'Demonic!' Tulsa city council meeting goes off rails as member told she's 'inviting evil'
outgoing councilor Crista Patrick stirred controversy when she brought pagan priestess Amy McAdams to deliver an opening invocation at the meeting that included nods to "the Gorgonea, champions of equality and sacred rage" and "Medusa, monstrous hero of the oppressed and abused."
In an interview with Public Radio Tulsa, Patrick said that she "wanted to share one little part of myself before I left office" and emphasized that the Greek goddess Medusa is traditionally known as "a fighter of injustice, especially for women."
However, her decision to invite McAdams drew swift condemnation not only from angry locals who accused her of being "demonic, or Satanist, or inviting evil into our city and our household," but also from Oklahoma's Republican governor and state superintendent.
"Satan is trying to establish a foothold, but Oklahoma is going to be a shining city on the hill," declared Gov. Kevin Stitt. "Tulsa City Council needs to stand strong against actions like this, and Tulsans need to remember who allowed this at the ballot box."
Superintendent Ryan Walters, meanwhile, as even more explicit in his condemnation.
"Satanic prayers are welcome in hell but not in Oklahoma," he said.

Whatever nation the rainbow flag represents I highly doubt they have nuclear weapons.

San Antonio Christians ask city to halt King William's Krampus parade
Pastors warned Friday that the German-inspired holiday event would usher in 'perversions,' 'disasters' and open a demonic portal.
Roughly 30 people from evangelical churches gathered in front of City Hall Friday to ask local officials to shut down San Antonio's first Krampus Parade, an event they denounced as "demonic" and sure to bring disaster.
"We're here to educate the community of what Krampus is and what the leadership of the King William district is doing, and what they're inviting," said Mark Lugo, pastor of SA Impact Ministries and San Antonio director of At His Feet Ministries. "We're standing as spiritual leaders that oversee this city, and we're saying they're opening a demonic realm in San Antonio."
They warned that the festival would invite calamity and lead San Antonio away from its roots as a "Christian city." At least two speakers cited natural disasters that struck Brazil after a parade there that they alleged celebrated demonic forces. Pressed for more information on the incident, they said the Brazilian parade wasn't Krampus-related, and they were unable to offer additional details.
One speaker also blamed Mardi Gras in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina and similar celebrations for hurricanes and power outages in Puerto Rico. Multiple speakers argued the Krampus parade would "open up a portal" and invite death and destruction upon San Antonio.
"This is real; you're going to open up a window," said David Rodriguez of People's House Church. "At the end [of the Krampus Parade] — I read the article — they're going to go to the park and do incantations and spells with the curanderos and the witchdoctors for practicing witchcraft. We want to warn your family that your sons and daughters will turn to pornography and perversion, incest, rape, murder — that's what it's all about."

I think I like this Krampus guy. And if he's real then what about Santa, is there some special incantation that I don't know about?

Religious people so bamboozle themselves, it's sad.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You're clearly unaware that there are more flags that don't represent nations than flags that do. Now that you've learned this, please bring it up at you next Homophobes United meeting. Thank you in advance.
