Save ourselves from what exactly?

 

 

Condemnation from his benevolent creator, perhaps?

His mum must be quite terrifying if he feels the need to warn random people on the internet.

Jeeze, your advice = awesome.. I SAVED my code all by myself and prevented possible data loss!

I think this article explains it the best I've seen:

 

http://onenewsnow.com/perspectives/bryan-fischer/2014/01/08/idol-to-satan-highlights-importance-of-religion-in-1st-amendment

 

Basically the argument is that the intent of the 1st amendment was to prohibit the federal government from establishing an official Christian "Church of the USA", similar to the Church of England at the time. Other religions are not dealt with, which means they are left up to the state governments. So to sum it up, Oklahoma can do whatever it wants...

Thank you, I just checked my insurance payments and they seemed a bit high so I made a quick 15 min call and saved myself 15%.

Retarded article is retarded, given who wrote it, it makes sense.

It's kinda cool having a statue of satan here in Madrid.

 

 

 

 

Probably not nearly as badass as the one propossed in Oklahoma, but cool nonetheless.

And interestingly enough, the statue also happens to sit at a topographic elevation of 666 meters.

[Hum]

Our true Master is recognized at last. :shifty:

wasn't it obvious i'm sarcastic? lel /s  :pinch:

[sanctified Veteran]

NOT funny...

 

He was not trying to tell a joke. I support his idea.

 

 

 

Despite these devilish details, the organization claims the project is not just an elaborate prank, and points out they don't actually worship Satan, just the idea of free expression. In that vein, the statue is meant to counterbalance the Ten Commandments statue that was constructed outside the Oklahoma Capitol building in 2012, following years of controversy and debate. Critics of that older monument say it marks a de facto endorsement of Christianity by the state government and therefore violates the US Constitution's "establishment clause" against a national religion.

 

This, actually, makes sense.

 

The Christianity endorsement in America is not only de facto, but also de jure. It's, in all ways, officialized. This must be stopped.

[Arachno 1D]

Maybe they should protest outside the building dresses as death complete with scythe

Your opinion. Though with no explanation of why "retarded article" is retarded, or why your opinion is so not retarded.

 

Obviously a lot of people don't agree with the basis of the article on how the 1st amendment should be interpreted. I've read history and I think it makes sense that it was only to prohibit an official Christian denomination. I thought he was rather open-minded on the subject for a Christian, especially since the argument could be used by Oklahoma to remove the 10 commandments statue as well as prevent a statue of Satan. But either decision would be non of the federal governments business.

... Why not a statue of Hitler while you're at it. Whether or not you believe it exists, Satan is a symbol of evil, and has no place in the public space.

[Noir Angel]

The God of the bible causes more violence that Satan ever does, seriously read the damn thing. From the eyes of a non believer the 2 are different sides of the same coin. Quite frankly no "do what you're told or be tortured" story can possibly be good.

Satan's Shrine. Check.

God's Shrine. Check.

Justitia's Shrine. Check.

Mohamed's Shrine... oh well.

Islam is evil and has brought nothing but death and hatred to this world.  Look at what is happening all over the world right now, even in the streets of London, at the hands of Muslims.  I am an agnostic and am pretty tolerant of most religious beliefs, but Islam needs to be eradicated post-haste if humanity is to have any hope of surviving another thousand years.

Well to be honest history will show that Christian crusades in the Far East took many a non Christian life too
