'Snaketivity' display set up at Michigan Capitol draws supporters, opponents

'Snaketivity' display set up at Michigan Capitol draws supporters, opponents | MLive.com:
Update
"There have been several more people who have come to the Capitol for the displays.
People were there from two different churches to support the Nativity and others to check out and support "snaketivity."
Michigan State Police Lt. Brody Boucher, who is the commander of Capitol security, said there haven't been any incidents.
The number of people picked up throughout the day, Boucher said, with sometimes between 10-15 people there at a time.
But there has not been a long-term, large scale rally.
LANSING, MI — There was more curiosity than outrage Sunday morning in front of the Michigan Capitol, where a group called the Satanic Temple set up a display to counter a Nativity scene.
Instead of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, this "snaketivity" display had a red serpent, a pentagram with a goat head and a cross with “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift of All” written across it."
