Hehe yeah I've seen that before. Makes you wonder if the Satanists aren't mistakenly combining the Ba'al/Baphomet with the Greek god Priapus.

Perhaps. But when the city came and took it down, as no-one claimed ownership of it,
a pregnant white she-devil appeared, shortly thereafter:

Get ready to love us even more...
you know all the outcry in the States over Baphomet?
Well, when the city of Vancouver took the He-Devil down,
a petition was started by concerned Vancouverites:

I love the first line in the article:
" The Devil Wears Nada "

Yeah that's a funny title... but it's this in the article that made me spill my lunch down my shirt:
Quote:The pedestal used to hold a statue of Christopher Columbus, according to the Georgia Straight, but that was moved elsewhere 10 years ago. The devil statue was approximately eight or nine feet tall, reported CTV News.
One of the workers said he was "gonna have nightmares."

The whole uproar over the statute is just political religious bigotry based upon the First Commandment, which directed the Israelites to destroy other people's altars, break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images (Exodus 34:13). So anything that is seen as a rejection of the ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairy tale is seen as an reduction in support for Israel.
As we have discussed before, most people are ignorant about the Ten Commandments and couldn't recite them if their lives depended on it. They are just captives of propaganda and life-long brainwashing.

What symbol could/should the Satanists have chosen then? Which Satan Temple symbol would you not find something about which to complain?

Then if you do not find the Satan symbol offensive, what is the issue with it setting next to yours?
Personally, ever since I was a child, I have found the 'crucifix' abhorrent. One church I had been to even had it in color, with blood and gashes. What a horrible thing to subject children to.

Who then decides what symbols are legitimate?
