That’s a shame that they can get away with that. I wonder how many state capitals are allowing that to happen.

Take a look @ the statue put up on front of U.N Building! Sculpture looks like the End of Times Beast.

If the religious brainwashed nutJobs have displays everywhere, it's the right of everybody else who doesn't conform to them, have the same right to do so.

Original Blog Entry: Satanic Temple to install Sol Invictus holiday display at state Capitol rotunda

---------------------------------------------------------------

he state Capitol rotunda will have a satanic display alongside other religious art for a third year. The Satanic Temple is returning with an art installation to celebrate the satanic holiday of Sol Invictus.

The group conducts advocacy for reproductive rights and the separation of church and state as a tax-exempt religious organization.

This year s display will feature the satanic deity Baphomet, depicted as a swaddling babe. It was designed by Albuquerque-based horror artist Chris P. Andres.

Bishop Paprocki: Satanic displays 'should have no place in this Capitol'

The exhibition will be installed at 1 p.m. Monday in the Capitol rotunda, overseen by The Satanic Temple s Illinois congregation.

This year's tradition marks a greater urgency in the Baphomet's message of harmony and reconciliation, noted The Satanic Temple's Director of Campaign Operations Erin Helian in a press release.

The group s displays have courted controversy, particularly from the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and its head, Bishop Thomas Paprocki. He recently oversaw the installation of a nativity scene in the Capitol rotunda. At the event, Paprocki said satanic displays should have no place in this Capitol or any other place.

Mocking the millions of Christians in the state of Illinois and billions around the world by depicting the baby Jesus this Christmas with the satanic deity Baphomet is the very definition of evil and causing division, but that is to be expected from an organization that is in existence to troll people of faith, said Andrew Hansen, a spokesperson for the diocese.

In 2020 none of the holiday displays, including the Snaketivity display from The Satanic Temple-Chicago, a Nativity scene to mark the Christmas season or a Menorah to mark Hanukkah were set out at the state Capitol because of COVID-19-related closures.More

Despite the diocese s public criticism of the group, it said the bishop is welcome to attend the installation.

We have invited Bishop Paprocki to hold hands with members of The Satanic Temple while we come together and stand before all of the religious displays at the rotunda, said Helian.

Paprocki will not be going.

Bishop Paprocki declines the invitation to associate with evil and urges all people of true religious faith to shun the devil, Hansen said.
