When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.

That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.

Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.

“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”

City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.

“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”

After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

    Stupid. Shit posts. And, you can confidently say that because you live in Mexico, you study Mexican culture, you study Mexican religion, and you study Mexican government and law.

    In view of those facts, would you kindly inform me, just how many gruesome deaths have taken place in Mexico in the last ten years? I mean dismemberment, torture, and maybe even ritualistic removal of organs? How many such bodies have been discovered in mass graves? How many more have been put on blatant display on street corners, near churches and/or government offices?

    I won't insist that the death worshipers are making sacrifices again. But, there is a strong indication that some of that shit is related to the old Aztec religion.

    How would you explain Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte, and the rest of her pantheon, otherwise?
