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

[Catholic_Lady]

I asked this question earlier and no Christian responded. I'll try again:

Say the Satanists wanted to erect that demon statue right in front of a prominent public building, which currently has no religious symbols anywhere near it.

(1) Would you personally agree this should be allowed?

(2) Do you think the authorities would allow it?

Not a Christian, but since you're chomping at the bit for an answer:

It seems to me that Cathy's response to (1) has been that she would be okay with it; her issue with the Baphomet statue was that she perceives/perceived it as a slight toward Christianity (that it was "defiling" the 10C monument Post #12) due to the proximity of the monuments but she seemed to repeatedly imply that if it were the only monument on capitol grounds she would have allowed it.

As I said, I don't care about this or other symbols being on public land.

Only she could clarify the point, however; I don't mean to speak for her.

Frankly, that's as much as I care to comb the thread to quote her, I suggest you reread her posts to see if you get the same impression that I have.

Also note that in the last several pages here she has conceded at least a portion of her arguments throughout this thread: Post #308

Correct, CM! 

I agree it should be fair. Meaning ANY SYMBOL* should be allowed. Or NO SYMBOL should be allowed. I don't care which of the 2 it is. 

*Any symbol not made to directly attack another group of people. For example, the swastika is a Hindu symbol, but because of it's use in Nazi Germany, I'd say it should not be put next to the Jewish Star because it would imply anti jewish sentiment. The confederate flag I also don't think should be allowed because of the anti African American sentiment. I initially thought the Satanist Symbol should not be put near a Christian one because of what it would imply, but have come to give them the benefit of the doubt that they do not represent any anti Christian sentiments.
