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

[Esquilax]

Right lol. Regardless of why it was meant to offend, it still was lol.

No, actually it's not. Your basis for finding it offensive is that the statue depicts Satan, who is a hateful figure in your religion. But the statue doesn't depict Satan, and so your basis is nonexistent. That you continue to insist that the statue is offensive shows that you either don't care about your own stated reason, or you refuse to consider the cultural significance of the Baphomet figure as anything other than a simplistic attack on christianity. Which I think is sort of the issue here: you're saying that offensive things shouldn't be erected, but your offense only exists because of your unwillingness to consider other religions on their own merits, rather than as some specific response to your own and nothing else. You're disregarding a century of history and culture because it doesn't fit the narrative you'd already constructed ahead of time.

You're not offended for any factual reason, just that you're a member of a dominant cultural in-group who's in so deep that you can't see the forest for the trees. You can only see the statue from the framework of your own religion, and are seemingly refusing to even consider the fact that an unconnected group of people might develop their iconography without thinking of your specific religion the whole way through.
