-to-arms from which we’ll kick off our largest fight to date in the name
of individual rights to free exercise against self-serving theocrats.”
The group says it advocates separation of church and state
and now wants to erect the satanic effigy outside Arkansas’ Statehouse where a
Ten Commandments monument is also planned.
The Satanists said that the 8-foot tall statue “is not only
an unparalleled artistic triumph, but stands as a testament to plurality and
the power of collective action.” The statue depicts Satan with horns, hooves,
wings and a beard, backed by an inverted pentagram and flanked by statues of
two young children gazing up at the creature.
The event originally was to take place at a Detroit
restaurant, but the venue’s owner said he canceled it after learning of the
statue’s unveiling and of the Satanic Temple’s involvement. The group said they
were very transparent, though, signing the contract as the “Satanic Temple.”
Unsurprisingly, the Satanic Temple is an active campaigner
for rights to legal abortion on demand, and rails against all legislation
restricting abortion, including ultrasounds, and abortion waiting periods. Its
website links to an article stating:
The Satanic Temple (TST) supports personal choice in the
context of abortion and, as part of a multi-faceted Women’s Rights campaign,
TST is offering religious exemptions from arbitrary, insulting, and outright
harmful anti-abortion legislation that has been steadily encroaching across the
nation.
Among our fundamental tenets, TST holds that “one’s body is
inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone,” and, “Beliefs should conform to
our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to
distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.”
The Satanic group also crusades for same-sex marriage.
Prior to the recent Supreme Court ruling that made same-sex marriage the law of
the land, the Temple offered “to perform same-sex weddings in the state of
Michigan with the intention of reforming the state’s anti-gay marriage stance.”
“We are available to perform weddings in Michigan
as well as other states that do not recognize same-sex unions,” the group said.
The Baphomet statue was originally planned to be uncovered
at the state Capitol in Oklahoma City, but Detroit was ultimately selected for
the unveiling because The Satanic Temple in the city has a “strong
congregation,” with more than 200 registered members.

One would think that, Bill Marriott,
who professes a firm belief in the Book of Mormon, might recognize a little
irony in all of this. You see, the Book of Mormon warns
us of the power of the devil and his "Secret Combinations", which are
organized to get power and gain (gold and silver). It also warns us of the
consequences of letting these "Secret Combinations" get above
us". That is, allowing them to rule over us. It ends with a strict
admonition for us to eradicate these evil organizations from our society, not
build them up.
