Satanists Unveil 7-Foot Baphomet Statue For Oklahoma State Capitol

Wonderful. I understand the whole discrimination argument. But where does this end. Eventually, will tax payers be put upon for more space and facilities, maintenance etc. how about a none policy and the satanists can put the statue in their front yards. It is a cool one.
 
Ha, christians are all about the marriage of religion and government as long as it's their religion. When someone else tries something the whining begins.
 
That statue makes me think of the old dude from the movie Dragnet.
 
Is Satanism a religion? I thought it was the opposite.
 
Even atheism is widely regarded as a religion.

True, but it shouldn't be. Satan on the other hand is worshiped. Strange all the fictitious beings mankind finds to worship.
 
HAHAHA!!! Baphomet is widely believed to be synonymous with Mahomet, which is the medieval french name for Mohammed.

It was first seen around 1195 in an Occitan poem bewailing the loss of the 7th Crusade...it's also strongly tied to the Templars...

WOW, these kids got a lot of time on their hands...

Or they make the time.
Some people love the Constitution THAT much.

so much that they take historical facts and wipe their bums with them? I feel the love...:roll:
 
You get all the free pea soup you want when you join the Devil.
 
I always figured that satanism was just religious trolling.
 
nice non answer
since when is 'widely believed' equal historical fact
I don't think they are doing it to get their idol in, they are making the point that all idols must be out

I don't make it a habit of repeating myself but to help you along. "Widely believed" was my way of saying no other evidence at that time is available and no certainty as to the authors true intention can be had, however, throughout the space of time, the fact of the matter is that it has become accepted, i.e. "widely believed" that the name baphomet was a corruption of the french medieval word for Mohammed which was Mahomet. Now, when we take this historical fact, i.e. the "widely believed" assumption throughout history that Baphomet =Mahomet, what do you have? A group of children trying to place a statue of Satan with the name Baphomet. Now if Baphomet is widely believed to be synonymous with Mahomet, and the statue is depicting Satan, as these children claim to be Satanists, than they are equating Mahomet with Baphomet which would equate Satan with Mohammed. Which, again, historically was what was "widely believed", i.e. Mahomet/Baphomet/Mohammed was a heretic and the devil's henchman.

This would mean that you are supporting the right of people to equate Mohammed and correspondingly Muslims with Satan and Satanists.

Which last I checked, was disparaging a religious group, one who doesn't take too kindly to that sort of thing.

So, I don't see where they are making a point to remove idols, but they are attempting to disparage a religion. Now, their intent I'm guessing was to get Christians all riled up but when you look at the historical facts of the matter they really are disparaging Islam.

So, as I said, they care about the Constitution so much that they wipe their bums with historical facts.

They're rabble-rousers, nothing more nothing less. Their point is to be as insulting and idiotic as possible. Nothing more nothing less.

That's because many of them are just as indoctrinated and intolerant as any religious group.

Indoctrinated into what?
Atheism is disbelief of theism. There is no doctrine to follow. Very asinine thing for you to state.

As for intolerance, atheists are humans like everyone else. There is no atheist doctrine that says we have to be nice.

It was an exaggeration. Many atheists feel it is their duty to cram their view of the universe down the throats of all who disagree with them, and then relentlessly ridicule anybody who doesn't see it their way. They are just as obnoxious and intolerant as religious groups that do the exact same thing.

Again WTF

Atheism is disbelief of theism. That is all it is. There is no common view of the universe among atheists for us to cram down anyone's throat. There is no doctrine. There is no ideology. There is no worldview.

The only common thing among atheists is disbelief of theists' claims that a god exists.

I suspect you are referring to science in some way?
 
Satanism is not a religion, its an occult.

As for atheism...yes, there are quite a few that do everything that they can to cram their own belief down other peoples throats and ridicule anyone that doesn't think the same as them. IE: There is no God. Its one of the very reasons why the Mods seperated the philosophy and religion forum if you want a small example.

The common view of the universe is that no form of God exists at all. Many try to push their opinions onto other people and attempt to take an intellectual high ground and ridicule all who disagree with them. I'm saying this as an atheist myself, by the way. I accept that my view of the universe cannot yet be proven, and perhaps never will be, and I do not judge people that choose to have faith. Please don't try to act like many atheists are not extremely intolerant and obnoxious. Many of them are just as bad as the religious zealots they hate so much.
