Satanic group reveals crowdfunded monument for Oklahoma State Capitol

A Satanist statue cast in bronze is just months away from completion, and activists hope that it will find a home on the lawn of the Oklahoma State Capitol. Ultimately, the statue — which features the seven-foot tall, horned figure of Baphomet fawned upon by two exultant children — is intended to stand directly next to a highly controversial monument of the ten commandments that was donated by a state legislator in 2012 and subsequently placed on the grounds of the Capitol.

The Baphomet figure, complete with a goat head, angel wings, and a beard, comes from a recently-formed New York group identifying as The Satanic Temple, which raised over $28,000 on Indiegogo earlier this year to commission a sculptor and create the piece. Satanic Temple spokesperson Lucian Greaves tells ABC News that the statue is a symbol to "celebrate our progress as a pluralistic nation founded on secular law."

Only if they let people take pictures with the goat. That would be fun times.

I wonder how long it'll go without being vandalized.

satanists are just atheists who listen to goth music and have too much time on their hands.

or, in my experience, racist knobs who live in trailer parks and have no other way to stand out from the crowd.

No way!

Only satanists (and third world fanatics) would vandalize a religious statue!



It is by the way the same people who TURNED THE FOUNDER OF THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH’S DEAD MOM GAY!

I noted a typo on The Satanic Temple's website and alerted the webmaster, who promptly replied and offered me a free membership.

That's a $25 value for free.

This presumes that she wasn't gay prior to her death.

You have a point there!
They may have unintentionally de-gayed her!

Googling for Elder Kimball and Elder Searcy does not do the same for me!

The US is neither a "pluralistic nation" nor one founded on "secular law."

Next.

I like the fact that they ordered two copies of the statue, so they have a backup in case one gets vandalized.

I wonder if Julybabby04 will make a pilgrimage to pay tribute to her True Master.

Did you tell him to go to hell?

What I love about this is that the Satanists are going to sue the shit out of the county/ state when they refuse to site the statue.

The Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds in Oklahoma City was removed to private property last night.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...e-ten-commandments-oklahoma-capitol/73435336/

Oklahoma conservatives plan to push for the future use of public funds and property for religious purposes.

Former state Rep. Mike Reynolds, a Republican who voted to authorize the monument, was one of just a handful of supporters who watched as the monument was removed Monday night.

"This is a historical event," Reynolds said. "Now we know we have to change the Constitution. It would be good to get rid of some of the Supreme Court justices, too."

Several conservative legislators have promised to introduce a resolution when the Legislature convenes in February to send to a public vote an amendment that would remove the article of the constitution that prevents the use of public money or property for religious purposes.

From the linked article:

Estus said the decision to remove the monument under the cover of darkness was made to avoid disturbing workers at the Capitol and to keep protesters from demonstrating while heavy equipment was being used to detach the two-ton monument from its base.

Sounds like an excuse for a satanic ritual to me.

For me it's because some of them really seem to think they're onto something and that makes them better than everyone else when all it is is a buch of idiots who love Halloween.
