I've got to hand it to the Detroit Satanic Temple people - they are clever

The Satanic Temple’s plan to keep Christian protesters away from statue unveiling totally worked

This Saturday night in Detroit, a crowd of several hundred people gathered to see the unveiling of the Satanic Temple’s newest statue – a 9-foot, 2,000-pound image of Baphomet, the creepy occult idol that used to freak you out in your youth.

In the days and weeks leading up the unveiling, the Temple was receiving all kinds of threats from fundamentalist Christian groups planning to disrupt the event and even burn the place down. But if it weren’t for a rather creative plan recounted by Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves, the event would have certainly been a disaster.

According to Greaves, anyone who made it as far as the security checkpoint at the initial meet-up had to sign a contract handing over their souls to Satan. From there, they would get the actual location of the unveiling, which was miles away.
