Could it be...

...SATAN!?!

Drive around at night this time of year, and it won't take long until you'll find a display of lights. But one local light display is upsetting residents.

It's not a light display you'd expect this time of year. "I was just horrified, horrified," Deborah Jones said of the first time she saw the sign.

Horrified! Horrifed she tells ya! So what was it that shaped her mouth into an OMFG? I already told you: SATAN!

Bright red letters saying "The Devil's Inn is closed until Judgement Day", along with a message reading "Satan Satan Hear My Plea, Satan Satan Come To Me" illuminate the side of Highway 19-E each night.

Well, that's not exactly my first choice in lawn decor, but to each his own.

While his decorative choices may rub some people the wrong way, he tells News 5, it's just his personal form of expression. "It is my freedom of speech, my freedom of religion for these cars out here. They don't mean nothing. They're just a chunk of lousy metal," Blevins explained.

But with a controversial message in plain sight, some who drive by don't see it that way. "Knowing that a child could ask a parent is Satan really there? Is Satan in his home? What is a parent supposed to say to a child," Jones told News 5 Friday.

Oh, I don't know... how 'bout this: "Satan isn't a real creature, honey. He's a made-up figure called an 'allegory.' It serves the purposes of reminding people that there are consequences for doing the wrong thing, and that those consequences may hurt friends, family and innocent people. The man who put up those signs is just trying to get a reaction from people by making them angry; that's because he has a problem that makes him crave attention, even bad attention. The best thing to do is just ignore it."

Or they could do this:

We're told some have even tried to take the sign apart themselves.

I guess turning the other cheek and tolerance were last year's vogue. This year they're going for judgmental moralism.
