Satanic Temple's nativity display in New Hampshire destroyed, Dem rep calls for new display

[Michie]

New Hampshire state Rep Ellen Read reportedly described herself as an inactive member of The Satanic Temple​

A satanic "nativity" display involving an occult statue erected on Concord city property near the New Hampshire State Capitol was destroyed shortly after several vandalism incidents last week. Now, Democratic state Rep. Ellen Read is saying that the temple "probably should" get to erect a new display in its place.

“I think they probably should, because I think the vandalism and the hatefulness shouldn’t go without a response. But it’s up to them," Read said, the Catholic News Agency reported.

Read told the outlet she came up with the idea to suggest that The Satanic Temple (TST) put up the Christmas display, which was a statue of Baphomet – despite significant pushback from local officials – arguing that a Catholic groups' Nativity scene of Jesus should not be the only decoration there. She also said she is a member of TST but has not participated in any of its meetings or events.

A new display is confirmed to be going up, donated by the Salem, MA branch of the church. It’s the one that was on display at the Catholic Church last year.

They only do it to mock and annoy Christians. I mean, it is their right, yes, but it's still rather childish, in my humble opinion.
