Satanists Erect Diabolic Display Alongside Nativity Set in U.S. Statehouse

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Satanic Temple display now sits alongside a Christmas tree and a Nativity scene in the Illinois Statehouse as part of what was supposed to be Christmas-themed decorations.

The black-colored statue from the Satanists depicts a hand clutching an apple with a serpent wrapped around the forearm. A red glow lights the figure from below.

The so-called holiday monument is titled “Snaketivity” and was created by The Satanic Temple — Chicago Chapter. A plaque on the base of the statue reads, “Knowledge is the greatest gift.” The sculpture appears to celebrate the fall of mankind, as Adam and Eve succumbed to the serpent’s temptation to eat of the fruit forbidden by God.

“We see Satan as a hero in that story, of course, spreading knowledge,” said Lex Manticore, a spokesman for the group behind the display. Manticore confirmed to The State Journal-Register that the statue does indeed represent the story from Genesis where Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. . .

“Not only do we not worship a literal Satan, but we don’t believe one actually exists,” added Manticore. “Satan for us is a metaphor … Throughout literary history, (it’s) been used as a character that represents rebellion in the face of religious tyranny.” (Read more from “Satanists Erect Diabolic Display Alongside Nativity Set in U.S. Statehouse” HERE)

Church of Satan Delights in Murder of Christian Missionary

Satanists are taking pleasure in the slaying of a U.S. Christian missionary at the hands of a hostile aboriginal tribe in Andaman and Nicobar Islands off the coast of India.

The Church of Satan posted on Twitter Wednesday a link to an article about the death of 27-year-old American John Allen Chau, a Christian missionary who went to preach to the Sentinelese people.

. . .

When a Twitter user asked the Satanists why they were celebrating this man’s death, someone going by the handle of Typhoid Taylor claimed the missionary deserved to die.

“The same reason I’d celebrate the death of a serial killer or rapist,” Typhoid Taylor wrote. “Bad people getting what they deserve is a good thing. Those people protecting their land, people, health, freedom, and tradition is a good thing. He was warned of the consequences.” (Read more from “Church of Satan Delights in Murder of Christian Missionary” HERE)
