Christians fail to see the irony. How they view the satanic display at the capital building is how most of us view it when we see federal and state buildings displaying Christianity. It’s either all fine or none of it is. Don’t want to be angry? Then keep religion out of politics!

Oh, they get it. That’s why they put those displays up in the first place.
Exactly. It’s a gigantic middle finger to anyone not in their little book club. The gaslighting they do about it - batting their eyes and saying, “but this country was founded on Judeo-xtian principles”, etc - is just icing on the cake for them.

Thank you! I always like to inform xtianists about this. :)
When they go on about how how this country “was founded on xtianity”, I ask them if anyone told Jefferson this “fact” of theirs. When they are like…huh? I tell them about his version of “the” bible, which without question would have been considered a “heresy” he could have been murdered over in other parts of the planet, and during his lifetime.
I also like how these people like to try Thomas Paine erasure; probably because the likes of Teddy Roosevelt called him a “dirty little atheist” - it got even weirder when the likes of Glenn Beck - who is in the LDS - tried to appropriate Paine - I was totally confused by that one, but hey, these guys are great at rewriting history and trying to appropriate things…
Sorry Catholics, but every time I see the depiction of a person tortured, bloodied, and nailed to a piece of wood, my automatic gut reaction is revulsion and disgust. First at the imagery itself, and then more deeply at the fact that otherwise sane people feel like this a completely normal thing to adorn their houses and bodies with. This is no different, people are just not accustomed to seeing Satanic imagery and symbolism in public, which is the whole fucking point.

I remember him debating Dinesh D’Felon while having a brew. He was that unimpressed by the “intellect” of D’Felon…
“…unicorns… blah blah blah…”
Unlike their god… Unicorns exist.
Okay, so maybe they’re fat. stop body shaming.

Republicans outraged because [insert person/thing] made conservatives see/hear [insignificant thing] they could manufacture outrage over.
Repeat again tomorrow.
I believe the last time these people encountered such religious intolerance, they left Europe for the new world. Time for them to seek another new world…
Mars awaits!
Great… stick them in Starship with space Karen and let them blast off then

So, you say they’re doing it again…?
What do you call people who believe in satan?

Christians.

Well, yes, technically any Abrahamic religion.
Jews dont believe in Satan. I dont believe Muslims do either.

Multiple devils?
I guess what I mean to say is that Jews dont believe in Hell. The idea of the devil and hell was created by Christians to force obedience with fear.
When you start digging into it, it’s kind of interesting how much stuff gets retcon’ed into the OT by the xtians of various stripes. And then there are retcons of retcons, like what LDS does [1].
There was some xtian on the Denver Post comment boards that would get his back up (and try to get my comments deleted/me banned) over the use of the term “Abrahamic religion”. He kept denying there was any such notion. The guy provided much hilarity. It’s like they know all the problems inherent in claiming that the OT is what gives the character of Yeshua legitimacy because of prophecy, etc., and then turning around and rejecting the original religion itself, therefore, this guy’s answer was to deny the relationship even existed? LOL. This same guy denied that the Southern Strategy was a thing, too. This guy wanted all his own facts.
[1] Overall the movie was a mixed bag, but I was surprised to see the nature of Abrahamic religions rather frankly discussed in the movie “Heretic”. I wonder how many people might have walked out before any violence happened…
TIL. TYVM!
Well, these are who’s in charge of the country now. Hope this is what the electorate wanted.
