Can't Satanists and Christians just get along?
Satanists are just too peace loving apparently.
Must be all the orgies..

liberals aren't bitching about it, Christians both liberal and Conservative ARE.the kids being there is just the awesome.A satanic group unveiled designs Monday for a 7-foot-tall statue of Satan it wants to put at the Oklahoma state Capitol, where a Ten Commandments monument was placed in 2012.
The New York-based Satanic Temple formally submitted its application to a panel that oversees the Capitol grounds, including an artist's rendering that depicts Satan as Baphomet, a goat-headed figure with horns, wings and a long beard that's often used as a symbol of the occult. In the rendering, Satan is sitting in a pentagram-adorned throne with smiling children next to him.
"The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond," temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said in a statement. "The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation."
The Satanic Temple maintains that the Oklahoma Legislature's decision to authorize a privately funded Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol opened the door for its statue. The Ten Commandments monument was placed on the north steps of the building in 2012, and the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has sued to have it removed.

But they need to give him 'duck face' to go with him throwing up the dueces
couple side notes
this is state property, so sep of church and state doesn't apply
and for all the liberals that think it's a christian statue, the 10 commandments are old testement and therefore jewish
and theres been a few incan/myan stuff put up. I recall a jaguar god/goddess going up a couple of years ago. oddly, liberals didn't give a ****
BUT then again the conservatives claim there are no liberal Christians...
Really? Who did that?
Not me. Some of the dumbest liberals on here are Christians.
Lots and lots of Catholics are liberal.
So who is it that says there are no liberal Christians? I tend to hear liberal Christians squawking just the opposite..that right wingers are not REAL Christians.

First Amendment & Federalism - Does First Amendment Apply to State Governments?
FYI, Christians are the ones that are putting up the 10 Commandment icons, not the Jewish people.
Why should libs care, it's the conservative Christians that are going to mount up a fight....yet they want to be able to put Christian icons on public buildings.

Fed property is off limits.
state property is not.
Take the time to think about it.

A friend of mine who is a police officer and also a Christian conservative was very surprised when I told him that I was a Christian too. He always thought that liberals couldnÂ’t be Christians. I was just as equally surprised that he thought conservatives had an exclusive claim to Jesus. In fact, I believe that a lot of conservatives are hypocritical in their claim to Christianity. I say this because my belief in Jesus and his teachings have a lot to do with how I treat my fellow-man and how charitable I am to the poor.

There's No Such Thing as a Liberal Christian - Jason Bachand - Open Salon
There's No Such Thing as a Liberal Christian
I submit to you, dear reader, that there's no such thing as a liberal Christian.
Colby Chapel at Andover Newton Seminary Recently, I was engaged in a debate with a 'conservative' Christian about same-sex marriage. A self-professed 'liberal' Christian interjected with a comment about Jesus Christ's message of redemption and radical love for all. I can't recall with precision what words I used, but I rebuked him (without being supercilious, as far as I can tell) for presenting as evidence an argument based on demonstrable fictions. "Whoa - friendly fire bro," he replied to me, with genuine surprise. "I'm on your side!" It was kind of him to include me, an atheist, in his definition of 'we' and not identify me as 'other' in the manner typical to many believers. I really wanted to say, "you're right" - but I couldn't. Mr. Friendly Fire and I probably agree on many political and social issues. But on the most fundamental aspects of reality and epistemology, he and I are parsecs apart. Our shared values derive ultimately from utterly incompatible views about the very nature of the universe and reality.

Even though they don't like the Constitution, ALL religions need to keep their idols in their churches.

religions should pay their fair share of taxes ..where do they get off thinking they are multi national corporations!
If they paid their fair share, the world would be fed.
