Satanists are a gruff lot. They don't kid around.

Looks like it could easily be burned down:

As for the amoral, hypocritical Newsom - I'm glad he didn't light up a Christmas tree or Menorah.

Anton used that imagery of Satan depicted as a goat in his weird little screeds.

Stolen from the 1856 work of Éliphas Lévi, “Dogme et rituel de la haute magie”.

Previously attributed to the Knights Templar and the Crusades.

The one on the left looks a bit like a Yule goat. Scandinavian tradition.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

The only way Michigan can save itself is to adopt Islam as the state religion and declare an Islamic republic.
I’m pretty sure Iran will help them out.
D.C. won’t mind or do anything about it.

Celebrating beastiality! Much like the Minotaur.

A dead goat at that!

Judges 6: 30 Then the men of the town said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has broken down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah beside it.”

31 But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been broken down.”

The Satanic Temple claims not to believe in a literal personal Satan. They are the modernist theologians of Satanism.

Satan as a metaphor for ruling class "progressive" interests. So iconography and costumes aside, basically "mainline" liberal Protestants. Some call it Satan, others call it "God".

Not to be confused with any Being Who created the universe etc.

D.C. You are correct! Echos of of older Scandinavian (and pagan) customs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_goat Julbok.

"Other traditions are possibly related to the sheaf of corn called the Yule goat. In Sweden, people regarded the Yule goat as an invisible spirit that would appear some time before Christmas to make sure that the Yule preparations were done right.[2] Objects made out of straw or roughly-hewn wood could also be called the Yule goat, and in older Scandinavian society a popular Christmas prank was to place this Yule goat in a neighbour's house without them noticing; the family successfully pranked had to get rid of it in the same way. "

Maybe Michigan should not treat this as a Satanic thing. Need some members of the Michican Legislature take the "goat" in a van and slyly deposit it in the State house in Indianapolis or Madison and fob it off as just their expression of a Scandinavian Tradition!

Ok. Julbok slide over.

They’re primarily people who want to provoke a reaction so they can get a lawsuit going. Scammers in other words! Best ignored, just brats screaming for attention!

These “Satanists” do not, of course, believe in Satan. This is only done to raise a middle finger to Jewish and Christian, and now, Islamic groups by their misuse of the Freedom of Religion to look down on and insult believers.
