There's more to it than Muslim communists running amok in the White House. For those who recall that Boyce & Hart hit tune made famous by The Monkees in early 1968, you can sing along!

Our laws, our civilization, is built upon The Ten Commandments. Satanism has no role whatsoever.
I expect this thing will either not be placed or will be removed before long.

At least this version has a caduceus instead of an enormous erection.
I suppose that’s some small consolation, but...

true, but our laws are also based on freedom of religion, as offensive as the religion may be.

Reminds me of a Stalin or Hitler statue....

It's simply disingenuous to claim that this is a positive statement in favor of Satanism. It is nothing of the sort. This is purely intended as a thumb in the eye of Christianity.
And on the basis of Freedom of Religion, Christians should be outraged. We are under assault.

Fire and brimstone emerges in the news media when we post the 10 commandments yet we hear nothing from the MSM about this atrocity?

Making something up and declaring it a religion doesn’t make it so.

I am not suggesting any impingment on any religion.
By placing the Ten Commandments the state is recognizing the foundation of our civilization, not any religion.
Placing a satanic statute does not recognize the foundation of our civilization, it is ALL about religion. In fact it could be seen as an endorsement of religion, not just that but an endorsement of a specific religion.

It’s not a religion, it’s an anti-religion, in terms of traditional understanding. But what is understanding? What are words, beyond grunts and hoots?

I agree, but that is a very difficult argument to win. courts are loathe to question the sincerity of a claimed religious belief
To: doc1019
...and remember, the media tells us drawing a picture of Mohammed is “provocative”. If that is provocative, this is a flat out frontal assault.

Can they make a statue that has the likeness of my Mohammed cartoon?

While one might be able to argue that Wicca is old, Satanism is a different thing, and it was basically invented about 50 years ago as a social statement. It's a stretch for anyone to call it a religion in any sense.
It's a childish protest against Christianity. Nothing more than that.
