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

[Neo-Scholastic]

Esq, as others have said here, that statue was meant to be provocative/satirical. If they had chosen some other random creature to be their symbol, it wouldn't be offensive, which is why they chose what they did.

...their words cannot be taken as proper representation of the motives of the group. They actually explained what their motives were, and yes, they were attempting to make a point, but that doesn't make your argument here any less absurd.

They were attempting to make a point. How noble of them. Asswipes.

like christianity is the only legitimate one and all the others are just faking to defy you

Not all, just the self-identified Satanists. They are explicitly faking it purely as an act of defiance. Gee, Esq., don’t let the facts get in the way of your bullshit.

... what Baphomet does there isn't to make you think of Satan, it's to demonstrate just how willing you christians are to misunderstand.

So you agree that they’re being disingenuous by selecting a symbol they know resembles the devil to represent their pretend religion and using it to express their hatred for the followers of Christ...and you’re standing up as the apologist for this bigotry.
