The Satanic Temple Iowa on Tuesday filed a complaint accusing state officials of discriminating against the group because of its members' religion, having denied them access to the state Capitol building for a December holiday display and event.
Yeah, the satanic temple is awesome. I love their t-shirts. I am not aware of anything “problematic” other than complaints by pearl clutchers because they have satan in their name.
The Iowa officials? I agree. While this article makes no mention of what was approved for the 2024 holiday season for comparison, I was able to find that there was a rosary prayer event at the Iowa state capitol. Someone could have used the rosary beads to strangle, or used Catholic guilt to emotionally abuse children. Given the risk of danger to the children, that event should not have been approved.
Now I assume you were talking about The Satanic Temple and not the Iowa officials. TST performs an important role in our society of reminding the community and the legislators that Christianity cannot be given preferential treatment by the government. They are a vital warden against the tendrils of theocracy. That is to say, for what they do to be perceived as problematic, there is a greater failing that needs to be addressed. If everything is working as it should, there are either no religious displays in government venues, or all religions are welcome.

Are you sure you don’t have TST confused with the church of satan?

Ah. I must.
Iowa has always been problematic.

By “these guys,” you’re referring to Christians, yes?
