DETROIT (AP) An 8½-foot-tall bronze monument featuring a goat-headed Satan will be unveiled at a secret, ticketed event in Detroit after the owner of a popular restaurant and entertainment complex backed out and opponents issued threats, organizers said.
The 1½-ton Baphomet, which is backed by an inverted pentagram and flanked by statues of two young children gazing up at the creature, shows Satan with horns, hooves, wings and a beard.
The Satanic Temple, a group that advocates for the separation of church and state, will release the location of the unveiling on the day of the event, and details will be sent to ticketholders only, the groups co-founder Lucien Greaves told The Associated Press Monday.
Tickets are going to be pre-ordered to cut down on harassment people threatening to burn the venue down, Greaves said. Weve gotten those kinds of messages.
If people dont want to come, they dont need to come, he added.
Greaves said he reported the threats to authorities.

General Williams did play a critical part in the direction of the civil war when the Confederate “lost dispatch,” Special Order 191 came into his possession which gave details of the movements of the Army of Northern Virginia during the early days of its invasion of Maryland.

Another one who says if you don’t like it, don’t look.
Try that over a nativity scene at Christmas. Just don’t look at it, no problem.
Cool...I didn’t realize that he was involved with that. Thanks for the fact.
