Satanic Monument At the State Capitol

[nich018]

I'm still pissed off about the damned indian on the dome. I don't care if the whole freakin' place implodes on itself ...

The dome was a big waste of money IMO. (yeah I know where the money came from). Still a waste. Why be like every other capitol bldg.

I think they should get to put something. As long as they pay for it like the Christians paid for their ten rule things on the property. Oh and by the way...

Heck id like to see a swastika. Im sure we can get the votes, as long as we hide its TRUE meaning.

It will be destroyed in the first couple of days it's put up. They better save money for armed guards because it will fall and fast...

Bring on the felonies!

I'm not ruling out a bluff here, either. Garner up enough support for a Satanic monument and watch the rise in voluntary support to remove the 10 Commandments. Leave the Capital lawn uncluttered the way it should have been the entire time.

Yes, the 10 Commandments are so offensive. Anybody in their right frame of mind should be offended by the 10 Commandments!

They want to put something up with a 'pentagram' on it. Most probably the inverted version. Which I think they have the right to do but I think that would be a bad move. Pagans, Wiccans, etc, use the 'pentacle' (5 pointed star in a circle) as a symbol of their faith which is symbolllically completely opposite of the way an inverted version of the 'pentagram' is used by Satanists and other groups. Theyre both pentagrams in the sense of the word pentagram but the inverted version is most associated with Satanic groups, rock bands, etc. It is a symbol of negative energies and hate, etc. Im agnostic with pagan leanings and I wear a pentacle and all the time people confuse it with an inverted pentagram, I try to explain it as best as I can to them. They couldnt be more different though than an apple to an orange. If they were to put something up with a pentacle on it then it would be a passive move not meant to be negative or hateful, but I think putting up anything with an inverted pentagram would invite alot of hateful and negative energy to the area. Still, they do have the right to do it I believe if the 10 Commandments stays there because by letting Christians have their symbol of faith up then theyre just inviting all of these other groups to want to put their symbols up also. Either invite all groups of religions or faiths to be represented, or do not let anyone represent. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

I'm surprised they don't have an inverted pentagram already.

That's not the point.

I am not offended by it. I am offended that it is at my States Capitol building.

Damn that freedom of religion clause.

Oh I have no problem with it. I think it is stupid but it is their right.

I am afraid this is correct.

Yes seems a lot of people, even a few here, have a problem with politicians being reminded of how they should be.
