People are pissed in Phoenix.
It all sounds familiar and what happened in Phoenix happened right here in Lake Worth...same mindset. Lake Worth Commissioner Christopher McVoy was the only commissioner who dissented on the vote to change the invocation process which now controls who says what.
Our favorite atheist, Chaz Stevens, has pulled another one, preying on religious values and pitting one person against another. Mayor Greg Stanton of Phoenix, Arizona and others blasted a Commissioner for implying they supported the Satanists and sought to "end prayer." They had a silent prayer instead. The mayor called some of the political attacks the "most despicable thing that I have ever witnessed in my service to the city."
Then he said that taking the other proposed route, which would have allowed council members to pick the person who gives invocation, would have put the city in "Constitutional peril."
Now they are going to put it to a vote of the people.
"There may be changes that (city councils) could make that would have the incidental effect of altering who is going to have priority for giving invocations," said Michael McConnell, director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School, who spoke to KJZZ's "The Show."
"But there can be no formal discrimination," said McConnell.
And Chaz Stevens keeps on laughing and he won't stop until we become a Godless nation.

While I would love, love, love to remove the parasite that is religion from humanity's collective mind, that's too big of a task for any one Satanist.
Therefore, I'll just need to be satisfied with the bleating and moaning I hear from this blog, and its commenters.
Hey, Chaz--nice hearing from you.
It's really these municipalities that are pathetic. Go Phoenix.
I, for one, appreciate Chaz's efforts. Religion has no place in the city, town or municipality meeting. I've never understood why those that hold Christian beliefs need to flaunt them and taunt others during small town meetings to make others tow the line so they can get their roof permit. And if the Supreme Court has said prayer is fine so long as all religions are represented then they open the door to Chaz's games. You can't have one with out the other. Go to church if you want to pray, let the rest of us take care our our city business without being pressured to play along.
You guys are way too PC for me. A spiritual invocation does not hurt anyone--ANYONE, even an atheist.
There is nothing wrong with hearing a 2 minute invocation from ANY religion.
Can people grow up?
