Why would anyone continuously post in threads made by someone they have on ignore?
Chalk both up to human nature.

Why would anyone post and worry about anyone else if they have them on ignore. You read every post, your just a troll.

As to the topic. Shaky, saying God is not real isn't the issue. The issue is people posting statues of Satan and demanding the people believing in God take their religious stuff down from public places, like the 10 commandments.

If the statue is on public property, then it should be taken down just to be fair. However, I really don't have a problem with things like the 10 commandments on public land.

What kind of public land would make a good place for the 10 commandments? Before you answer: take vandalism into account.

Ooh, nice caveat.

I was just saying "I don't care".

Nice fallback.

The unveiling was last Saturday. I was there. It was awesome.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Any problems?
Hope you enjoyed it.

You would say that, the devil inside you made you make this thread.

I was trying to find the name of the sculptor, see what else he'd done. A (quick) search didnt give me a name, but i guess someone earned themselves $100,000.00. Nooice.

Nice caviAt

Satans greatest accomplishment was combing the world he doesn't exist, then getting scientist to come up with the term aliens, then Hollywood to come up movies about them. Satan does not want us to know he exists cause if he exists it proves Gods existence.

You found a way to involve aliens in a conspiracy about Satan. You must be a level 5 conspiracy theorist. At level 6 your scalp starts producing tin foil naturally.

"The group’s initial venue canceled after local religious groups protested."

Religious people are funny, 'Freedom of religion, but only if I agree with it.'

And thats why its a win win for the satanists.

The statue is not of Satan or the devil. It is of Baphomet.

On Saturday night, the group unveiled a 9-foot statue of Baphomet

...and it has a political edge to it.

It’s the inevitable consequence of so-called religious freedom laws intended to blur the line between church and state. The Temple’s adherents would prefer that line remain firm. But if it’s not?
One writer dubbed the temple’s members “First Amendment performance artists,” but it’s deeper than that. The notion of religious freedom has to apply to everyone, or we’re nothing more than a theocracy.

Here is a description of Baphomet.

Baphomet (/ˈbæfɵmɛt/; from Medieval Latin Baphometh, Baffometi, Occitan Bafometz) is a term originally used to describe an idol or other deity that the Knights Templar were accused of worshiping, and that subsequently was incorporated into disparate occult and mystical traditions. It appeared as a term for a pagan idol in trial transcripts of the Inquisition of the Knights Templar in the early 14th century.[1] The name first came into popular English usage in the 19th century, with debate and speculation on the reasons for the suppression of the Templars.[2]

We were not allowed to take our own pictures. They had a professional photographer who took our pictures with the statue. He is supposed to email our pictures to us after he finishes processing them. He is doing them in batches. I do not have mine yet.

So you're a confirmed Satanist then. Good to know.
