Satanists want statue next to 10 Commandments

[lafinjack]

Lots of lawmakers have been accused of devilish behavior, but Oklahoma's state capitol may become the first to actually have a monument to Satan

Good on them for fighting the good fight.

C'mon pastafarians, I expect a Flying Spaghetti Monster monument!

also A+ Satanist for considering a kids play structure. You get your trolling in while also actually doing something valuable.

[lafinjack]

There is definitely one there.

There's a group of Hindus from, i think, California? That have also applied to put up a statue. I just read about it this morning.

I'm onboard with this.

on a side note, a loooooong time ago I read the Satanic Bible (is that what it's called? I forget) and found that it seemed mostly a manifesto for hedonism. My 14 year old self was disappointed.

[lafinjack]

I read it a couple years ago and yeah, that's about it.

I think the Temple of Satan is a relatively new group, separate from the Church of Satan. The guy who founded the Church of Satan wrote the Satanic Bible, and yeah, his philosophy is basically all about hedonism.

Satanism isn't as bad as a lot of people imagine and this is pretty damn cool. Love it.
