Satanic temple sparks uproar by unveiling statue of goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet in Arkansas state capitol |
2018-08-18 |
[Independent] Satan worshippers turned out to cheer the unveiling of a bronze statue dedicated to a goat-headed winged creature called Baphomet in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Satanic Temple organisation arranged the rally outside the Arkansas State Capitol building to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the grounds. Although the striking, eight-and-a-half foot tall icon was only allowed to be on display temporarily, Satanists argued they should be allowed to erect the winged goat effigy on a permanent basis under freedom of religion rights outlined in the US constitution. Satanic Arkansas cofounder Ivy Forrester, one of the rally organisers, said: "If you’re going to have one religious monument up then it should be open to others, and if you don’t agree with that then let’s just not have any at all." |

#6 No, SWKS, put the "I'm with her" tee shirt on the idol and I'm good with leaving it there. |

#5 What we need is a picture of someone standing next to it with one of them "I'm with Her" shirts. |

#2 A statue of Jesus should not be placed in a public site. Nor should this POS. The ten commandments are historic societal rules which dominate all Judeo-Christian underpinnings for laws and living |

#1 It's not a "religious monument," it's an idol. See: "The abomination that desolates." Does it desolate only the idol worshippers or also any who abet its presence? I think a close reading of the texts answers that question. |
