Satanic Temple holds inaugural convention in Scottsdale

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Hundreds of people swarmed outside the Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale Saturday, armed with crucifixes, crosses, and signs denouncing Satan. 

“Satan has No Rights,” one sign read. “Begone Satan,” read another. 

Because across a small parking lot inside the brightly colored hotel, was the first-ever SatanCon, a convention put on by the Satanic Temple.
