Isn't that Nice, a goat baby to celebrate the Anti-Christ holiday of Sol Invictus. 🐐👿

Outrage as Illinois State Capitol Welcomes...Baby Satan for Christmas

Quote:
Christmas is a time of unity and harmony. Illinois appears to try its best to promote this cheerful spirit in its state Capitol, keeping its doors open to people of various beliefs - even the least expected ones.
The state of Illinois has seen outrage from religious leaders and other activists over the satanic display in the state Capitol, with a goat-like baby Baphomet next to traditional Christian Christmas decorations.
In contrast to the Nativity scene intended to mark the birth of Jesus, the Satanic Temple's display was dedicated to the organisation's own "holiday" named Sol Invictus. The controversial display was unveiled on Monday, and since then critics have been lashing out at the local authorities for allowing it, raging both online and offline.
The social media criticism was fuelled by the footage that emerged online, showing a group of Satanists around the demonic statue of Baphomet and repeating "Hail, Satan". Some photos offered a closer look at the "satanic deity".

I for one think it's great.

I would like to see a statue of the Goddess Eris... as she, not El, Yawheh... and sure af not Satan, is the true rule of law of this universe!

Everywhere you look, she reigns supreme, rearing her ugly head, throwing wrenches in systems...

The one true god Eris!!! is not accounted for next to Satan... I'm offended.

Embrace Chaos.

growing up, my father and I used to go to a barber named Sol.
He was a Russian Jew who went through Hell to get here...so that he and his family could be free to do things even if some were offended.

I always figured you for a Pagan and not the Atheist that you claimed to be.

And that Frank, he had a barber named after the Roman Sun God and he did offensive things.
What do you think of that?

It takes a truly decent, tolerant Jeffersonian-libertarian to decide the validity of others' religions; to want to exclude other religions' beliefs and prayers that differ from their own; to actually protest about or even interfere with another religion's worship; and to be so offended by something so harmless to others that is none of one's business. In the spirit of the season, may God bless you, yours and the actions of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property shown in the video, particularly during your special time of unity and harmony.

What, Sol (usually short for Solomon or the like) isn't good enough for you? Maybe you just shouldn't let him cut your hair and leave it at that.

Curious, why are there religious displays at all in the state capital?

Did they want a Christmas tree in the rotunda so therefore they had to open it up to all religions in order to be non-discrimintatory?

Frankly, I don't really care if the satan worshippers have a little diarama next to the tree, the nativity, the menorah and the aluminum pole (did I miss anyone?).

I think the problem is that with many religions there is a “them or us” at the core. You either believe the doctrine or you are the enemy.

I still wince every time I hear the “one way through Christ” line. Some folks think they won the religious lotto….

Is Robert saying I should be tolerant and seek harmony with Satanists, their goat baby idol, and their blood sacrifices?
I don't think that's going to happen any more than I would sing kumbaya with Marxists.

The great Jewish founder of the Austrian School in the U.S. chose a verse by Virgil to be his motto:
Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito. Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.

I would agree with the one caveat being that a good portion of satanists (that make news) are dead set on conflict with one religion.

Ray where I’m from that’s taco meat, and where I’m from trying to burn down a federal building isn’t a big deal. So you know what to do fire pit that beotch, bring some tortillas (corn) and make some goat asada.

Yes, that appears to be true and it is very sad.

(When the KKK and Nazi's here in Orlando got a parade permit for the sidewalk right in front of the entrance of the Jewish Community Center on Jew's Sabbath, our town's multi-denominational leaders encouraged all of us to just ignore them so as to not give them anymore attention or publicity. I think that is what is best here too.)

They don't actually believe in Satan. They believe in separation of church and state.

They are not necessarily evil, they are acting on their idealism...

Devout atheists if you will.

Atheists like me just sit back and laugh at the obsurdities in the chaos.

Devout atheists? How can they be devout atheists when they praise Satan and worship before a demon goat idol?
They are no more atheist than you who praises the Goddess of chaos and discord, Eris.

The 2 main satanic organizations in the country do not worship Satan. The one referenced here is The Temple of Satan is Atheistic as Ben states. They are about equality under our laws and government. The other The Church of Satan is about hedonism. Anton La Vey founded it as a way to get laid whenever he wanted. Others liked that also. BTW, Allister Crowley never sacrificed a baby.

As a side note some of our founding fathers were very hedonistic. Check out Ben Franklin and the Hells Fire Club for instance. Finally Thomas Jefferson didn't just like Fench Bordeaux. It seems he also liked colored French prostitutes.

Likely story. Satanists are atheists and don't worship Satan. Ya, right!
"They are about equality under our laws and government."?? That's what commie progressives say and we know they are full of sh*t too.
How do you know they don't do blood sacrifices? It's not like they would advertise it in the church bulletin.

I wonder what Satanists do on Sol Invictus Eve?

I agree but you should stop being reasonable it’s not fashionable apparently.

If I belonged to a church and it was in your area and the congregation didn’t decide to stand with your church in solidarity I’d leave it. Maybe that’s why I don’t attend anymore? I hate Orlando Nazis even more than Illinois Nazis.

there are many places in the world where a public display of the nativity would be offensive, and certainly would not be allowed...

it may be that tolerance for various religious practices is a symptom of more advanced societies...

are Satan worshippers Marxists? or is it ...Marxists are Satan worshippers?

reminds me of a truly regrettable event in my life...after my Mother (RIP) died, the surviving siblings (my two sisters and a brother) gathered at her house...

my sisters and I were in the process of doing a traditional Buddhist ceremony in her honor, burning incense, paper money for use in the afterlife, food offerings, etc....just like she had done on all the occasions of the passing of friends and relatives, our father and two brothers...

my brother (RIP), an ordained Christian Baptist pastor, arrived midway, and put a stop to the Buddhist ceremony...instead he did a Christian prayer and sang some songs...we joined him...

afterwards, my sisters and I were struck by his intolerance, and his insistence that we stop...we believed we could have done both...and that Mom would've been happy with both...

it took me awhile to realize that none of those events after her death were meaningful to our mother...only to her survivors

That's messed up.

It sucks that intolerance is baked into the foundations of most religions. It makes sense though, they don't want you to leave, so they don't want you getting "brainwashed" from the outside aka "the devil, or Satan".

It's so baked into religions that people infected with it can't see it any other way.

At least it wasn't Islam... once you enter there you can't come back. It's kinda like a street gang, you join for life, and the punishment for leaving is death. Would suck to be born into that one, having a belief system thrown upon you... one that you will get killed for for simply questioning it.

I wonder how things would have been different if a different base religion won... I'm guessing it wouldn't look that much different.

From a sociological point of view this is par for the course.

World religions have always been based on “death defying” believes. And when people are reminded of their mortality they become - less hospitable. When confronted with a faith other than your own, it calls in to question if you really did win the religiously lottery by picking the right beliefs. This is why many are so offended by those that do not bend knee to their chosen god.

So it goes…
