Satanic Temple unveils 7-foot goat-headed Baphomet statue

Tabnabs

“The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond. The statue will serve as a beacon calling for compassion and empathy among all living creatures. 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,” spokesman Lucien Greaves explained.

It's being done in reprisal to a Ten Commandments monument on the statehouse grounds in Oklahoma City.

Maybe we should consider letting them build it in Ireland, foreign direct investment and all that? Imagine the tourist draw.

Any suggestions on a suitable site for his Satanic Majesty?

Leinster house?

'In response' surely, rather than 'reprisal'.

Ours could go up at Bertie's old constituency office there.

I love that Baphomet is just sitting there trying to ignore the two kids and clearly waving at some young one.

You don't see Jesus doing that.

Lawmakers in Oklahoma, however, have insisted that the Satanists should not be given the same treatment as Christians.

“This is a faith-based nation and a faith-based state,” Rep. Earl Sears (R-Bartlesville) said. “I think it is very offensive they would contemplate or even have this kind of conversation.”

Sweet ironing.

It looks like he's giving the finger to somebody behind him.

Yeh...go Satan!

A LEVEYAN satanist statue in the town hall?

Over my dead body. This town is orthodox satanist and always will be!

Not as impressive as this goat, yelling like a man. :pac:

I heard that if you run around the statue twelve times you see God.

After other groups — including PETA and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — asked for their own displays, the Oklahoma City Capitol Preservation Commission placed a moratorium on new monuments at the statehouse.

You've got my attention

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist, ...outside of Oklahoma, where he now has his own statue to subtly counter that point.

Sure, why not. Let them at it.

Does anybody else think it looks really cheap and tacky, I thought the devil was meant to be the cool one

They could have at least put in some red glass/jewels for his eyes

Does anyone realise that this Lucifer is a creationist?

Surely theres no-one more hated on Boards than someone who doesn't believe in Darwin? Oh and since he was kicked out of his job as Gods "go to" man ; that means hes on the dole.

Thats probably your money that hes burning.
