I am glad this Satanic Temple was allowed to be established. Freedom of Religion!! The Satanic Temple of Detroit debuts massive one-ton Baphomet monument http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_satanic_temple_of_detroit_debuts_massive_one-ton_baphomet_monument If you were not already aware, Detroit, Michigan is the home to the very first national chapter house of The Satanic Temple. Late yesterday, TST released the first photos of a nine-foot, one-ton statue of Baphomet that they hope to display at the State Capitol in Oklahoma. If you’re wondering why The Satanic Temple is hoping to house the titanic sculpture of Baphomet in Oklahoma’s State Capitol, let me clear that up for you. Although they have yet to be granted permission (and promise to sue the state if request is denied), TST wants Baphomet to sit next to the six-foot tall Ten Commandments statue (built with the help of “private” funding), that has stood on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol since 2012. Coincidently, said statue was smashed up in 2014 by a guy who said he was acting on “Satan’s” orders. The statue was then restored and returned to its original spot at the Capitol. However, in an interesting turn of events late today, it looks like the controversial statue’s days are indeed numbered. In a decisive 7-2 decision, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the Ten Commandments statue must be removed as it violates the state’s constitutional ban on the use of public property for the benefit of a religion. While this decision does not bode well for TST, it will be interesting to see how this one shakes out given Oklahoma’s highly conservative constituency. I also wouldn’t be surprised if TST starts looking for a new home for Baphomet. Still, I think it’s safe to say that times are indeed changing in this country. And fast. The massive statue will be officially unveiled on July 25th at a rather un-satanic sounding spot called Bert’s Warehouse Theater in Detroit, with entertainment provided by DJ William Morrison of Skinny Puppy/OhGr related infamy. Attendance is open to the public and tickets to the event will cost you $25 bucks. VIP tickets will run you $75 and include your very own photo with Baphomet. Dressing to impress satan is also highly encouraged. Nice. |

I am probably wrong, but doesn't a religion require a God? baphomet or satan are not a God, he was outcasted by God. So this is bullshit, or should i say goatshit? |

That is good enough for me. I obviously do not believe in Satan or Hell or anything like that. But I know the theists are melting down over this. I love it! :D :D |

But I know the theists are most likely having a fit about this. Kind of like when a school district allowed parents to hand out Christian pamphlets to students. It was challenged. School board ruled that it was allowed due to freedom of religion and expression, and anyone was allowed to hand out pamphlets. Satanists then started to hand out pamphlets to students lol. Guess what happened? School board put a complete halt to all of it lol. Seems like they really didn't value freedom of expression or religion. Only freedom to express their views, and no one else. Bunch of hypocrites. I love that Satanists went there and started to hand out pamphlets. Expose their hypocrisy. |
