Protesters Rally Against Arizona “SatanCon” [VIDEO]

So this happened over the weekend:

Protesters gathered outside the Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale, which is the site of the Satanic Temple’s first-ever SatanCon. Organizers said about 350 people are expected to attend the event, and the event is sold out.

At the SatanCon site, demonstrators prayed, read scriptures, held signs, banners, rosaries, crosses, and images of the Virgin Mary. Protesters say they plan to be there throughout the weekend.

“We’re out here to let the Satanists know that there’s no place for evil in Arizona. And we’re here to combat that. And we’re here to say that Jesus is Lord,” said a protester. The protest took place despite a plea by the Phoenix Catholic Bishop for people to refrain from taking part in such events.

As I’ve mentioned here many times, the Satanic Temple is an atheist prankster group that says right on their website that Satan does not exist. They primarily exist to battle Christianist indoctrination in public schools and government. The banner seen in the screenshot above is by the red-caped Catholic loons.
