Group Unveils Satan Statue Design for Oklahoma

[SV Fan]

You want to get kicked out of a plentiful garden with a fully naked chick? The Garden of Eden was a sex paradise. You know she had a rockin' body. The snake was jealous because he didn't have a human penis.

Actually the Garden of Eden was sex free till the snake came

Snake +1
God 0

 

[Breogan]

Actually the Garden of Eden was sex free till the snake came

That's what she said.

 

[Doctor Evo]

But not really.

Except yes really.

You lose.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Now, I assume these Satanists don't really worship Satan, right? They're just a bunch of atheists / deists trying to prove a point?

Tee hee.

I think they actually worship satan.

 

[SV Fan]

I think they actually worship satan.

I think most satanists are really atheist. They just embrace Satan because they know it pisses off Christians(they view him more figuratively then literally)

In summary:

Some see Satan as rebellious, heroic, representing a crisis of faith, and they enjoy the symbolism.

There is also a Satanic Bible.

It's all about exploring your own nature and having fun with it. That sort of thing.

Here's Maralyn Manson speaking well of satanism.

It's not really what people think it is. It's somewhat misunderstood.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Sounds like they're just having fun with Christians to me.

 

[Feenix]

Sometimes, you have to be outlandish to make a point.

Way I view satanists is (comparing them to gay people) you have your normal gay people and the gay people who show up at those gay pride parades as flamboyant as ever, Satanists are the gay pride parade form of atheist

Apparently they are a Satanist group from New York.

Quotes from Anton LaVey


“Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.”

“It has been said, 'the truth will make men free.' The truth alone has never made anyone free. It is only doubt which will bring mental emancipation.”

“Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.”

“Satanism advocates practicing a modified form of the Golden Rule. Our interpretation of this rule is: "Do unto others as they do unto you"; because if you "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and they, in turn, treat you badly, it goes against human nature to continue to treat them with consideration. You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve.”

“You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think you can.”

C'mon, people. We live in the information age.

Atheists don't believe in Satan any more than they believe in God(s).

 

[Thundercrack85]

My point is they don't actually worship Satan (or even believe in him).

Most of them are presumably atheists, deists or Christians who are disillusioned with organized religion.

 

[The End]

They have their own philosophy on how to live your life.

 

[Canadian Rider]

If the statue falls on someone and kills them ... Who get's to say "satan made me do it!"

 

[Great Cthulhu]

You know what this means Piper? If they get this thing out there, they can't stop a Cthulhu monument.

I like your thinking!

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Overreacting to some loser group presenting a Satan statue is literally like the real-world version of feeding the troll. They need attention and love attention, especially when it's of the offended variety. Best thing the public could do is ignore it.

 

[Mike_D202]

This isn't about "religious freedom," it's another "let's piss off the Christians" move that seem to be endless these days. They want to build it right next to the 10 commandments...they aren't fooling anyone with the fake reasoning they went with to the media.

Anybody who tries to bait or bash other religions on purpose (against Christians or Christians against) are nothing more than immature idiots with too much time.

I agree with this. I'm an atheist, but it's the height of hypocrissy to take Christians to task for pushing their religion on to you, when you pull provocative and trollish stunts like this.

Whether you believe in God or don't believe, the most important thing is you don't forcefully impose your views on others, especially in a purposely offensive manner.

 

[Thundercrack85]

In fairness, and I do think this is silly, but it's the Christians who put up that monument who started this fight.

This ridiculous statue is a response to that monument.

Is it inappropriate? Yeah. But that's the point. Will that point be lost on the people who put up the Christian monument? Probably.

Then they are contradicting themselves because Atheists believe in no God.

 

[Warhammer]

Satanists...

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Then they are contradicting themselves because Atheists believe in no God.

Atheist Satanist don't really worship or believe in Satan.

They just say they do to antagonize Christian fundamentalist.
