This stuff freaks me out like nothing else, but nonetheless it's kind of intriguing in a morbid sort of way. 

I saw this story on facebook this morning and was wondering what you guys thought:

I was also wondering what you guys thought of the actual Satanic Temple religion. They're all Atheists who use the symbol of the Demon to represent personal freedoms and their opposition to the idea of God:

What's been particularly fun for me is that Doug Mesner a.k.a. Lucien Greaves, whose been at the center of this petition (if you haven't seen his interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, check it out - pretty great), is a Detroit native whom my older brother has known for awhile. Apparently some years back he went to one of the parties my brother and his roommates used to have about once a month, in which I may or may not have met him (the booze and/or the drugs blur my memory, not to mention he would have just been some random dude to me that I would have been introduced to) - nonetheless I've enjoyed watching a local rise to national fame for such a hilarious yet important cause.
