That Baphomet statue is so amazingly cool and so lovely - I don’t see why anyone would have an issue with it. Religious freedom is protected in this country, no matter what religion or who is practicing it. Satan is also known as the bright Day Star, there is a freedom even greater within the teachings of Satanism than you’ll find in any modern “christian” practice; all are welcome. Come in children, come in.
I bought a Baphomet statue on Etsy because of that incident. Sadly, it doesn’t include the kids adoring Baphomet, buts it’s still cool as fuck on the top of my book case. Support an artist and let his loving gaze grace your home today!
Oh that is very cool. I didn’t know such a thing was possible! I’ll check out Etsy to see if I can find it. I definitely want that! It’s the kind of occult art object i’m really into.
I’ve seen many documentaries about this statue and from the first, I found it beautiful and engrossing. But then again, I’ve never been a christian - my family’s pagan roots go back to the very beginning of time. And to honest, I sometimes find “christian” churches and cathedrals “terrifying” in their preservation of a dark-ages kind of sad reverence for spooky dieities and weird rituals. And paintings that are mystifying.
I think you are getting downvoted because you don’t know what The Satanic Temple is all about. It definitely is not about worshipping some fictional being. It’s motto is: “Empathy. Reason. Advocacy.” They enjoy exposing the hypocrisy of religious, but also do advocacy work for good causes.
I don’t care about down votes. I am commenting specifically on the guy that evoked Morning Daylight as name for satan, and asserted his pagan family “could be dated to the beginning of time itself”
But , people like clicking arrows more than reading . Not my problem.
See the funniest part about satanism is there’s really no worship or even belief of existence.
Most satanists don’t actually believe Satan exists nor do they worship him. They just follow the thought of not being an asshole or using your religious beliefs to dictate how others live their lives
You definitely don’t understand the motives behind The Satanic Temple’s actions.
I’m not a member, nor do I follow news on them specifically, but they’re all about freedom of speech and belief, treating people equally and compassionately with unbiased justice for all, accepting personal fault and forgiving others, and keeping religion out of the public sphere. Basically a lot of what Jesus taught but which modern “Christian” Americans do not follow.
They do not actively believe in Satan nor do they worship him / it.
They use their donations and membership fees for pushing against religion in public institutions and religious hypocrisy, and fighting for freedom of expression, with sometimes hilarious results.
You’d know all that just from being a reddit follower for a number of years.

Lol I was a Christian fundie when they first unveiled the statue. I found it genuinely terrifying

Your whack job fiction might be cool, but it’s still whack job fiction.
Edit : so many satanists. Who knew ?

Oh
So you’re commenting on one very specific niche case and extrapolating it to the entire group.
I call it “replying”
I was thinking more about the thought part that comes before the replying.

Just as valid as everyone else’s whack job fiction though, which is the point they always try to make.
Or, equally invalid, as whack job fiction tends to be .
Wut
