Your thoughts on Satanism and the petition for a Satanic statue.

[rexbeccarox]

How about not putting up any religious symbols on public land out of respect? Why has that not occurred to you?

Do I have to care?

You're the one who started the thread...

Lol. I personally don't care whether there are or aren't any religious symbols on public property. Other people's religious symbols don't bother me in the least bit, and I have zero reason to be offended or feel disrespected by someone else's religious symbols, in and of themselves.

You might have zero reason, but that's shallow thinking. We are meant to have a separation of church and state in this country; any religious symbol is an affront to what we constitutionally stand for.

Because of everything I have already explained though, I do not think it would be right to put a Demon right next to the 10 commandments.

The 10 Commandments are from the OT. I thought you took the entire thing allegorically, and as such, both the commandments and the Satan symbol are allegorical. Not only that, the Torah is the Jewish holy book, and Jews have no reason to think of the Satan figure as a demon.

But generally speaking, I don't care what symbols are on this property.

Yes you do: you're looking for special attention by not erecting a Satan statue next to a Ten Commandments one. Why do the Ten Commandments get first dibs?
