If a local government wishes to honor the contributions of various religious traditions to our civil society then I’m fine with that too. I’m not even offended by other believers considering my religion heretical if the goal of their faith is knowledge of a loving God and seek good.
The whole point of a Satanic monument is to offend. The mock believers only want to instigate controversy and express their contempt for what sincere believers consider sacred. It’s a thinly disguised attempt to deface public space with an intentionally insulting message. They what to have a laugh but really they are just being cunts. And I have no respect for their apologists because they relish the idea of bigotry against people of faith.
The cunts, in my opinion, are the Christians who pretend they don't understand that the purpose behind the Satanic monument is to expose the double standard that prevails when it comes to using public space to erect religious monuments. I'd be happy to see all such monuments placed on private land where it belongs. But until then, turnabout is fair play.
Still, it's nice that you're so open-minded that you would suffer the existence of shrines or monuments to "false pagan gods", especially since the rest of us have been putting up with your crosses and the monuments honoring your false god a long time.
