This makes me laugh so much. I am a christian that supports a strong seperation of church and state, while alot of my family is the same as those that put up the commandment monument. They dont see past the bridge of there nose when it comes to this stuff, its not surprising that they didnt see this coming. These people are exactly right, if the christian monument is allowed to stay, the the satanist one should be allowed in, as long as its not as its not outright evil or disgusting in appearance.

Well, certainly. To us. But as long as they are not harming or interfering with anybody elses rights, than we have no right to tell them they are wrong. Its a different belief system, and they have evey right to put up a monument if we do.

It is the polar opposite of your belief system. As a Christian, it is both your and my duty to stand up to evil wherever we can. Satanism is an evil cult that seeks to deceive the innocent.

As long as they arent harming anybody physically, or infringing on anybodys rights, the state does not have a place in that. And if they allow one religion to put up a monument on state ground, they are constitutionally required to allow any other to erect one. Within reason. This would be different if they were to show satan killing or -blam!-, or even making a mockery of the commandment monument. The church can and should fight against satanism. But the state cant stop them from doing anything they allow christians to do.

Promoting satanism at all is evil.
