Evidently this is in a response to a Ten Commandments Display.

It is not a valid expression of religion.

The Ten Commandments are appropriate in front of a public building, as our Founding fathers based their theories of government upon English Common Law, Western Civilization, The writings of the Enlightenment, and The Bible. Although the First Four of the Decalogue refer to a relationship with the Almighty, the rest are about our relationship with Society and are the basis for our legal system. Last time I checked, Murder, Perjury, Theft, were still illegal, and Adultery is still a legal grievance in Divorce Cases. Both Civil and Criminal Law have roots in the Decalogue. It is what it is. It has nothing to do with promoting Christianity or even Judaism.

The “Baphomet”, on the other hand, is a representation of a creature who is worshiped as a god by some people, and is NOT appropriate.

JMO.

And, YES, I too am waiting eagerly for the Return of Jesus!

The ten Commandments are rules that everyone can follow, regardless of what religion they adhere to. They came from God.
Satanism was invented by Anton LeVay back in the 60s as a form of counter culture “in your face type of thing”. Its a cult for losers and druggies who add little if anything to the world. if every single Satanist dropped off the face of the Earth, no tears would be shed.
