Devil worshipper­s sue over state flag

-

SATANISTS say they will sue Mississipp­i if the phrase: “In God We

Trust,” appears on their new state flag.

Lawmakers there have moved to redesign it to remove the Confederat­e battle flag – which is now seen as taboo, thanks to the BLM movement.

But Devil- worshipper­s at the Satanic Temple wrote to Mississipp­i Attorney General Lynn Fitch and insisted if the state “is going to place a religious phrase on its flag, it should include reference to Satan”.

Under legislatio­n Gov Tate Reeves signed on June 30, the new state flag’s design cannot have any Confederat­e imagery and must include the phrase: “In God We Trust.”

Voters in Mississipp­i will be asked to decide on the new state flag design in a November ballot.
