Sadly this event at Tempe Town Toilet aka (Tempe Town Lake) glorifies God, Government, War, the military, and the killing of 100,000+ innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan by the illegal American invasion of both countries.
I guess Tempe is free to glorify government, war, and the killing of innocent civilians by the American Empire, but mixing government and god is illegal both by the Arizona Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. Also not the unsafe use of fire ladder trucks and who is paying for the event? Can we have an atheist anti-war event there for free??
