    Satanic Display Causes Controversy At Boca Raton Holiday Fest…


    8 DECEMBER, 2016


    A Satanic display is causing controversy in Boca Raton on the day the city will celebrate its holiday parade. Now, some local interfaith clergy members are coming together to take a stand. The display is in Sanborn Square off Federal Highway, right next to a nativity scene. At some point between the pentagram going up in the park yesterday and early this morning, it appears someone spray-painted over the symbol and the banner next to it.


    The man behind the display is Preston Smith. The city of Boca Raton gave him a permit to put up the display and the Freedom from Religion Foundation provided a Bill of Rights banner that accompanies the pentagram. In a statement, Smith said in part, “Love trumps hate. satan display.jpg

    How do you feel about this? Most of you know I believe in God (who is good) and satan (who is evil). So seeing something like this which is a symbol of worshiping satan and evil turns my stomach, especially knowing this symbol of evil is right next to a Nativity scene.

    The article says that the man responsible for this claims this is "Love trumping hate." In my opinion it is "evil trumping good."

    I don't want to make this post about religion. To me it is about good and evil...which I believe everyone knows exists. Condoning what is symbolic of evil is the same thing to me as condoning that evil which is being symbolized.

    Are we going to far with freedom? I think we are and I also believe that freedom can be used for good and evil and that lately we are allowing it to be used for more evil than good.

    Freedom is one thing - but sense and responsibility should go along with it
    What is allowed today is 'ludicrous' and definitely not good !

    This has happened in parades as well. Some parades that have religious floats that are absolutely beautiful. Some organization, that believes in Satan, wanted to put a float into a parade like this sign and went to the Parade Council about it. The Parade Council had to approve it, but don't know if the float was in the parade. But, having the Council approve the float is what the organization wanted. The organization said they had Freedom of Religion and their float should be allowed in the parade. The news of this happening made it to our local news stations. A lot of parade-goers stated that if this float is allowed in the parade, they were not going to see the parade.

    Yes, this whole "Freedom" thing has really gotten out of handy today.
