I thought this article was a hoot. Oklahoma law does not allow public nudity, so instead of a naked woman in the ritual, a woman will wear lingerie during the consecration (or should I say desecration) of the host. I also thought there was a lot of other fun stuff in the article too. And of course, the Catholics have got their underwear in a knot, because they're worrying about a Black Mass inviting Satanic forces of evil into a Christian community.
Sheesh! The Catholics are serious about this. They actually believe Satanists can call up dark forces, like God and the Devil will have to fight a battle in some downtown park. It's so fucking medieval. LOL

Those Satanists sure are a bunch of little rascals

Yeah, it's pretty strange that Satanists don't really believe in Christianity, but Christians believe in Satanism.

I think that is the funniest part. lmao
Quote from: the articleThe co-founder of Dakhma of Angra Mainyu told ABC News that the religious and educational organization decided to hold the black mass in public but it will be a “tamer†version than some traditional satanic ceremonies by, for example, substituting vinegar for acts involving urine to comply with state health laws.
I can understand the lingerie and maybe we could work out a compromise on the bloodletting, but taking the piss out of the ritual is something I absolutely will not stand for. Political correctness run amok!

:weed: Though it would have been better if they paid a little extra to up it to $666. :madu:
QuoteAdditional controversy has surrounded this particular event because the Oklahoma City Archdiocese filed a lawsuit against Daniels' group after media reports that he was in possession of a consecrated host, a wafer that some Catholics believe is literally the body of Christ.
"Oh noes, he has crackers! Magic crackers! This means war!" WTF is wrong with you people?!
Quote"I remain concerned about the dark powers that this satanic worship invites into our community and the spiritual danger that this poses to all who are involved in it, directly or indirectly," Archbishop Paul Coakley said in a statement.
Yeah, they might get people to believe in all sorts of nonsense, like magic and supernatural beings.

Seriously. If you can make the news and apparently cheese off a lot of people (just check the article's comments section, it's over 3000!) with only $420 and a 25-min activity, you are a doing very, very well as a trouble-maker.
Yeah, they might do some evil deeds like improve the economy or create jobs and shit. Now THAT would put a knot in their knackers.
QuoteThe group is separate from The Satanic Temple, a national group with similar beliefs that has long fought with Oklahoma City officials about the right to have a statue of the devil placed prominently in the Oklahoma State Capitol.
If they succeed Oklahome atheists should petition to have their own statue, an empty plinth.
