Freedom and all that be scary yo. <-- this is a joke, calm down people
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/satanic-temple-arkansas-state-capitol-little-rock-baphomet-jason-rapert-ten-commandments-a8495576.html?amp Satan worshippers turned out to cheer the unveiling of a bronze statue dedicated to a goat-headed winged creature called Baphomet in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Satanic Temple organisation arranged the rally outside the Arkansas State Capitol building to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the grounds. Although the striking, eight-and-a-half foot tall icon was only allowed to be on display temporarily, Satanists argued they should be allowed to erect the winged goat effigy on a permanent basis under freedom of religion rights outlined in the US constitution.

America was founded as a Christian nation it is unsuitable for any other kind of people.
Bulldoze that abomination to the ground it is an offense to the God of our founders. |

Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. If the people in that area don't want it planted there, as a whole, take your shit and pack up.
If the people as a whole want it, I just know not to go to Little Rock. That's the bottom line. The satan worshippers need not be offended that 100 of them are outvoted by 10,000. And make sure all 100 of them live there and aren't flown or bused in. Freedom can be scary, probably NOT in this case. |

Should of taken photos of those who cheered. It helps to know who is who in your city.

Eh, people have the right to do all sorts of stupid things. Doesn't mean I have to support it. I honestly think anyone who thinks this is a good idea is either an idiot or a genuinely bad person. To include the OP (based on his smarmy comment).

LITERALLY
I think I count 13 non police in that photo. Sure seems like it is wanted there. Again, FREEDOM AIN'T SO SCARY IN THIS CASE. |

Let the people who live there determine if they want it or not. If the Satanists get outvoted, then fuck 'em. They can put the statue in their mom's back yard.

if you're going to erect a satanic statue, might as well do it right...

But historical figures are protested and toppled. Interesting times indeed.
|

Meh.
It is an interesting statue. I don't belive in Satan, so I really don't care about it either way. That goat headed piece of silliness has about as much relevance to the real world as a statue of Cthulhu........... |

It's stupid because it sure appears nobody wants it there by attendance. And while they can temporarily unveil it there, it should probably be moved because my bet is nobody wants it there. This is nothing but a dog and PONY show. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

It's just a hunk of metal, nothing more, nothing less. It's only "power" is in the minds of men and women. Call me if it hops off that throne and starts tooling around downtown Arkansas.

They’re just displaying it on a flatbed saying they should be able to put it on display there as well. Arkansas passed a law last year requiring legislators to endorse the placing of a statue on government prop. Surprise, none endorsed the Satanic one.
