A little before midnight on Saturday, a crowd of around 700 gathered in an old industrial warehouse a few blocks from the Detroit River for what they'd been told was the "largest public satanic ceremony in history." Most of them professed to be adherents of Satanism, that loosely organized squad of the occult that defines itself as a religious group. Others came simply because they were curious. After all, Satanists exist in the popular psyche as those who casually sacrifice goats and impregnate Mia Farrow with Lucifer's child; if this ceremony was indeed unprecedentedly big, who knew what could be in store?
The statue itself is impressive: almost nine feet tall, and weighing in at around a ton. The horned idol sits on a throne adorned with a pentagram, but it is the idol's wings, and not his chair, that curiously evoke the Iron Throne from a certain celebrated HBO fantasy series. He has the jarring horns of a virile ram but the biceps of a guy who lifts four or five times a week. His legs, which are crossed, end not in feet but in hooves. It might seem more menacing if not for the two bronze-statue children standing on either side of him — a girl on his left; a boy on his right; both are looking up at him earnestly.

It looks ridiculous. it’s meant to troll people. It has no meaning what so ever.
If I’m offended, do they have to destroy it?
Ok then. Satan, yes. Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, no.
Do I see a pattern?
I think so. I think that’s the new standard.
free speech for me but not for thee. That is the pattern that you see.
It is meant to offend Christians.
Ummmm... I’d rather not get into the particulars, but my anecdotal observations with those that are either their or a interacting with people of faith/leaders, lead me to believe their is a spiritual revival in Detwaa. A false Idol such as this doesn’t know what it up against...
Why is this offensive piece of trash still standing? That’s what I want to know.
I don’t have an answer other than Freedom of Religion. My guess is you and I would not want visit Salem MA or this Idol.....
Certainly, that's one of them.
I was thinking more along the lines of "anything approving of established or of current order--bad; anything against--good."
And of course, there's always the Church Lady's: "Could it be ....Ssssatan?"
I hope they enjoy eternity with their master.
I recall the story vividly, as I was saddened at the changes in my old hometown. What has brought this up just now?
The general ‘malaise of evil’ spreading over the country via Antifa , and Bathroom Bills?
I was wondering where that Hillary bust ended up.
Isn’t it obvious? A statue was erected in honor of Satan by leftists for no other purpose than to offend Christians. A short time later, the same leftists that defended the erection of that satanic statue are tearing the country apart over statues that offend them. And then there was the whole piss Christ incident. The left defended that offensive piece of trash too. But now all of a sudden, the left feels that offensive art needs to be torn down? It all seems a bit hypocritical. and of course the leftist judges are more than happy to support this hypocrisy.
If it’s nine feet tall and only weighs a ton
I doubt it’s really bronze. probably fiberglass.
Seems to me that C.S.Lewis may be a prophet. From “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Final Battle”:
“It seems, then,” said the Unicorn, “that there is a real Tash, after all.”
“Yes,” said the Dwarf. “And this fool of an Ape, who didn’t believe in Tash, will get more than he bargained for! He called for Tash: Tash has come.”
“Where has it—he—the Thing—gone to?” said Jill.
“North into the heart of Narnia,” said Tirian. “It has come to dwell among us. They have called it and it has come.”
“Ho, ho, ho!” chuckled the Dwarf, rubbing his hairy hands together. “It will be a surprise for the Ape. People shouldn’t call for demons unless they really mean what they say.”
I think an real non-weirdo false flag Christian with the cajones should take a sledge hammer to it and then present a strong case for their actions when given the opportunity. The time has comer to make some sacrifices and fight back.
Somehow I doubt that things that conservatives find offensive will be banned.
Enjoy the Flames!!
