Go Satanic Temple do it, do it, do it!!!
Mayor Keith London said waiving the rules for the eruv would set the city up for other religious requests that might not be so tame.
“If we open up public property for one, we open up public property for all,” he said during a recent meeting. “I’m not comfortable with opening it for all.”
That alone is good reasoning. But the city officials have another reason to avoid giving Orthodox Jews an exemption from the law: Chaz Stevens is waiting in the wings.
Stevens is a local Satanic activist who has erected Festivus poles and Distress-ivus poles (that look like Donald Trump). He’s placed an image of an upside-down butt-plugged Jesus outside a local city hall. He hired someone to wear a costume of a giant phallus with Trump’s head before a presidential debate.
He’s a provocateur. And the potential eruv means he’s coming up with his own alternatives: Stevens said he plans to “come to town with a platoon of giant dongs” should the eruv win approval, one for each of the nine poles.
