Quote HistoryQuoted: Is destruction the answer? Why not tear down the 200 year old murals and statues throughout DC? We get back at Christians by destroying art? If suggest that destructive streak kind of implies that some people are more hateful and destructive they claim Christians to be. Meh, we get a long and I appreciate your friendship. I wasn't trying to start a fight, just present my case in a clear and logical manner. I'll wish you good night now. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: And let's get to tearing. Is destruction the answer?

The thrust of my grandfathering angle is a contrast of a representation of Moses among many lawgivers as opposed to people piling the Decalog on the courthouse steps and insisting others live by the word of God. My goal is a place where people can petition for a redress of grievances without feeling as if they start out with a handicap. |

Why is he pointing up? http://media.philly.com/images/010613_Satanic_monument_600.jpg Christians need not be offended. The Satanist could only raise enough funds to have one built that's 9 inches tall. The other hand is pointing down, you just can't see it. It represents the duality of man, or as LeVay would say "as above, it is below." The Church of Satan's occult practices and beliefs rely allot on the concept of opposing diametric forces in balance, kinda like yin and yang or order and chaos. The male and female is another expression of this. Most of the time when Baphomet is chosen as a representative figure it's a conscious choice to represent the Balance in life. Remember that Church of Satan types believe in no physical deities, all these figures are just representative. In this case they chose Baphomet to accompany the 10 Commandments because he is the other half of the balance, the "yin" to the 10 Commandment's "yang" so to speak; "so as it is above, it shall be below." |

You say "its their religion", but when you look up what satan represents is that really something you support, especially with children around him. It is obscene and disgusting. I'm against the 10 commandments being displayed, but I am way more against this. Atheists like this are like a bunch of children trying to out-do each other and see who can be the biggest dumbass for attention. But I forget, you atheists know everything, please tell me the secrets of the universe and how I am wrong, then tip your fedora while you stroke your ego, and grab your nothing and hold it tight. |
