Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
Src: http://www.vice.com/read/heres-the-f...ource=vicefbus
Interesting topic, think they'll get it put up, or do you think the powers that be will remove the 10 commandments before allowing that to stand? Other thoughts? |

I can't really put together the words needed to explain my thought on this topic. It's just.. why?

Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
Nice artwork I guess. They will probably remove both.

Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse

Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
I think this is exactly what needed to happen.
Church and State are separate. This is not hard for rational people to understand. Somebody finds a loophole to drop some Christian religious iconography onto government property, this is -exactly- how you make them either change the rules to adhere to the constitution, or else sure, door's open for everybody, and the lawn will be covered in every kind of religious symbol possible. |

Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
i think it's hilarious that they've made it this far
there's no way they'd remove the ten commandments monument even though the only reason it's there is the movie "the ten commandments" back in the 70s and it had nothing to do with any religious people demanding that the statue be there satanists are every bit as retarded as "fundamentalist" christians |

Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
are you retarded
not showing anything would not be in violation of the establishment clause cuz like, not showing anything means they don't favor anything this isn't tgb you're allowed to use actual logic here |
Re: Satanic Monument for OK Statehouse
Well freedom of religion was one of the things people came to America for in it's formative years (obviously not how it WAS back then, but the principle is true), so it would seem a little weird that they'd pick and choose which religions you can freely worship nowadays. Now I'm sure that they'll just loophole it so they couldn't put the statue up cause they aren't showcasing a religion, but a movie.

Hilariously bad decade placement of that movie aside, this statement is idiotic. Quote:
Like dev said, this is legally an all-or-nothing proposition; if they do try to loophole it so that one monument stands and another can't it'll eventually get overturned because such a preference is obviously illegal. --Guido |

But you're right, if a hatred for a group is strong enough, people will find a way to make it know even if it would make things harder for them. Reminds me of the high school in Utha that banned school clubs cause they didn't want a GSA club at their school. I swear, this "Land of the Free" thing needs to come with stipulations like "Void Where Phrohibited" and "Some Restrictions May Apply." |
