OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A satanic group unveiled designs Monday for a 7-foot-tall statue of Satan it wants to put at the Oklahoma state Capitol, where a Ten Commandments monument was placed in 2012.

Fla. rejects request to install Satanic display Associated Press The New York-based Satanic Temple formally submitted its application to a panel that oversees the Capitol grounds, including an artist's rendering that depicts Satan as Baphomet, a goat-headed figure with horns, wings and a long beard that's often used as a symbol of the occult. In the rendering, Satan is sitting in a pentagram-adorned throne with smiling children next to him.

"The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond," temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said in a statement. "The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation."

The Satanic Temple maintains that the Oklahoma Legislature's decision to authorize a privately funded Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol opened the door for its statue. The Ten Commandments monument was placed on the north steps of the building in 2012, and the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has sued to have it removed.

It’s not a pentagram. It’s an INVERTED pentagram.

If we have degenerated so far that we are not allowed to determine the difference between Good and evil...

I’m not saying I like it. I’m saying they can’t prevent it from going up for the same reason they can’t stop the KKK from demonstrating.

Actually, the citizens do have a right to monitor what sort of “artistic” statements go up in the public square... else we would have all sorts of perversions demanded in the name of personal religious belief.

I never said the citizens didn’t have that right, just that the government can’t take that decision upon itself.

People of Oklahoma, I beg you: destroy this thing when it is set up in your state. There is a higher authority than the law of the land. You don’t want a statue of Ba’al in your state. Breaking man’s laws is trivial compared to God’s anger against you for allowing this.

There should be no private funding of this display. The names of the donors should be featured prominently on the statue that they are donating.

Sick. Very, very, very sick. Unlike Wiccans, who deny the existence of a Christian God and create their own moral system, these deluded demons worship the very antithesis of everything that God represents.

Sick, very, very sick.

I’m not sure. But if Obama had a son it would probably look just like him, with hoodie or without, as seen here.

It is interesting how they make their version of satan look like a smiling, loving unicorn/goat with a caduceus for a phallus, drawing in the young children.

I think the Satan statue is an outstanding idea. Placed in proximity to the 10 Commandments, it will serve as a constant reminder to those who would violate the commandments. Satan’s going to GET YOU!.

And Barry went on to star in his own depiction of Ol' Scratch!

Obama had hired such a "devil" to be his, of all things, Safe School Czar...

From 2009...

From the Washington Times...

EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar".

According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. ..."

On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated." ..."

This is an actual painting Michael Jackson had hanging in his Neverland mansion. I first saw it in that infamous interview he did with Martin Bashir.

'Michael', by artist David Nordahl

Commissioned by Michael Jackson and painted over a 17-year period, these unusual artworks were painted by David Nordahl. In them, the late King of Pop appears in a variety of intimate poses such as this one seemingly modelled on Michelangelo's David, with half naked cherubs surrounding the star

Since Satanism usually involves human sacrifice....yes, it is a religion that can be banned along with Suttee, Cannibalism, Head Hunting, Thuggism, etc.

Islam just happens to be one of the few killing religions that the West has not wiped out.....yes, a people have a right to protect themselves from evil religions or religious practices willing to take lives.
