They’d better get used to it, the filthy heretical hypocrites are all going to be spending eternity in Satan’s close proximity.
Christians fail to see the irony. How they view the satanic display at the capital building is how most of us view it when we see federal and state buildings displaying Christianity. It’s either all fine or none of it is. Don’t want to be angry? Then keep religion out of politics!
Oh, they get it. That’s why they put those displays up in the first place.
Exactly. It’s a gigantic middle finger to anyone not in their little book club. The gaslighting they do about it - batting their eyes and saying, “but this country was founded on Judeo-xtian principles”, etc - is just icing on the cake for them.
"but this country was founded on Judeo-xtian principles”
And what a filthy lie that is. Most of the Founders were deists, and they despised organized religion. Thomas Jefferson made an edited version of the New Testament with all the miracles and superstitions bullshit removed. It was a thin volume.
Thank you! I always like to inform xtianists about this. :)
When they go on about how how this country “was founded on xtianity”, I ask them if anyone told Jefferson this “fact” of theirs. When they are like…huh? I tell them about his version of “the” bible, which without question would have been considered a “heresy” he could have been murdered over in other parts of the planet, and during his lifetime.
I also like how these people like to try Thomas Paine erasure; probably because the likes of Teddy Roosevelt called him a “dirty little atheist” - it got even weirder when the likes of Glenn Beck - who is in the LDS - tried to appropriate Paine - I was totally confused by that one, but hey, these guys are great at rewriting history and trying to appropriate things…
Sorry Catholics, but every time I see the depiction of a person tortured, bloodied, and nailed to a piece of wood, my automatic gut reaction is revulsion and disgust. First at the imagery itself, and then more deeply at the fact that otherwise sane people feel like this a completely normal thing to adorn their houses and bodies with. This is no different, people are just not accustomed to seeing Satanic imagery and symbolism in public, which is the whole fucking point.
Carpenter got nails in his hands. Seems a bit careless of him.
Republicans outraged because [insert person/thing] made conservatives see/hear [insignificant thing] they could manufacture outrage over.
Repeat again tomorrow.
I believe the last time these people encountered such religious intolerance, they left Europe for the new world. Time for them to seek another new world…

They were booted out by the Dutch and weren’t welcome back in England. They didn’t quit, they were fired. And the reason they were so despised was because of their own religious intolerance. When they established colonies, they quickly became dystopian hellholes crawling with witch-hunters and similar con artists.
So, you say they’re doing it again…?
Mars awaits!
Great… stick them in Starship with space Karen and let them blast off then
What do you call people who believe in satan?

Well, yes, technically any Abrahamic religion.
Well, these are who’s in charge of the country now. Hope this is what the electorate wanted.
