Controversial Invocation at Council Meeting

It's 5:30. Calling this meeting to order.

We will start with the invocation then the pledge.

So those that would like to participate in the invocation, please stand.

Thank you, Mayor, Council. Let us pray.

Dear Dark Father, let us stand now unbowed

and unfettered by arcane doctrines

born of fearful minds in darkened times.

Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate

our blissful and comforting delusions of old.

Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their

fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations.

Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast

only to that which is demonstrably true.

Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority

that threatens the

personal sovereignty of one or all.

That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth

should never be spared its demise. It is done. Hail Satan.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of

America, and to the Republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible, with

liberty and justice for all.
