'Child-Friendly' Satan Statue for Okla. State Capitol Awaits Final Judgment

[Geee]

CNS News:

It may seem absurd - or given the moral state of the nation, appropriate -- but the grounds committee for the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Preservation Commission, has been asked by The Satanic Temple, a group from New York, to place a privately funded statue of Satan, complete with pentagram and two fawning children at Lucifer's knee, on the Capitol grounds near a monument of the Ten Commandments.

 

In the statue, which is to be cast in bronze and is near completion, Satan is depicted as "Baphomet" with a goat's head and horns, and there is a boy on his left and a girl on his right.

"We decided to go with that because it is a fairly traditional character," Lucien Greaves, spokesman for The Satanic Temple, told KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City. "It also offers a lap that visitors can come to sit on, have their picture taken with."

and with public opinion about this, it doesn't look like the commission will give them permission to show this thing

Interesting that they can use a symbol/figurehead that is decidedly the complete antithesis of any religion.....as their religious icon. It illustrates that there is no depth too low & putrid....for a segment of humanity to rally around.

 

The wench that [recently] joyfully filmed the execution abortion of her unborn child....would seem right at home on Satan's knee.

 

It's my own personal belief that brings me to view this as extremely sad & destructive. From the moment that God's prosecuting angel, Satan, refused to bow before His Redeeming Son, Jesus Christ....he [satan] became the cold, dark void that is "not-life" and began his temptation to draw souls away from the Eternal Love that is promised to all.

 

Not content with hiding in darkness....he now may have a point of putrescence that his damned may approach for reveling in their debased worship.....and take "selfies" that will hang in the darkness of their everlasting torment.
