MARINE SGT: I'M WITH SATAN NOW And I Need Your Vote

Source: TMZ

A former Marine sergeant who worked in the Aerospace industry and the California Dept. of Corrections is running for the California State Senate. He's also a member of the Satanic Temple.

Steve Hill is the first political candidate in California who publicly affiliates himself with the Temple. In fact, he even helped organize it.
Hill says he's an atheist who fights for true religious freedom, saying, "This includes preserving the right to believe or disbelieve as one sees fit."

He's running as a democrat. And you thought Satan was a republican.

Plus, Satan seems like a much nicer guy than Yahweh. Think of all the mass murdering that a-hole of a deity has done since he was made up 2,000+ years ago.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was in Aviation Ordnance like me. You have to be a crazy son of a bitch to work around explosives all day.

When one takes part in organized violence against other
human beings, one is indeed in the devil's employ.

UFO's are real.
The Air Force doesn't exist.










There was a "Retired Air Force" sticker, too.

10. An authoritarian who thinks he's a rebel - he needs therapy, not votes.

The Marines and Dept of Corrections are two of the most authoritarian organizations there are.
