You mean outside of the context of the ten commandments, on public land? If not, why is one ok and the other isn't?

I find the atheistic satanist intriguing. Its funny to think about how the satan of the bible just wanted to be worshiped so bad. And his whole beginning of evil was his deceiving eve to believe she was being deceived by god. Merely just intriguing though. Another thing I find funny is how satanist view their birthday as the most important day of the year and number one holiday

Yeah, but why is does that make one not ok to be put next to the ten commandments?

Because for some, particularly the easily offended, speech is only free if what is being said is agreeable.

I'm not sure if I understand your question but if you're asking why is it ok for the athetistic satanists to have a monument, I'll say it's because the atheistic satanists are much like us and their agenda is NOT brainwashing, it's freedom in every sense.

Yeah, I think we've misunderstood each other. I mean why would the atheistic satanists statue be ok standing next to the ten commandments, and the other satanists statue would not?
And why does the doctrine have anything to do with it? I mean, we either allow or disallow religious statues on public ground, period. picking and choosing which ones are ok is favoritism

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
