Monument to Baphomet unveiled for Oklahoma statehouse

Monument to Baphomet unveiled for Oklahoma statehouse
Ok, so to go backwards a bit here, there was a constitutional contest when another of these fundies wanted their pet religious project put up on public grounds. The court ruling was that they could do it as long as they paid for it and that any church could do the same. The response was kinda predictable. The Oklahoma statehouse lawn will soon feature a monument to Baphomet, paid for by Satanist groups.

I kinda hate siding with Muslims, but there's a big part of me that wants a Muslim monument put up there just so the Faux News fans that populate Oklahoma will completely lose their shit.

I have to admit, it certainly looks cooler than anything the Jesus people would post. I mean, all crosses and the ten commandments and even the virgin Mary from the occasional Catholic, they get old.

For some reason I imagine this playing in the background while the monument is being erected.

Love it. When does it go up? More importantly though, when does court wrap up to have the original monumment removed? Won't this alll be wrapped up before this thing is even finished?

"The idea of a Satanic monument sitting on government property in Oklahoma—which is like the Bible Belt's Bible Belt—seems a bit far-fetched, but Greaves says that "there has been quite a bit of discussion among legal scholars who recognize how difficult it would actually be for Oklahoma to turn us down… Constitutional law is quite clear on this issue: The state can’t discriminate against viewpoints. If they’ve opened the door for one, they’ve opened it for all.”

Indeed.
