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.” …

I'd like to think so. The MSM will probably report the installation of this blasphemy as "tolerant, "inclusive," and evidence that the First Amendment is alive and well. IF it gets hammered, don't look for video on CNN.
We’ll be seeing more of this kind of thing, as the atheists and so-called enlightened secularists who run the country make it clear who they have been working for all along.
Fair enough.
Honestly, this stupid Satan statue is silly (though I will give them props on artistic talent).
I'm just quick to jump on those who think God punishes sinners with bad weather. It's all good, though!
But, I agree. But I do think God is tormenting the ALGORE. :)
Isn’t this the state with all the earthquakes?
That’s what I said earlier, a few pickups and some chains. No christian man can let this go unchallenged. It would require action.
Of course God can do it himself too, he doesn’t need us to burn things to the ground or instantly melt things, just ask the Cubans heh.
Dear Satan: I have been a good boy this year. Please give me a bicycle and a PlayStation 4."
“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?”
PMJI: I infer that God interferes with the workings of the laws of physics on fairly rare occasions.
For this device that we call the Earth to function properly, it is necessary that bad things can happen to good people for no apparent reason. In most cases, God doesn’t make these things happen, and He doesn’t stop them from happening.
For the first couple weeks it will have heavy metal bands flying in to pose for album covers. Then a couple drunk rednecks will be bored one night and the rest will be nature taking it’s course.
Hopefully locals will pitch in bail money and legal expenses after the fact to help reform these wayward fellows. It would be the Christian thing to do, helping their fellow man and all.
Such things haZ been known to happen when you mix rednecks, 4x4s and alcohol.

Hope if the stupids erect it lots of Christians and others throw urine and fees upon it.
So, I guess in the ‘Age of PC Awareness’ ANYTHING goes as long as it doesn’t refer to God, A Cross, or anything remotely resembling ‘Stars and Bars’.
Can’t have a ‘Christian Prayer Group’ or ‘Young Republican Club’ on campuses but ‘Muslim Prayer Groups’ are not only fine but they are into demanding Christian Institutes of Higher Learning provide them with the Prayer Room -
Of course, once that happens, they will DEMAND a Mosque be built in all neighborhoods and on all campuses.
Hmmmmmm.
According to the article they're against it or any other religious monument on capital grounds. They filed suit against the 10 Commandments monument.
“Somehow, I don’t think it will last long. Okies with sledgehammers will pay a visit.”
Something is evil is manifesting in Oklahoma. Oklahoma Christians, pray as you have never prayed before.
