Just in time for Christmas, The Satanic Temple of Detroit held a Satanic ceremony on the steps of the state Capitol in Lansing, Michigan on December 19, 2015. Members dressed in black held black and white American flags. The group has posted a video of the event on YouTube, and a transcript can be found here.

The speech began with, “Hail comrades. Hail sisters and brothers. Hail Satan.”

“We are gathered here to celebrate the spirit of humanity and the dawn of a New American Era…”

While some argued this constitutes freedom of speech and religion, others argued it is a sign that America is (literally) going to Hell.
