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

[Catholic_Lady]

Those commandments are being on forced on everyone. It is illegal. People shouldn’t feel as if that’s what they’re supposed to be believing. Biblical nonsense on a court house that’s supposed to serve justice.. seriously? Justice in the bible, that’s a laugh.. People that walk through the door are bothered by it, the people that have to swear on a book of lies, are bothered by it. You have actually said that you don’t believe in a massive part of the bible. Why is it necessary to force people to do that? You know more and more people in this country don’t believe in it? So, what’s the point?

There is no mutual respect amongst religions. The people in this country only want christian iconography on public land. That’s not mutual respect. The moment someone wants to put any atheist  or science plaque up, many christians lose their minds. That’s not mutual respect. Also, again, you say as long as there isn’t unfairness… There is massive unfairness. You are delusional if you cannot see this.

My bold.

Right, so that needs to change. It can either change by allowing all symbols up, or by not allowing any. I don't care which it is. I don't care if it's all or none. I just care that in the end, it's fair to everyone, whatever it takes to get there.

You say that you don’t care that if all religions are not allowed to be displayed on public property, although you don’t want the 10 commandments taken down. So, what it boils down to, is as long as it’s only your religion being displayed for all to see, it’s ok. Or, as long as all religious statues are being displayed (but not scary goatman next to a cross), it’s ok. So, you want one religion being represented, or you want court houses completely decorated on the exterior with ancient myths.

So, you’re perfectly fine with having the 10 commandments all over public buildings, and you see nothing wrong with that. How about if they weren’t the 10 commandments, how about on every court building has the baphomet displayed with 11 satanic rules. Would that bother you? Let me answer for you. YES.  Wow, congratulations, you just experienced what we feel for a second. Then, how come it’s ok for you to have a religious privilege, and not the satanists? Can you see your logic yet?? Can you see how people are poking holes in it constantly?

Salacious, I've been saying repeatedly that I don't care if it gets taken down. Holly smokes.

And if you saw my last post to Esq, I said I wouldn't mind the Baphomet so long as it's true that it is it's own religious/ideological symbol and not meant to be some sort of hate symbol.
