Plus a massive American pornography industry - well, at least when it wasn’t all over the interwebs for free.

Ah, it sounds like you don’t actually know anything about the Church of Satan. It’s essentially an atheist organization. I wouldn’t say it’s in the same category when it comes to “myth believers” as Christians…

Yeah, I realize that they are pretending; that’s why I said they were being ironic. But the other side isn’t playing, which was my basic point.

Actually, a common dodge is to allow public installation of a privately-funded religious statue/emplacement/etc. Yes, it’s still NOT OK, unless you allow any/all groups to do the same, of course, but nonetheless, that’s how they (attempt to) justify such.

You folks missed something more important than some Baphomet statues!.
They messed up THE 10 COMMANDMENTS on the existing monument!!!
This is Blasphemy!!!
Please join in and contact the state to insist they cover that abomination until they can correct it to reflect the one true list !!
See for yourself! A good start is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#The_Ten_Commandments
It compares several of the versions, so no matter what version they are selling you, you can show they made a grievous error tantamount to blasphemy and therefore the monument is offensive and must be corrected!

Baphomet has pants
Baphomet has a sick collection of bolo ties made of avocado skins and hulls, but wears an ever-hungering wolf; I am looking for his use of the Mission Enduracool Techknit Cooling Hoodie (perhaps in future public statuary.) -vOv- hm. harder than it looks.

It must be hard when “faith over reason” is kind of the whole gig.
Once one rejects all the superstitions one is technically no Christian!
Speaking of commandments, child rape (or any kind of rape) remains glaringly absent from their list of thou shalt not’s.
ETA: I do recall some New Testament verse about child harmer’s being better off jumping in the water with a millstone around their necks, but to warn against ‘coveting oxen’ over ‘rape’ makes Jehovah’s commandment priorities seem rather questionable.

Indeed, it is almost like his hang up about the religious conflict blinds him to the actual argument about separating Church and State. Politicians, eh?

Well said. The fanatical right may be the loudest group but the rest are probably more numerous. There are still many that that heed Jesus’ words such as Matthew 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
[at first I wondered why thy Father would seethe, but then I realized that this was from the King James Version and that I was reading that wrong]

A monument that breaks one of the Commandments by sporting a graven image of a bald eagle.

“No matter what these extremists may claim, it will be a very cold day in hell before an offensive statue will be forced upon us to be permanently erected on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol.”
Woosh!
