Christians Offended By Democrat Statue In Iowa Capitol

DES MOINES, IA — Christians in Iowa and across the nation are outraged after a Democrat statue was unveiled at the state's Capitol Building.

"I believe in freedom of speech and religion, but this just goes too far," said Gov. Kim Reynolds to reporters. "Sick, disturbing, Democrat displays have no place in the house where state laws are passed. I'm horrified."

Sources say a local Democrat non-profit is responsible for the frightening statue, which they say is a true representation of everything Democrats proudly stand for. "We have a right to express our Democratic views," said a spokesperson for the group. "We will not be intimidated into removing our altar or our severed goat head from government buildings. This is America!"

The rest of the statement was not recorded, as the spokesperson's eyes rolled back into his head and he began uttering an ancient incantation in a dead eldritch tongue.

Respected Christian thought leader Phil Vischer was quick to defend the statue. "This artistic rendering of Democrat values represents everything beautiful about America," said Vischer. "If you object to this or express any concern whatsoever, you are a dangerous Christian Nationalist who worships political power."

At publishing time, Iowa Republican legislators calmed their frustrated constituents by setting up a golden statue of Trump in the Capitol.

Once again, I was baffled by a Babylon Bee article, but once again there was substance behind it. The statement about Democrat values seemed a bit harsh until I considered the fate of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act linked to below. The picture in the Baby Harriet article is disturbing. Trump may have appointed three of the justices that overturned Roe and Casey, but a round of applause would seem sufficient.

Former Congressional Candidate Destroys Satanic Altar at Iowa State Capitol: Report

According to USA Today, the Satanic Temple of Iowa “placed with state permission a small altar on the first floor of the Iowa State Capitol.”

The Post Millennial quoted Cassidy as telling the Republic Sentinel that he destroyed the altar on December 14 to “awaken Christians to the anti-Christian acts promoted by our government.”

The Satanic Temple

TST stands alone because we are the only entity that can assert a religious liberty that terminating a pregnancy is a central part of a religious ritual that encourages self-empowerment and affirms bodily autonomy.

H.R. 26: Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr26/text?adlt=strict&toWww=1&redig=CC7BEBFFF32F48ADB9D0825ACEB90034

Consider that by a 220-210 margin, the House of Representatives on passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with only one Democrat voting in favor. So, with only one exception these legislators establish a line for defense of abortion within their Democrat Party that includes those born alive despite attempted abortion.

According to the logic for voting against this bill, an infant breathing air on its own outside the womb is not a human person. Medical personnel are not only not derelict in failing to provide care, but instead must murder the baby. For Democrats abortion becomes an unbounded sacrament.

Now read the bill and see if that is not the most reasonable interpretation. Clearly, we can’t just all get along.

Baby Harriet’s body was found in medical waste. Police deny there was any wrongdoing.

The sign displayed by pro-abortion advocates saying, “My body my decision” could just as well express the sentiment of Baby Harriet as a counter point to the Satanic Temple, if she had not been thrown out with the other medical waste.

“Once again, I was baffled by a Babylon Bee article, but once again there was substance behind it”

Once again, what The Bee has done is crossed over from satire into REAL reality.

Just goes to show how absolutely LOST and absurd the world has become.

According to USA Today, the Satanic Temple of Iowa “placed with state permission a small altar on the first floor of the Iowa State Capitol.”

Judges 6:
29 And they said to one another, “Who has done this thing?” And after they had searched and inquired, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.”

30 Then the men of the town said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has broken down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah beside it.”

31 But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been broken down.”
32 Therefore on that day Gideon[a] was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he broke down his altar.
***
Let satan plead for satan because one has broken down his altar! Come on satan! show yourself weeping and wailing for your altar!

Baphomet? Was Molech unavailable? He’s more suited to the democrats’ child murder and mutiliation policies

Here is a challenge Christians. Go visit the statue and its followers and try to evangelize them. Remember that our faith is strong and there will always be people who hate us.

My opinion: this movement and movements like it only exist to counter the Christian faith. They have nothing to offer except that they hate and apposed to everything related to Christianity. So, Christianity defines their Satanism.

Seems like a very week reason to exist.
