"" In January the Satanic Temple announced
plans to erect a monument glorifying the Dark
Lord on the front lawn of the Oklahoma
Statehouse. An Indiegogo campaign was
launched with what seemed like a somewhat
lofty goal of $20,000, but by the time
donations ended almost $30,000 had been
raised. Now an artist trained in classical
sculpture is toiling away in New York, crafting
a Baphomet figure sitting beneath a
pentagram and flanked by two children gazing
upward in loyalty. When it is finished, it will
be cast in bronze and, the Satanists hope,
eventually displayed in Oklahoma.
The statue is a direct response to the state's
installation of a Ten Commandments
monument outside the Capitol in 2012. State
Representative Mike Ritze paid for the
controversial statue with his own money, and
therefore it was considered a donation and OK
to place on government property. Following
that line of reasoning, the Satanic Temple
submitted a formal application for their
monument.
As Trait Thompson of the Oklahoma Capitol
Preservation Commission told CNN last
December, “Individuals and groups are free to
apply to place a monument or statue or
artwork.” The applications are then approved
or rejected by the Commission. Unfortunately,
the state has placed a halt on issuing permits
for any other monuments until a lawsuit filed
by the ACLU against Ritze’s Commandments
monument is settled.""

Unbelievable...what next-satanic rituals in schools?

@SammyToo: Dont go putting any ideas in their warped minds now.

Ugh! I hope God strikes it with lightning if it gets put up!

Wow I don't think it will fly their too many churches to let that stay

Okay...Imma get roasted for this...but the satanist statue is to make a point...if our representatives can use a loophole to place a christian statue in a govt facility that is suppose to separate church from state then why cant any other religion...including the one most offensive to many? Which IS why they picked that particular piece of "art".

Because, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, our country was founded on Christian values....i.e. The Ten Commandments.


Btw, The Ten Commandments also represent law....as does a courthouse.....bingo bango

And these idiots are only trying to be smart as.ses....typical "hippy, left wing, I aint got nothing better to do than start trouble, look at me, Im radical" bullsh!t.

I understand what Ladawn is saying, but I gotta agree with Walks on this one.

OHHHHHH-klahoma, where the evil comes sweeping down the plains!







Sorry.....ever since the thread about the botched execution, I cant get that song outta my head lol



And speaking of the botched execution....was it REALLY botched? I mean, he died, right?

@WalkSoftly: yes he died-but it was not a comfortable death... Seriously tho-sad thing is, he was way more comfortable than his victim:( I watched Boondock Saints the other night at my friends house....SIGN ME UP! lol;)
