Satanic Statue Almost ready for OK Capitol

WATER BOARDING IS BAPTISING TERRORISTS.

WITH FREEDOM

"Dear Satan, for my midsummers eve I'd like a statuette of Ozzy eating the head of a bat, and a life-size poster of Cliff Burton."

NOT METAL ENOUGH, I think you mean

Dear Satan, please make my background music "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse".

Dear Satan, for my midsummers eve, I'd like the video footage of the pineapple scene from little nicky, and a time machine.

Dear Satan

One piece for everyone

Love
Little Johney

Satan is getting some major face time this week.

Florida Town Must Open Meeting With Satanic Prayer or Violate Supreme Court Ruling

http://aattp.org/florida-town-must-open-...rt-ruling/

I know this is a different topic but figured we could keep all the Satan stuff lumped together.

It probably goes somewhat without saying, but the 11 Satanic rules of earth are, for the most part, agreeable on.

As for my own personal stance, it is what it is. I'm kinda neutral on the issue.

Oh yeah, it doesn't confront me one way or the other. As long as all sides have equal opportunity for representations then I am fine with it.

I brought this up to my dad at some point (you think I'm a "conservative", and you will never be prepared for him), he said he'd already seen it and, after thinking over it, gave a pretty solid argument on why this is a win-win for the people building the statue. They are funding it using the same system that they used to fund that ten commandments in the same place, right? Either they get their statue, or they get the commandments removed AND waste a ton of the government's money in the courts to spite them; no matter the outcome, they get something they want. The smartest thing that can be done is just to let them have their statue, rather than waste tons of taxpayer money in a drawn out court battle that they will eventually lose. Given that it's the government though, I'm assuming they will not do this, because they rarely do anything correctly or even just in a way that is efficient.

well, i meant that, cult, church, group, the point is that this is an actual group that does revere satan, rather than a bunch of guys who only thought it'd be nice to mess with the government/protest about the separation between church and state.

for them, they can only win this, either they get the 10 commands out, or they get the devil in, if neither, they get the attention and the smart (aka not-zealous) people will understand why they tried what they tried.

Satanists don't actually worship Satan, at least not the ones that are actually orchestrating this charade. If you look at the history of Satanists, they're essentially just a more grim and edgy version of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Essentially they're just atheists, but they wanna send a message in an ironic way that will piss off those who are religious (specifically those belonging to the Abrahamic religions, if it wasn't obvious enough). Satan is more of a figure to them of rebellion, like one who went astray from their ways in pursuit of their own goals, etc.

Though, that isn't to say there aren't actual cults out there that do worship Satan in a very real way; they interpret scriptures to pretty much be showing that Yaweh is actually a plantain who wants to imprison us as his slaves and keep us away from knowledge, while Satan is only trying to free us from his creepy grasps and give us the gift of knowledge, and is actually more in the side of humans that a divine overbearing hypocritical power hungry creator. It's just that most people who self identify as Satanists actually just say so ironically to make a point and aggravate people.

So in that sense, yes, their motives are to piss people off; but they wouldn't have started if OK didn't allow the religious monument in the first place.

they interpret scriptures to pretty much be showing that Yaweh is actually a plantain

Aside from the rest, I'd say that much is perfectly obvious, even before looking at the more atrocious things he did in the old testament. After seeing all of that, he's not just a plantain, he should have a "biggest plantain in the universe" mug.

This thread sickens me...
