Reno Satanic‘s Jason Miller led the short innovation during the Washoe County Commission meeting on Tuesday, January 16th, leaving many in the chamber shocked and caused one member to walk out before the invocation was finished. This is purportedly the first time such an invocation has ever been allowed in the state.
The ‘prayer’ lasted nearly two minutes, speaking of Lucifer and Satan throughout and peppered with some statements given in Latin. Miller spoke:
In the name of the eternal rebel against tyrannical authority, in the spirit of your nature of the natural world, the freedoms of thought and expression, unprejudiced intellectual inquiry, economics and social progress to bring influence and guiding actions of nobility and justice to the decisions made in this chamber today, to act with might and the undertaking of responsibility that may lay ahead of this body before us today.
The New Age is dawning that these decisions will play a role in. For our liberation, for here and now is our day of joy, here and now is our opportunity. May we seize this glorious day and its enchanting nights to celebrate the wonders of the natural world, as we are all part of its boundless mysteries. Hail, Satan!
Some retorted by shouting the name Jesus Christ in disgust and appalment after Miller finished.
Like most professing Satanic groups, Reno Satanic claims they are atheist and use Satan as a mascot. Their website states: “We do not believe in an actual Satan nor God. Many coming from a religious background or from the Western Tradition understand Satan as a symbol of rebellion against tyranny and the unjust. We value the idea of Satan in the sense of the Adversary.”
This Reno noted that ‘Reno Satanic has marched in the annual Pride parade and done outreach for those living unsheltered in the region.’
Washoe County traditionally has not had invocations but it was agreed upon last summer to start introducing them. It was introduced by Commissioner Clara Andriola and the rest of the Commission voted unanimously in favor. But ironically, it was Androila who stormed out of the room when this satanic prayer was read.
As Washoe County serves constituents of all faiths, and expresses no preference of faith, the resolution and corresponding report outlines a set of guidelines to provide an opportunity for representatives from the faith community to offer an invocation on a monthly basis. No invocation shall be used to lobby or request funding or support.
The Commission said at the time
The Commission was divided on the satanic invocation.
Andriola wanted to make it publicly clear that she did not appreciate this prayer and then requested that the rules be tightened. Nate Edwards of the district attorney’s office explained that “The federal law is that you don’t have to open your floor for invocations. If you do open your floor for invocations, then federal law is that you have to let everybody have a turn signing up. So I guess you take the good with the bad.”
He added that satanic invocations are part of a trend.
Commissioner Mike Clark corroborated with Edwards and stated:
Commissioner Andriola asked for the invocations and now we’ve got this unintended consequence. You’ll notice, she got up and left the room when this happened. The rest of us had to sit here and listen to that crap.
At the end of the day, my faith is stronger than that. He can say what he wants, but he’s not going to convert me to his program. But, as the district attorney Mr. Edwards said, when you open it up, this is what you get – so own it.
Former commission candidate and chief sheriff’s deputy Tom Green said afterwards he strongly disagrees with it, but it was “rather appropriate” because of the constant opposition against so many other things the county does.
We know there’s a struggle for the soul of this nation, a struggle between light and dark, a struggle between good and evil. This fight occurs at every level of the nation so why wouldn’t it be happening in Washoe County?

[2] For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. [4] They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Proverbs 28:2-4
Indeed, this is a “trend” that we are seeing crop up more and more throughout the U.S., where the glorification of everything that is wrong and evil is on display.
The government can only do so much, and they should keep a hands-off approach. It is the duty of the PEOPLE to maintain the social standards, decency, righteousness, truth, and so forth. But when that falls apart then you get the government who has to legislate all this stuff; and it all snowballs and cascades downwards from there.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

America is finished! America has become the enemy of God, the enemy of the King James Bible, the enemy of children, the enemy of animals, the enemy of those who are weak and helpless, the enemy of the just and moral, and the enemy of numerous nations.
Having a prayer to Satan in that federal courtroom is fitting to be honest as America has become satanic to the hilt! Although he’s not a true satanist, true satanists are false prophets and false teachers posing as men of God, however he is indeed one of Satan’s workers.
so . . . they don’t believe in him, but hail him? ummm . . . he’ll find out real soon – when it’s too late, that he made the WRONG decision.
That is correct, Born Again. And America will find out sooner than soon that she made the wrong decision to reject the King James Bible and the true Jesus Christ thereof and become surpassingly evil.
Right now, things seem mundane and alright hunky dory, but this is just the calm before the storm.
There was hardly a peep of backlash at that pig’s crap, now it some man got up there and started to read out of a KJV1611 Bible; thered been a riot and screaming and threats everywhere. Not to mention that it be stricken from the record.
Nope; just ok dupde do and let’s move on, says that dumb leader.
You’re right, David.
Somebody who is a true believer reads from the King James Bible and tells people to repent and flee from the wrath to come, and Americans will lose their marbles and demand he either be put in prison or a mental hospital.
On the other hand, a devil-worshipping sorcerer says a satanic prayer and it’s “freedom of speech.”
America’s days are numbered and America is going to pay the piper!
Jacob, I believe you made an error in your opening line: “A Nevada county is under scrutiny after the founder a licensed Satanist group led the opening prayer with an innovation that ended with him saying “hail, Satan!’”
Shouldn’t the word, “innovation” be “invocation”?
Whoops, sorry about that.

Is a typical lie from the father of lies whose minions have no idea what sort of hell they have been admitted too. We should pray for them to have eyes to see and ears to hear the truth so they can be delivered from eternal death.
Americans have been tricked by satan to pledge allegiance to a flag and to believe a graven image called the US Constitution somehow protects them. There are many forms of idolatry and all idols come from Satan. Most of what he does is subtle, done in secret and sold as good.
We are called to be His Light, to be at peace with our neighbors. No matter what, God the Father is in control of both good and evil and those of us who are saved should be thankful truth is being exposed. This event will be used for the good at some point.
To clarify because I cant find an edit button, We are called to be His (Jesus Christ’s) light.
Just another sign of the times. Anything goes in the world now, except as David Aarons said, unless the bible is quoted. Yes, they’re going to hell in a handbasket very soon and it’s very sad for them.
Maybe some of them will accept the Lord in the Tribulation I hope my children do since they won’t listen to me, I pray they do.
