    So that's Florida for you then.

    Inglis Mayor Carolyn Risher said September 11 terror attacks inspired her to compose a proclamation banning Satan from her town.

    INGLIS, Florida (CNN) -- If he's thinking of visiting Florida's west coast, Satan might want to steer clear of Inglis.

    The mayor of this small fishing village in Florida has declared the Prince of Darkness persona non grata -- in essence, telling him to go to the devil.

    "Satan, ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just, is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of Inglis," Mayor Carolyn Risher says in a proclamation, which was issued on official town stationery.

    Risher said the events of September 11 inspired her to pursue the proclamation, which the Town Commission supports.

    "It gave me the inspiration that these people need to be ready if something like this was to happen to the town of Inglis. We need to be ready to meet our maker," she said Tuesday on CNN's "American Morning."

    She said there are people in Inglis who needed to repent.

    "If our churches band together and pray, our nation and our town can be a godly nation and a godly town," she said. ...

    I saw the report on CNN Headline News this afternoon, and the people in this town look like individuals who gather in one of those "faith-healer" circus tents.

    Can this Mayor use this proclamation in advertising her reelection campaign?

    "I successfully cast out an invisible being that no organized religion in man's history has been capable of defeating... all in saving some small town in Hickville USA yada yada yada."

    Pathetic.

    The true Kingdom of God is located in your heart, not an organization of hypocrites.

    I have partied with Satan a few times and I can assure you he is good for the economy of a town. The mayor of Inglis needs to rethink this position.
