Wasnāt that a shitty movie?
Hail Eris! I see that she is busy in OKā¦
From the Al Jazeera article about this:
āRep. Bobby Cleveland, R-Slaughterville ā one of the Republican lawmakers behind an ongoing push to build a chapel in the Capitol ā hung up when he received an interview request on the Satanistsā proposal from Al Jazeera.ā
You canāt make this shit up.
The American Taliban donāt like to be associated with their international competition, no matter how tenuous the connection may be.
As a liberal Episcopalian, I wouldnāt support an actual Satanic monument on state grounds*, but I sure do support the point that these guys are making, and if they have to go as far as installing an actual statue to make it, than so be it.
*I also wouldnāt support a state-endorsed statue of either Mickey Mouse or Ayn Rand, for pretty much the same reasons.
The point is that there is a statue of the 10 commandments there. I donāt think there should be either a satanic monument or a christian one there, but if they allow one, failing to allow the other is clearly establishment of religion.
Yeah, thatās my point as well. There shouldnāt be any religious monuments there, but if threatening to install (or, if necessary, actually installing) a Satanic monument is what it takes to get the 10 Commandments removed, then so be it.
Heh heh heh. Heās probably still holed up in his doomsday bunker even now.
That She is. 
Iād say thatās unfair to Al Jazeera.
Sorry dude. I missed that. My bad.
Assuming thereās no law that requires it to be in āgood tasteā (whatever that means), I suggest they attempt to establish a monument that is in the worst taste possible, just because.
Donāt forget the Pastafarians!
Iām more offended at āthis is a faith based nationā than the satanist trolling.
This is a nation founded with the concept of freedom of faith with no state sponsored or favored religion.
The comments at the original article are surprising.
lick-able statue?
Rule 34.
I donāt think Rep. Sears who said āthis is a faith-based nationā gets that the Satanists have faith also, and that heās advocating establishing his faith over theirs, in direct violation of the First Amendment.
And as someone with Evangelical and Quaker backgrounds, I really donāt like it when the government tries to take Godās name in vain by using the 10 Commandments to try to boost its own ego; itās rather clearly violating the faith that he says the nation is based on by doing so.
I absolutely agree, but that means nothing in a court of law.
Iāve lived in a small country town that was quite far from the Bible Belt, and yet establishment of religion is alive and well there. A minister offers prayers at commencement, and the high school chorus has a few hymns in their repertoire, and if anybody doesnāt like it, a little social pressure usually solves that problem. Theyāre really nice people who never hurt anybody like themselves, and never meet anybody who isnāt.
