Satanic statue erected in Illinois statehouse

A satanic statue has been erected in a government building in Illinois to mark the beginning of Christmas. Illinois is considered one of the most Democratic states in the United States.

The demonic four-foot sculpture depicts a snake coiled around an outstretched arm holding an apple. It’s the first Satanic display sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the Temple of Satan.

BBC News reports: The state government said the temple had the same right as other religious groups to have a display.

“Under the Constitution, the First Amendment, people have a right to express their feelings, their thoughts,” Dave Druker, spokesman for the Illinois secretary of state, told the State Journal-Register. “This recognises that.”

The move has been criticised on social media by Illinois Family Action, an anti-abortion pressure group.

Past decorations in the statehouse rotunda, in the state capital Springfield, have included a “Festivus” pole – a reference to a fictional holiday which was the subject of an episode of the sitcom Seinfeld.

What is the Satanic Temple?

Founded in 2012 in Salem, Massachusetts, the Temple of Satan describes itself as a non-theistic group that aims to “encourage benevolence and empathy among all people”.

It says its uses satanic imagery to promote the separation of church and state and to campaign for “practical common sense and justice”.

It has 15 official chapterhouses in the US, the biggest of which is based in Michigan.

The temple was started by Harvard graduate Doug Mesner, known as “Lucien Greaves”, and an individual known as “Malcolm Jerry”.

In a speech, Mr Greaves said the group had had “thousands” of membership applications since the election of US President Donald Trump in 2016.

Earlier this year, members of a Satanic Temple placed a statue of Baphomet – a goat-like deity associated with Satanism – outside Arkansas’ statehouse during a First Amendment rally.

The group also settled a $50m copyright lawsuit against Netflix and Warner Bros last month over a statue of Baphomet used in the TV series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

  1. Yet another example of the satan worshiping elites targeting and trying to remove Christianity from our civilization(s)/society and use the “politically correctness” agenda to justify their actions among the masses.

  2. Shame. Most of the best stock comes from blue states! But then again, that’s just the deal. Blue state: everything accepted. I literally have to live in blue or blue-leaning areas of purple states because I live a “non-Christian“ lifestyle. And I don’t need to get bullied and harrassed by retarded yokels who can’t comprehend that fuck is an Old German word that means “STRIKE” and shit is an Old English/Dutch word that means “DIARRHEA” and that I “rush” because I have a lot of things to do and want to get back home to have more time for myself. And I’m not “inviting” and “welcoming” because I don’t have time for social hour when I don’t find people interesting. Etc., etc.
