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

[Catholic_Lady]

I'm not really bothered with any religious symbol being prominently displayed on public property. You're right, if one is allowed, they should all be allowed. I personally couldn't care less, so long as they didn't effect the laws or freedom of religion.

Two things:
1) You realize you have spent this entire thread saying the exact opposite, right?

2) What do you think a possible effect of having the 10 Commandments on a courthouse/capital lawn is if not reinforcing the supremely flawed idea that people should be judged or laws enacted that stem from that list of "God's Laws" they see when they drive to work every day?

1. You must have misunderstood. If we're talking about simply having a Satan statue somewhere, I don't care. My high school mascot was the blue devils. I didn't exactly throw a fit lol.

2. I don't see how/why it would effect anything, quite honestly. The people who are Christian working at the courthouse are going to continue being Christian, and those who aren't, won't. I don't think deep seeded American principles of separation of Church and state would go away because of the 10 commandments monument.

EDIT TO ADD: Remember, I said "I don't care as long as it doesn't effect the laws." So hypothetically speaking, if it did effect the laws, I would see a problem. Otherwise it just seems petty to me.
