Police in Concord are investigating after someone vandalized a Satanic Temple holiday display at the State House.

The statue, which the city sanctioned after explaining it was allowed because of the First Amendment, was unveiled Saturday night and was damaged shortly after.

Visitors to the State House on Tuesday could see a Christmas tree, nativity scene and Bill of Rights display, but the Satanic Temple holiday display was taken down after it was damaged.

The display depicted the pagan deity Baphomet and the Satanic Temple's seven fundamental tenets. In one hand, the figure held an apple to honor Isaac Newton and celebrate science and the pursuit of knowledge.

I hope the cops don't look very hard for the hero or heroes that did this.

In fact, I hope they are acquitted of all charges.

I would consider it an “act of God” and move on.

Satanists seem totally crazy and just trying to get attention. Giving it to them makes the rest of us crazy. It should never have been allowed as a legitimate cult.

Well done! Some might suggest a cleansing fire. I don’t know.

Yes, is it really vandalism if you take apart a tribute to Discord and Chaos?

I'm wondering if these folks will be punished more than whoever vandalized the synagogue in Temple, NH (same state). Some religions are more equal than others.

To: Tell It Right

It was Temple Israel in Portsmouth, NH. Not Temple, NH. Which is a very small town in the Monadnock region.

Portsmouth, NH is a small city right on seacoast of the NH/ME border. It is one of the oldest places on the east coast. Settled in 1605. John Paul Jones lived there.

The statue, which the city sanctioned after explaining it was allowed because of the First Amendment...

The statue was not allowed "because of the First Amendment." It was allowed because the local officials are weak and corrupt. If they had the courage and integrity to do their jobs correctly they would say, "No Satan statue. Satan is the enemy of God and he has no place in our town."

No it wasn't. This is just more "interpretation" by our idiot court system, and they deliberately got it wrong.

First amendment does *NOT* give equal footing to all other religions. Christianity was the default religion of the US Constitution. What the 1rst amendment does is to protect various denominations of CHRISTIANITY from being discriminated against by other denominations of CHRISTIANITY in the Federal government.

Their usage of the word "religion" means *DENOMINATION* in the context of what they wrote.

The US Constitution exempts the president from working on the Sabbath and it expressly acknowledges Jesus when it concludes "Year of our Lord"...

People have taken it to mean any religion is protected, but that is *NOT* the intention of the 1rst amendment. That was *NOT* the intent of the states which ratified it.

The framers would have beaten and arrested anyone who dared put up such a vile abomination on public land, or private land for that matter.

The American people of 1789 would *NOT TOLERATE* Satanists in any form.

IIRC, an American veteran can choose this emblem on his burial headstone.

Someone should tell the cops that a drone destroyed it. They will immediately lose interest.

What would Jesus do regarding a satanic temple existing in the mist of him preaching the Word of the Lord? I doubt he would tolerate it.

One would think that destruction is a sacrament of the religion.
