An estimated 170 Christians turned out to protest the gathering of 11 Satanists.
BOISE, Idaho (LifeSiteNews) – A publicity stunt by a Satanist group in Idaho to perform “gender affirmation rituals” at the state capitol backfired Monday, with the small handful of Satanists who showed up drastically outnumbered by Christian counter-protesters.
As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, a group calling itself Satanic Idaho (SI) announced that on February 13 it would be at the capitol to perform “gender affirmation rituals” to “remind [Idahoans] that not everyone uses religion to condemn, but to accept.”
The rituals, promoted by the national, secular-leftist agitation group The Satanic Temple (TST), reportedly consist of participants “count[ing] their breathing in three counts of six” and recite an incantation affirming themselves as their own “Master,” as well as the mantra, “I praise myself. I know myself. I love myself.”
However, despite the announcement generating significant media attention, ultimately a paltry 11 Satanists actually turned out Monday and were outnumbered by as many as 170 Christians, the Idaho Tribune reported.
“Nobody likes these people,” wrote the Tribune’s Johnston Meadows, who called the event a “giant nothingburger.”
However, Meadows cautioned that “[j]ust because these losers can only draw a dozen people to their events doesn’t mean that Christians and Patriots can sit idly by. We must remain vigilant and continue to pray for our state and our elected leaders, lest they fall into temptation.”
