The Satanic Temple is going further south than Georgia and they're not there to fiddle around with any crossroads soul contest. The Satanic Temple checked its list, twice and found that it is within its rights to put up a crudely made diorama satanic "snaketivity" scene next to the state's Nativity scene in the entry rotunda of Florida's Capitol.

According to most reports, the Satanic Temple is a New York-based group that has nothing to do with devil worship. The group had small legal hurdles with a state official over where to put the display, but other than that it went largely uncontested.

Satanic Temple member John Porgal, from Tallahassee, Fla., said the Satanic Temple would take to the courts if the snaketivity scene was blocked, but the group would have dropped the attempt if the Florida Prayer Network and International House of Prayer Tallahassee skipped their own nativity scenes.

"If the nativity scene never came in here in the first place we would never had done this. We don't want to be insulting. We just want our rights, the separation of church and states or equal rights," Porgal told the Tampa Bay Times.

Porgal is also a member of the American Atheists of Tallahassee and says the name Satanic Temple does not imply a belief in Left Hand Path traditions.

"The Satanic Temple does not worship the devil in any way, shape or form," Porgal said.

A proposal to raise a satanic statue caused controversy at Oklahoma's Capitol. The devilish concept has now made its way to Michigan.

Jex Blackmore of the Detroit Satanic Temple told the Lansing State Journal‎ "We heard the Nativity scene was being considered, and we really felt that a singular voice shouldn't be the only voice represented by the Capitol and by our government, considering the fact that there are a diversity of beliefs and ways to celebrate the holidays."

But there is some blowback. Sen. Rick Jones told the Lansing State Journal "The Satanic Temple in Detroit purposely put up their display during this season to be offensive. It's their First Amendment right. I'm going to ignore them, and I'm going to remember the light of the season, not the darkness. ... People have the right to be offended, and they have the right to protest and that goes both ways. Hopefully, our display encourages and inspires others who have a minority belief to speak out."
