The Satanic Temple unveiled its statue Thursday of a goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet during a First Amendment rally at the Arkansas State Capitol to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the Capitol grounds.

With Satanists, atheists and Christians among those in attendance, several speakers called for the removal of the Ten Commandments monument or for state government officials to install Baphomet as well. The Satanic Temple said the Ten Commandments monument violates constitutional freedom of religion rights and that installation of their statue will demonstrate religious tolerance.



Satanic Arkansas cofounder Ivy Forrester, who helped organize the rally, said "if you're going to have one religious monument up then it should be open to others, and if you don't agree with that then let's just not have any at all."

I agree with them. Now if only someone would set up a statue of the FSM too!
 
Well, that's the ugliest thing I ever saw...I imagine Satan to be rather attractive, not repulsive looking...how else could he deceive people so well?

That's not Satan.
 
Which establishment of religion is being respected by the 10 commandments?

not the ugliest thing i have seen but since they don't believe in satan as a person and are not out to deceive others it makes sense they aren't pushing for the most attractive sculpture

and as they don't want the government dealing with religion but demand that the government shows no favoritism if they do monuments that offend the sensibilities of those who push for their religion to be connected to the government make sense

your hoping someone will desoty other people's property that they are using as a protest of uniting religion (especially one religion) and state because you don't like how it looks?

As a youngster, I read Levay's "Satanic bible" and it had some appeal at the time. It teaches man as just another animal, "indulgence over abstinence" self as god. Very selfish and self centered.

I will pass.

Well, that's par for the course...Satan is very selfish...
 
I personally think that thing would look a lot better in front of the William Jefferson Clinton Library and Massage Parlour .
