Nungali Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Wow that's enormous! Oh wait...I didn't see the benches, and only thought I saw windmills. Turtle shell ! Isnt it bad enough that people jot nailed to crosses, let alone windmills (well, I guess they did ... I'm sure someone thought of that ) On second thoughts, it's not a bad way to go out for a heretic ... so they will probably do it to me (after the kick-arse video is released) with some added features. Better set up the video equipment again, this time for Nungali nailed to a cross (equal-armed cross thanks), then fireworks start coming out the ends of the cross and start the whole thing spinning.

BaguaKicksAss Posted December 11, 2013 It would be rather expensive ... how about this ... for a fraction of the price you could hire me and a goat ( I have two front hair curly bits on top of my head like that Pan fella ) ... you know like one those 'human statues' ( I want to explain with a pic but I found this instead ... is this the answer ??? http://kinooze.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Human-Statue3.jpg PS. You may need to drug the goat so it keeps still ... actually, you can drug me too while you are it No, no, no, no budget version for said front yard! Either styrofoam or paper mache' with waterproof coating, like the movie props. OK so you have to carve a bit, but sooo worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Actually I would object to that! Considering the 'Slow Invasion'. That would be like putting up a statue of this guy outside the U.N.

xor Posted December 11, 2013 Has anyone see the giant crosses? I have seen several while driving across Texas and Oklahoma. Such structures can be seen from 20 miles away. I imagine very few complain in those states. Does this look good in anyone's eyes? It looks so out of place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted December 11, 2013 I would look kinda cool tie dyed . They weren't very creative with it as is.... Hopefully they don't get strong winds in that area either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Posted December 12, 2013 What a buffoon! The AFA has been a joke since it was founded, back when it was called the "National Federation for Decency." The idea that one should define the word "religion" to mean "my religion" and then use that definition to reject free expression is both obscene and dangerous. There's a pony in his pile of manure, though. This whole issue would largely be a non-issue if we hadn't started to "interpret" that which needed no interpretation. The "religion" clause in the first amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" There is no ambiguity here crying out for assistance by anyone, regardless of their bent.

SonOfTheGods Posted January 7, 2014 Monday, January 6, 2014 14:33 EST The Satanic Temple, a religious group based in New York City, on Monday unveiled their design for a monument they hope to erect at the Oklahoma Statehouse. The 7-foot-tall monument would include a goat-headed Baphomet figure sitting cross-legged on a stone slab, flanked by two smiling children. The monument would also include quotes from poets Lord Byron and William Blake. “The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond. The statue will serve as a beacon calling for compassion and empathy among all living creatures. The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation,” spokesman Lucien Greaves explained. The group offered to donate a monument last month, after State Rep. Mike Ritze (R-Broken Arrow) and conservative Christians were allowed to erect a Ten Commandments monument on the statehouse grounds. Lawmakers in Oklahoma, however, have insisted that the Satanists should not be given the same treatment as Christians. “This is a faith-based nation and a faith-based state,” Rep. Earl Sears (R-Bartlesville) said. “I think it is very offensive they would contemplate or even have this kind of conversation.” After other groups — including PETA and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — asked for their own displays, the Oklahoma City Capitol Preservation Commission placed a moratorium on new monuments at the statehouse. But the Satanic Temple insists erecting a monument of their own is within their constitutional rights. “Our monument celebrates an unwavering respect for the Constitutional values of religious freedom and free expression,” Greaves explained. “Satanism is a fundamental component at the genesis of American liberty. Medieval witch-hunts taught us to adopt presumption of innocence, secular law, and a more substantive burden of proof. “Today, we are rightly offended by the notion of blasphemy laws and divine fiats. Acknowledging wrongful persecutions has helped shape the legal system that preserves the sovereignty of our skeptics, heretics, and the misunderstood. It has shaped a proud culture of tolerance and free inquiry. This is to be a historical marker commemorating the scapegoats, the marginalized, the demonized minority, and the unjustly outcast.” The group hopes to raise $20,000 by January 17 to build the monument. “We trust that this unique monument will also prove a favorite tourist attraction to Oklahoma’s Capitol for years to come,” Greaves remarked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
