Evil-Free Zone, next 5 miles.
Okay, here's what happened:
- The mayor of Inglis, Florida felt inspired to ban Satan from her town by writing a proclamation against the Evil One on official town stationery. These she placed by the entrances to her town.
- A local woman (and then the ACLU) took offense, saying the ban (in its implied officiality) violated separation of Church and State.
- Local Christians took offense at their offense, claiming discrimination against Christians. The mayor says it's her "freedom of expression."
Hint: If you want to express yourself, use typing paper. On town stationery, you can't ban anthropomorphic personifications.
