LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Dozens attended a rally held by the Satanic Temple at the Arkansas State Capitol on Thursday.
The rally comes after the Arkansas legislature approved the placement of a Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds.
During the Satanic Temple's Rally for the First Amendment, a more than 8-feet-tall Baphomet statue was unveiled.
Those against the rally also attended, telling KATV they had hoped to spread God's love.
Following the installation of the Ten Commandments monument, the Satanic Temple filed a lawsuit to have its statue placed on the same grounds in the name of religious pluralism and the First Amendment.
During the 2017 legislative session, the Satanic Temple sent a letter to Arkansas legislators asking for lawmakers to sponsor a bill that would allow a Baphomet statue on Capitol grounds, but not one lawmaker responded.
The rally had five speakers, including the Satanic Temple's spokesperson and co-founder, and was held at the Arkansas State Capitol from 1 to 3 p.m.(snip)
Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert released the following statement in response to the scheduled protest:

Where’s a full pallet of white stucco paint when you need it?
Well, it is the place that gave “birth” to the Clintonians....and foisted them upon the rest of America. How evil is that!!!!
To be fair, it was only displayed for a few hours. There is no resolution for the permanent display of such obscenity.
There are those who are offended by everything Confederate. They want ALL remembrances of the South and the Confederacy wipe off the face of the map. Well, THIS offends me. I demand its immediate removal from the ground of the Arkansas state capitol.
How bout C4 instead?
they are anti-christian atheist.
never have found a satanist who believes in god or the devil.
Because that is not satan that is his daughter.
The Ten Commandments in stone disappeared 2500 years ago, yet it still drive the unbelievers raving mad today. It is not even an idol to be worshiped, but twelve civilizing laws.
This brass statue is nothing but a piece of brass, no more no less. It cannot speak, so cannot bless, curse, walk OR run. There is nothing to be afraid of in it. This half goat-half man should be mocked for what it is, and anyone groveling before it should be mocked and ridiculed for worshiping a chunk of metal. It is Nothing.
Soon some wino will find there is value in knocking off a hand or horn to buy a bottle of booze, and this “Piece of Brass” will go the way of all Nehustan.
So now Little Rock has a monument to the codification of moral and social standards that transcend the brief lives of mortal men, and also a monument to a handful of assholes who are addicted to making fools of themselves in public.
it appears to be much larger than the ‘10 commandments’ display, so just for giggles, and turning their own game on them, it should be challenged as too large, they gotta make it smaller than the primary display.
And no thrones. That promotes monarchies over democracies. And no children. They aren’t old enough for reasoned thought and the statue evokes child slavery. And no snakes. Children are frightened of snakes. No wings, either, and no hoofs - that’s misappropriation of vulture and llama cultures - the vulture culture being sacred to Tibetan Buddists and the llama culture being sacred to the Andeans.
And, last but not least, in the spirit of explaining Confederate statues, there needs to be a plaque prominently displayed describing satinists as a fringe group not meeting the definition of an established and recognized religion and pretty much laughed at by everyone.
Back to the drawing board, dudes, and come back with something more politically correct.
The artist even snuck Web Hubbell into the statue.
...but we cannot fly a Confederate flag over a Confederate cemetary in South Carolina.
Told ya. You can’t have it both ways.
Easy on that religious pluralism. You tryin’ to piss folks off?
Is is a statue of Bill and Hill, as the leader of a Witches Coven, with daggers and blood dripping from a young underage virgin, lying dead at their feet?
