‘Child-Friendly’ Satan Statue for OK State Capitol Awaits Final Judgment

It may seem absurd—or given the moral state of the nation, appropriate—but the grounds committee for the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Preservation Commission, has been asked by The Satanic Temple, a group from New York, to place a privately-funded statue of Satan, complete with pentagram and two fawning children at Lucifer’s knee, on the Capitol grounds near a monument of the Ten Commandments.

In the statue, which is to be cast in bronze and is near completion, Satan is depicted as “Baphomet” with a goat’s head and horns, and there is a boy on his left and a girl on his right.

“We decided to go with that because it is a fairly traditional character,” Lucien Greaves, spokesman for The Satanic Temple, told KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City. “It also offers a lap that visitors can come to sit on, have their picture taken with.” …

The “upside-down” pentagram was the one associated with devil worship. That notion came from Eliphas Levi, apparently. The goat’s head appeared in the 1800s.

Interesting.

Sounds much like the neo-pagans who parade at Stonehenge; their beliefs are a new age mishmash without much historical basis.

I have long since come to look for the worst aspects/think the worst about liberals and associate them accordingly. That way, when they find new levels below what my imagination can conjure up, I am never disappointed and my disgust fully justified.

I guarantee this POS gets installed in OK there will be a tornado or lightning strike that smokes this thing and does no damage to the 10 Commandments. Bet on it.

Church steeples get hit by lightening all the time and solid, conservative Christian towns get wiped out by tornadoes with regularity as well. What do you infer from these incidents?

The long (though dead) influence of Saul Alinsky. Obama’s training manual, “Rules for Radicals”, dedicated to Lucifer.

Alinsky, Obama, Satan. The eternal triangle of marxism and hatred?

That clears up the mystery of where the next F-5 will strike, I guess.

It's all a crap shoot. It's weather, lightning hits high points, tornado's are random. Remember when AlGore used to have his "global warming summits" that were blasted by snows and record cold? Same thing. God has a sense of humor. These idiots are really pushing the "testing God" envelope, however.

My $0.03 cents worth (inflation).

I wonder if Liberals would be upset if someone made an Obama Head that went on top of the Statue.

I would think it would make them proud.
