The Satanic Temple sets up public display inside Iowa Capitol building: 'Very dark, evil force'
Fox News ^ | 12/9/23 | Adam Sabes

A satanic altar has been set up at the Iowa State Capitol.

The Satanic Temple erected the public display, depicting a ram's head with mirrors covering it, propped by a mannequin in red clothing, according to KCCI Des Moines.

Co-founder of The Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves, told the news outlet that the display represents the group's right to religious freedom.

"We're going to really relish the opportunity to be represented in a public forum. We don't have a church on every street corner," Greaves said.

It’s not a “religion”. It’s a cult of EVIL.
DESTROY IT!

The problem with freedom of religion

And yes I do support the first amendment

But you get stuff like this. Satanic chaplains. Satan prayers at town council meeting.

I prefer principled Christian theonomy (allowing for a lot of religious freedom but not to this point) but culturally we are so very far from it.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

JESUS is that WORD!!! He broke the POWER of SIN and has conquered sin,....... and the demonic forces know it!!

Their time is limited and GOD will HAVE THE FINAL SAY... HALLELUJAH!!!!!

1st amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Satanism and church of satan is not an establishment of religion.

In fact it is an anti religion. It ALWAYS attacks Christianity. It has no independent theology and no established history.

Catholicism, Baptists, Methodists, quakers, mennonites, Mormons are all historical establishments of religion. Satanists have no special protection.

"Religion re-defined. Marriage re-defined. I wonder what is next."

Do a web search on, "transhumanism," and I think you'll have your answer.

During open hours, people should pray near it. I’d fling a bit of holy water at it myself.

RE: I wonder what is next.

I guess when we watch a story of two married Catholic priests interviewed about performing a marriage ceremony for two lesbian nuns who dedicating their wedding gift cash to the Church limo service providing free rides to and from the Church abortion clinic, we’ll know things are getting weird.

Is this the only display inside the Capitol, or is it just there because Christianity cannot be given a special preference and other views must be allowed?

Freedom of religion as interpreted today is NOT what the founding fathers had in mind. Those words are totally taken out of context and painted with a broad brush.

Satanic Temple.....yeah..........right...

What a load of tripe! Anyone who would even pretend to believe this mule muffin has too much time on their hands and too little constructive work to keep them busy.

Deluded people have been trying this garbage for at least 4000 years, and so far NONE have succeeded in becoming immortal or rulers of the universe, or finding the philosopher’s stone.

Get a life, morons! “Going viral” on TikTok really isn’t THAT IMPORTANT...

We used to tell these bastards to pound sand and bark up a tree when they whined. Now we just let them do what they want and shrug our shoulders. Frankly, we deserve everything that’s coming to us. We’ve become far to weak as a society.

Old Scratch just don’t know when to give up.
Thought he’d ruined everything in The Garden.
Then all this Promise stuff kept cropping up and he began to be aware there was a Bigger Plan that he hadn’t known about.
So, then he tried wherever he could to derail that, which of course completely backfired in the WORST possible way.
If he wasn’t such a nasty sort, Mick Jagger might have got more traction with his song.
That Cross at Calvary really put the lock on the whole deal, and now there’s no coming back for the Old Worm; it’s all over but the shrieking and wailing.
I mean — Revelation 20:7-10 — he’s got an Encore to prep for, but the script is written, already; he loses that in a HUGE way.
Honestly, if I were in his hooves I think I’d just sulk in that pit and write off that whole Millennium End bash as a lost cause.
I mean... I guess he snags a few more souls outta that last hurrah, but it’s the ultimate in Pyrrhic victories.
NOT to underestimate the guy, but — honestly — walking past that... thing in Ohio, I’d be more inclined to just shake my head at the disaster the old Devil’s brought upon himself.
What a WRECK!
And he started out so SUPERB; coulda been a contenda!
Buuut... I guess that notion got to him and he took it a little too seriously.
To see him now...
I kinda feel bad about what God lost in that whole deal.
His most beautiful Archangel that He ever made blows it big time, and so He’s out that creative investment.
Then — in his fit of sour grapes — the guy convinces a huge swathe of the rest of the angelic host to abandon God and come sulk in the darkness with him, so there’s another hit to the angelic assets of The Almighty.
If the book of Enoch has any credibility, it seems there was an appeal to YHVH on behalf of all the fallen to forgive, and that was denied basis fact that the fallen FULLY KNEW EVERYTHING they were giving up, but rebelled anyway.
So... yeah, more butthurt all around in Camp Beelzebub over that news.
AND, of course, there’s only one accessible target left to these malcontents: US.

Is it facing in the correct direction? If not someone should supply a “Mecca is that away” arrow next to it. Then let the peaceful representatives of the fubar custodians against religious imagery correct the display.
