Monument to Baphomet unveiled for Oklahoma statehouse

RE: Monument to Baphomet unveiled for Oklahoma statehouse
There is a similar thing going on in Florida. Except the Christians are fighting back against atheists. Apparently a granite bench with Humanist quotes is way worse than a Satanist effigy.

Quote:A couple of months ago, the Levy County Commissioners voted unanimously to reject the atheists’ proposal, saying the application wasn’t complete.
The atheists responded by saying this was a foregone conclusion before the meeting even started:
Atheists Wrote:Reasons for denial were idiotic and the staff outline of those was NOT given to us in a timely manner in order to allow us to address them properly. When we arrived at the hearing, Ray was called up front by the Clerk who THEN gave him a copy of their reasons. Too little too late, ya think?
Now, at the end of April, they’ve tried once again to get their bench approved… and, once again, they’ve been denied. What’s the reason this time?
The (completely) arbitrary guidelines say that all monuments must have a complete text on them. So no quotations allowed. And wouldn’t you know it? The proposed atheist bench was full of quotations…
But wait a minute. The Ten Commandments is far from a “complete text,” right? It’s just a small, carefully-edited excerpt from a much larger and darker book.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
