Is it weird that i read "Arkham" instead of Arkansas? It does fit.

Cool statue tho. Still religion, would not buy.
 
That is a surprisingly impressive statue, wow.

Makes me smile to contemplate the butthurt this is probably causing no small number of bible thumpers.

Not even possessions by mind altering drugs? They make a person think the devil told them to...

nope, but you clearly don't even require mind altering drugs to think such nonsense.

But, per your argument, Satan is a fictional character. Some would argue that God also is. I just happen to believe that both exist and that some humans are not naturally evil, nor good.

i didn't even make an argument in this thread but once again you prove my first statement to be true.
 
Nice statue you’ve got there...

If there is actually a loving god out there who controls an actual heaven I sincerely hope that causing butthurt to bible thumpers is how you get in.

Never read the before Christ part of the Bible have you? The demanding, spiteful, jealous and controlling small penis syndrome GOD?

Sure, I love those stories. They're the ones that are best to torture the bible thumpers with. Find a person that claims to be a believer, beat the shit out of them with what a giant douchebag their fake god is, make them cry.

Of course not. I don't quite agree with this (if only because the point will almost certainly be lost on those they're trying to make it to), but I do recognize that the purpose of this display is to demonstrate the fallacy of trying to implement Mosaic religious law in a country founded upon freedom of religion.
IOW, people who wouldn't want another's religion forced upon them by law should not try to force their religion on others by law.

I didn't know demons would battle each other. If I were a religious man I'd believe that Trump is a manifestation of the Devil.

Well gawd if we have to, we'll put up with the devil incarnate, as long as he's an anti abortionist, anti LGBT, and won't make me have healthcare against my will, then so be it.. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
 
Meh. After thinking about this a bit more, I realize that Christians have no need to get butt-hurt over this. I must say, even as a Christian, the attention to detail on the statue is very good. Kudos to the artist.

But I'm not bothered. Not in the slightest, and any Christian that falls for this is just allowing themselves to be trolled. The reason I'm not at all concerned is because the values of the Satanic Church are very, very poor at reproducing themselves from one generation to the next. Those values are basically whatever benefits you in the moment is okay (because that's what it is - the worship of one's self). These values are antinatalistic by default, and thus, suppress birth rates. Not exactly values you want if you intend on passing the United States off to the next generation to govern, but I digress.

Let it stand. It'll crumble on its own.

If your fictional god had imbued you with a sense of irony you'd be rolling on the floor laughing at that drivel. Try changing a few words...

The Christian Church is doing a damn fine job of crumbling on its own in the civilized world. The only thing propping it up is the birthrate among the poor and stupid. Your impotent little god will wind up on the scrapheap of history with Thor, Zeus, Saturn and Ra. Just give it time, it's crumbling as surely as that statue is.
