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

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

The whole uproar over the statute is just political religious bigotry based upon the First Commandment, which directed the Israelites to destroy other people's altars, break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images (Exodus 34:13). So anything that is seen as a rejection of the ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairy tale is seen as an reduction in support for Israel.
As we have discussed before, most people are ignorant about the Ten Commandments and couldn't recite them if their lives depended on it. They are just captives of propaganda and life-long brainwashing.

What symbol could/should the Satanists have chosen then? Which Satan Temple symbol would you not find something about which to complain?

Then if you do not find the Satan symbol offensive, what is the issue with it setting next to yours?
Personally, ever since I was a child, I have found the 'crucifix' abhorrent. One church I had been to even had it in color, with blood and gashes. What a horrible thing to subject children to.

Who then decides what symbols are legitimate?
