Those Satanists did not invent the symbol of the Demon, the bible did. They took something that was made up to represent evil, and are trying to make it their own. Which is fine, I guess, but by putting it next to the 10 commandments statue, they are deliberately and knowingly trying to "defile" something that is very sacred for the majority of people in this country. Why not just choose a different spot to put their statue in? Its own spot?
The first thing this story makes me think of that every single group seems to be re branding and going for a more peaceful marketing strategy these days.
Satanism isn't about taking acid and stalking the night to stab someone to death anymore it's about reduced suffering, peace and harmony.
Islam isn't about beating inferior women, killing the disbelievers and apostates and crucifying the mischievous it's about peace and harmony.
Christianity isn't about throwing rocks at everyone until they're dead it's more peace and harmony.
Secondly I think the statue is by itself a bad idea but because of the situation it's justified.
It's sort of like if one group of people decided that taking a dump in a public place was no longer against the law for them, and then they get really offended when another group decides to do the exact same thing they're doing. I wouldn't just support someone taking a dump in a public place but if it was to highlight the valid point that other people are taking a dump in a public place then I would.
Thirdly Christians have been decorating their churches with demonic gargoyles for a long long time now, so a statue of a demon next to something supposedly holy is nothing new, I suppose the statue placement is different, but Christians were the first to go crazy decorating places with demon statues.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
