Michigan’s Capitol Faces ‘Satanic’ Christmas

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

LANSING, USA (Worthy News) – The heart of government in the Midwestern U.S. state of Michigan was preparing for Christmas with a satanic display of The Satanic Temple (TST) group after a Christian beheaded its other satanic monument at the Iowa State Capitol.

The ‘Yule Goat’ featuring a medallion from the TST shown at the Michigan State Capitol was really about mocking the Christian faith, given its proximity to the Nativity scene, said ex-State Senator Rick Jones.

“I do feel, however, this Satanic Temple group doesn’t really have a holiday they’re celebrating; they’re just doing it to taunt Christians,” he added in published remarks.“My advice to everyone is to simply ignore them.”

TST defended its decision to place the controversial display at the seat of the Michigan Legislature and government. “TST members across Michigan united to create their State Capitol holiday display. Stop by the Capitol to view our Michigan congregations’ display!” it shouted on social media.

TST said the goat was “inspired by the Scandinavian Yule (and later Christmas) tradition of the Yule Goat or Julbocken.”

“Many of our members in Michigan observe the Yule holiday as well as the Satanic holiday of Sol Invictus, and Satanism has historically used goat symbolism, making this a perfect fit for our holiday display,” they claimed. “Our display serves as an expression of religious pluralism and a celebration of diversity throughout our state.”

Yet the latest display was put up just days after Christian military veteran Michael Cassidy beheaded another satanic monument on display at the Iowa State Capitol.

Cassidy, who faces prosecution, cited 1 John 3:8 as among his motivation for the destruction of the statue: “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” He noted that “Scripture exhorts us to think and act like Jesus Christ.”
