Oklahoma statehouse has 10 Commandments on its lawn, so Satanic worshipers want equal time and here's the monument they want to erect. Kinda neat. Even cooler, they needed 20k for the statue to be created and got 30k rather quickly and the organizers were surprised by the quickness of the donations.

1. I Like It, Sir

I like it a lot....

[rock]

2. Is that the Christian Satan?

(I assume it is.)

[alittlelark]

3. Heads will LITERALLY explode....

They will go ballistic.

4. It's Oklahoma, not Tennessee

And it's disturbing, IMO.

6. I agree it's disturbing but I find this even more disturbing:

7. Yeah, cause that happened like last week. nt

[JJChambers]

9. Why is it disturbing?

[B2G]

12. The adoring children gazing at it for starters.

[JJChambers]

13. How is that more disturbing than children gazing at Jesus?

[eShirl]

17. Could it be...

?

[chrisstopher]

5. Make that Oklahoma

And I can"t wait!

[Reter]

8. That will probably be destroyed fast in Oklahoma

I give it a week, tops.

16. It's insured for twice its cost.

The group putting it up says that for every one that gets demolished, they'll immediately recast two new ones just like it.

I think it's kind of nifty.

[Solomon]

10. There's a statue of George Washington that is

exactly the same except for the head.

[Archae]

11. Except that isn't Satan.

It's the "goat god" from ancient Europe.

Satan himself is never described in detail in the Bible.
All the depictions of Satan are from the Middle Ages, when "Christian leaders" decided that Satan had to look like "Pan."

[TexasProgresive]

14. That was my first thought, Pan.

My image of Satan would be a handsome man or a beautiful woman who are charming to the nth degree. But I grant this one thing it will certainly upset some fundy evangelical wackos.

For some hard shell Southern Baptists this guy might fit the bill.


Or better yet in bronze

[moriah]

15. I'd much rather see a shrine to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. n/t

[superpatriotman]

18. I'm suspicious that the Satanists are phony

The whole thing seems phony, protected, but phony.
