Remember my
post<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2013/12/11/satanists-plan-statue-next-to-ten-commandments/>of
about a month ago, on a group of New York-based devil worshippers who
call themselves the *Satanic Temple* -- in the name of "religious parity"
-- planning to erect a monument to Satan next to the Ten Commandments
outside the state capitol building in Oklahoma?

In 2009, the conservative-led Oklahoma state legislature approved
a privately funded Ten Commandments monument, which was erected last year
outside the state Capitol building. Ever since the approval, opponents have
called into question the constitutionality of the monument. The Oklahoma
chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit seeking
its removal.
Similar requests for other "religious parity" monuments have been made by a
Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group and the satirical Church of
the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
In response, the *Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission* recently placed
a moratorium on considering any new requests. “Anybody can still make their
request, but we’ll hold off on considering them until the [ACLU] lawsuit is
adjudicated,” commission Chairman Trait Thompson said.
Well, the Satanic Temple has chosen a design for their monument.

<http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/01/06/n-y-group-applies-to-build-satan-statue-at-oklahoma-state-capitol/>reports
from Oklahoma City that yesterday, Jan. 6, 2014, the Satanic Temple
unveiled designs for a 7-foot-tall statue of Satan. The group hasy
submitted its application to the Capitol Preservation Commission, including
an artist’s rendering that depicts Satan as *Baphomet*, a goat-headed
figure with horns, wings and a long beard that’s often used as a symbol of
the occult. In the rendering, Satan is sitting in a pentagram-adorned
throne with smiling children next to him.

Satanic Temple spokesman *Lucien Greaves* said in a statement: “The
monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma
City and beyond. The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair
where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and
contemplation.”
The push by The Satanic Temple has rankled elected leaders in this
conservative state known as the buckle of the Bible Belt, who say such a
proposal would never be approved by the commission.
“I think you’ve got to remember where you are. This is Oklahoma, the middle
of the Heartland,” said *Rep. Don Armes* (R-Faxon). “I think we need to be
tolerant of people who think different than us, but this is Oklahoma, and
that’s not going to fly here.”
Another Oklahoma legislator, *Rep. Earl Sears *(R-Bartlesville), called the
group’s effort “an insult to the good people of the state. I do not see
Satanism as a religion, and they have no place at the state Capitol.”

But Greaves says "We plan on moving forward one way or another" and claims
to have raised nearly half of the $20,000 needed to build the monument.
