Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol | Fox News




A woman was arrested Tuesday after she began to tear down a display by the Satanic Temple in the lobby of the Florida Capitol.*

The*Tallahassee Democrat*reported that 54-year-old Susan Hemeryck told two Florida Department of Law Enforcement Capitol Police officers that she "was sorry and had to take down the Satanic display", adding that it was "not right."

The paper reported that when Hemeryck tried to remove the display, an officer stopped her and told her to put it back, saying that she was violating the law. Hemeryck responded that she "could not take it anymore" and began trying to tear down the display before she was arrested.*

Tolerence folks ... Tolerence

While incorrect, her actions are understandable and it should be pointed out that this sort of thing wouldn't happen if they didn't allow this heinous evil to occur in the first place.

The government being involved with religious displays isn't great, but to call it a heinous evil is a bit much.

Satanism is a heinous evil.

If you mean religious displays in the State Capital, I agree. It mocks our Constitution

No, I mean Satanic displays.

So's Christianity, but we have to put up with that too.

Christianity is the truth.

As painfully stupid as Satanism is, this is a bit much.

People got issues.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

I've really come to appreciate Satanists as of recent.

Good for her, where do I send her bail money.
Call the Tallahassee police department.

Satanism is a heinous evil.
Only in Christianity. In Judaism, HaSatan is G-d's chief prosecutor, his employee, and cannot act without G-d's express will and approval. That would make Satan worship idolatry, which I suppose is an evil in itself, but not the "heinous evil" Christianity ascribes to that being.

The point being?

The point being?
That Satan is a "heinous evil" only in Christianity. Not to other religions, necessarily. One cannot tear down a religious display just because one finds it objectionable in his own religious beliefs.

No, but the state should remove it.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Why should they, it's a predominantly Christian country.
It's a secular country. The belief of the majority isn't relevant.
