Satan got what he wanted and didn’t notice

KING 5 missed something in their coverage of the Seattle Satanic Temple vs. Clark County.

At issue is Clark County’s “In God We Trust” sign, a sign Seattle Satanists claim is similar to putting up a “Whites Only” sign or a “Christians Only” sign.

To appease Satan, or at least the self-described Satanists, they demand Clark County “balance the exclusive, divisive ‘In God We Trust’ plaque by also installing a plaque with the design proposed by the Satanic Temple. It’s a design featuring the earlier de facto motto of the United States, ‘E Pluribus Unum, From the Many, One.'”

Here’s the thing, the Clark County sign already says that.

Below “In God We Trust” is the seal of the United States. You can read it plainly if you pause at 24 seconds into the KING 5 video.

While the Clark County sign doesn’t have the numerous other symbols the “Satanists” had in mind, it’s clear that the combination hasn’t scared off too many non-believers and isn’t even sectarian. How do I know? All the ingredients are on the back of our $1 bill, but only “In God We Trust” is on the back of our $20 bills – yet no one seems to prefer to receive the single dollar.
