That Baphomet statue is so amazingly cool and so lovely - I don't see why anyone would have an issue with it. Religious freedom is protected in this country, no matter what religion or who is practicing it. Satan is also known as the bright Day Star, there is a freedom even greater within the teachings of Satanism than you'll find in any modern "christian" practice; all are welcome. Come in children, come in.

I bought a Baphomet statue on Etsy because of that incident. Sadly, it doesn’t include the kids adoring Baphomet, buts it’s still cool as fuck on the top of my book case. Support an artist and let his loving gaze grace your home today!

Oh that is very cool. I didn't know such a thing was possible! I'll check out Etsy to see if I can find it. I definitely want that! It's the kind of occult art object i'm really into.

Lol I was a Christian fundie when they first unveiled the statue. I found it genuinely terrifying

I've seen many documentaries about this statue and from the first, I found it beautiful and engrossing. But then again, I've never been a christian - my family's pagan roots go back to the very beginning of time. And to honest, I sometimes find "christian" churches and cathedrals "terrifying" in their preservation of a dark-ages kind of sad reverence for spooky dieities and weird rituals. And paintings that are mystifying.
