As Christians in Vermont celebrate Holy Week, Vermonters sympathetic to other religious figures are actively proclaiming their support for causes opposed by most Christians: abortion and prostitution.
The names of Satan and Ishtar, which appear in the Bible as supernatural beings in opposition to the God of the Jews and Christians, recently have been seen and heard in Vermont in support of legalized abortion and prostitution.
Tom Kelly, prayer coordinator for the Barre 40 Days for Life campaign, reports a Satanic Temple car sticker on a Planned Parenthood supporter car was in plain sight.
“A person apparently affiliated with Planned Parenthood (based upon what she has said, I think she may be in a supervisory position at the clinic) parked her car adjacent to the telephone pole near where some of us stand to pray. The vehicle has [Vermont license plates and] several stickers displayed in full view and near any person who might be engaged in prayer on Highland Avenue.
“Here are some photographs of the stickers which I would describe as (1) an obscene cartoon depicting a female body part including a cartoon figure display of the ‘middle-finger’ salute; (2) two ‘The Satanic Temple’ stickers; (3) a sticker depicting a fish (like the Christian fish) with the initials CTHULHU written on the fish; and (4) an ‘I Stand with Planned Parenthood’ sticker.”
“A quick internet search provides information about The Satanic Temple (TST) at their website. The TST website claims TST does not espouse worship or believe in Satan or the supernatural. However TST provides instructions on how to start a TST “congregation.” They offer “ordination”, officiate “weddings”, and members have been known to participate in the Black Mass, Unbaptism ritual, and Destruction and Defiance rituals. They promote blasphemy. They promote abortion.”
“I hasten to add that, of course, we cannot know or judge the mind or heart of the individual displaying the stickers,” Kelly added.
Cthulhu is the name of a deity in a 1930’s book of fiction in a book by H.P. Lovecraft.
Also, The Ishtar Collective, an advocacy organization of sex workers and members of the LGBTQ community, was a prominent, paid supporter of legalized prostitution last year in Burlington. It received funding from Decriminalize Sex Work, a national group led by two founders of the Marijuana Policy Project, which successfully advocated for marijuana legalization in Vermont.
Members of the Ishtar Collective also have appeared at State House press conferences this year in support of a bill to decriminalize prostitution statewide.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, “Ishtar was the protectress of prostitutes and the patroness of the alehouse. Part of her cult worship probably included temple prostitution. Her popularity was universal in the ancient Middle East.”

I read the profiles on the one website… no comment.
Meantime, be aware that “kiddos” is a term not being picked up by the algorithms currently.
Do you all now see the Evil we are facing? If not, we are all doomed. No, you do not put things like that on your car unless you are a believer, follower or worshiper. You cannot say that you do not know the thinking of a person with such things on their car, it is VERY EVIDENT. God, protect us from these people, please. God says thou shall have no other GOD before me. Do you all see how that is going now? Do you see how this satanic and wiccan apostasy is destroying the last best place on earth. Nice world we live in now, NOT.
Also stop looking up stuff on the internet. Go to a local library or better yet try reading the Bible. All the info about these demons are listed there and how we need to stay away from them. Try getting a copy of the Book of Enoch , read Isaiah, then read Daniel and Revelations that will tell you how this will all end.

You make some good points and I think we largely agree. Take a look at the original email which I copied and pasted below) and from which Guy produced a portion of this article. As I pointed out in that email, the internet search revealed what The Satanic Temple says about itself – for example, that the organization claims it does not believe in the supernatural or Satan. But, as I noted in the email – Satan is the Father of all lies. So, I agree with you (and pointed out originally) we need not and should not accept or believe TST’s claims.
Vermont has become a place of filth.
Abortion capital of the world! (did you know that aborted babies have the best blood to keep you young?)
Oh, did I just OFFEND you? Well, let me go one step further: We also are the greatest place to commit suicide! Come one come all!!!! We just won’t mention that after we assist your suicide, we will ransack your now dead carcass for organs.
Even better: If killing and maiming just don’t do it for you…come here to pay people for the most disgusting sex acts you could possible want.
AAAAAAnd…if you order now, you also can get a personal invitation to the nearest satanic worship site. (dead babies not included).
And then…be proud that this state is what THEY consider “tolerant”.
Don’t forget to include sex change hormones and surgeries that increase suicide rates ten years after.
God has not abandoned America, Americans have abandoned God and his Laws.
I disagree. The elite and those that think like them, they are evil, nothing more. Read about Lot. He was a Godly man who was saved because he was a believer and follower of GOD and did what God told him to do. There are many of us who follow what God/Jesus has said. Read the book of Enoch, Isaiah, and Daniel. to see who is gonna get theirs. God was very clear about all of it including what he is going to do to people who preform or have abortions.
God will forgive if you get on your knees and ask and NEVER DO IT AGAIN. as well as do right by him and his children (that’s us). But if you think this is all OK, then I hope you like being uncomfortable cause that’s what is coming your way.
“We cannot know or judge the mind or the heart of the individual displaying the stickers”. I disagree there, Mr. Kelly. According to the New Testament, we indeed can and should judge the mind and the corresponding acts of the individual as they have been freely relayed to all. The only thing we cannot judge is the state of their soul – due to only God’s unique ability see the soul, coupled with the vast degree of mercy & forgiveness He has shown He imparts.
And of course, all sinners must repent and request forgiveness.
This doesn’t surprise me Vt. has been overtaken in our government by agenda seeking, non-Christian values, people that think killing babies and mutilation of children is the moral high road!
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Planned Parenthood is sadly not the only place the LGBTQ… is being promoted with exposure to such things. All should see the recent interview with a Vergennes mother of 2 early elementary students, Tara Ferf Jentek, giving testimony about an outsude group of women from an unacredited group to the schools to teach sex education. They bring in baby dolls with full genitilia to explain to kindergardners the full range of the LGBTQ 52 sex types.

These Satanic types are way goofier and nerdy than you think, especially the libby feminist types. Don’t fear them in any supernatural sense. You might choose to call them agents of Satan, but they are absolute dorkball atheists. The irony here is that they perfectly embody that which they loudly proclaim to oppose, in all their sanctimonious lefty lunacy. Total nitwits, albeit… baby-killing nitwits.
The most dangerous place to be in today’s America is the womb…with 65,000,000 terminated, the chances for an innocent to come to term and live a full life is marginal. What a sad and Godless reality. And Vermont has perpetuated this gruesome practice by passing this euphemistic murder law…”reproductive autonomy”…don’t be fooled, mankind, this is pure evil…Bernie et al. is satan and ishtar rolled into one…Vermont is saturated with corrupt and twisted ‘leaders’ who are the epitome of the dark side. Stay the course, we will prevail…
For context, here is the complete unedited email to participants in the 40 Days for Life campaign. On this Good Friday we are reminded He suffered and died so that all Mankind would be saved. Needless to say, we are all unworthy and in need of forgiveness. God Help Us:
“Hope to see you tomorrow, Sunday, April 2, 2:45pm to 3:30pm for our final rally for this spring campaign.
Incidentally, a person apparently affiliated (based upon what she has said, I think she may be the clinic director or manager) with Planned Parenthood parked her car adjacent to the telephone pole near where some of us stand to pray. The vehicle has several stickers displayed in full view and near any person who might be engaged in prayer on Highland Avenue. Here are some photographs of the stickers which I would describe as (1) an obscene cartoon depicting a female body part including a cartoon figure display of the “middle-finger” salute; (2) two “The Satanic Temple” stickers; (3) a sticker depicting a fish (like the Christian fish) with the initials CTHULHU written on the fish; and (4) an “I Stand with Planned Parenthood” sticker.
A quick internet search provides information about “The Satanic Temple” (TST) at their website. Of course, as we know, Satan is the Father of all lies and we should keep this in mind whenever considering the statements of an organization called The Satanic Temple. The TST website claims TST does not espouse worship or believe in Satan or the supernatural. However, TST provides instructions on how to start a TST “congregation.” They offer “ordination”, officiate “weddings”, and members have been known to participate in the Black Mass, Unbaptism ritual, and Destruction and Defiance rituals. They promote blasphemy. They promote abortion. I hasten to add that, of course, we cannot know or judge the mind or heart of the individual displaying the stickers.
I provide this information as further evidence for the need for prayer. We are all sinners and we must repent, each one of us. We pray for all abortions advocates and abortion workers.
“O God, our heavenly Father, give us the courage and wisdom as we seek to eradicate the evil in our society. Help us to realize that your divine Spirit alone can change hearts and minds so that all your human creatures may enjoy the fullness of life intended for them. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.” 40 Days for Life Devotional Guide, Day 28 (excerpt).”

2 Timothy 3 KJV
Evil in the Last Days
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
All Scripture is God-Breathed
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
But will Pete Welch be an advocate for Satan and Ishtar?
