Satanic Temple in the U.S. To Clean Up Highways In Order To Promote Message of Satanic Civic Pride

The Satanic Temple in the U.S. is launching a campaign to clean up New York's highways to "promote a message of Satanic civic pride and social responsibility."

The Satanists have set up anIndiegogo page to raise the $15,000 they need to adopt a stretch of New York highway for two years "by way of litter cleanup and landscaping."

If they succeed, the Department of Transportation will have to put up a sign acknowledging The Satanic Temple as the adopters.

"We call on all people to support the Satanic Temple in this effort to engage their community in a positive, productive manner," the church said.

To drum up awareness for the campaign, the church performed a "pink mass" on Sunday over the grave of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Jr.'s mother.

The ritual, which involves chants and gay makeouts over the grave, aims to make deceased's spirit turn homosexual.
