Maybe we could have a thread about what Satanists are doing.

Near the city Christmas tree and a nativity scene, a new holiday display now stands in the city plaza in front of the State House.
As a group gathered there shouted “Hail Satan!”, a black tarp was pulled from atop the statue, revealing a black Baphomet with bright yellow eyes. In its right hand, the statue grasps a bouquet of lilacs, and in its left, an apple sits in its palm, representing “a quest for knowledge, defiance in the face of arbitrary authority, and our commitment to self-determination,” according to Orpheus Gaur, a minister with the temple’s New Hampshire and Vermont congregation, and also a director of the Satanic Representation Campaign, during the display’s reveal, which was streamed live on Facebook. He also designed the statue, according to a press release.
“My constituents and I felt that it was very important, in order to keep with the constitutional principle that government should not give preference to one religion, to see equal representation among faiths in front of the State House,” said state Representative Ellen Read, a Newmarket Democrat, in a press release. “It is hard for anyone to find fault with the TST seven tenets, and they are completely in keeping with the holiday spirit of all faiths.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
