In the same spot where up until recently a statue of the ten commandments was placed.

[quote]"The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in Oklahoma City and beyond," temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said in a statement. "The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation."
The Satanic Temple maintains that the Oklahoma Legislature's decision to authorize a privately funded Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol opened the door for its statue. The Ten Commandments monument was placed on the north steps of the building in 2012, and the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has sued to have it removed.
Similar requests for monuments have been made by a Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group and the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
In response, the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission recently placed a moratorium on considering any new requests.
The group already has raised nearly half of the $20,000 it says it needs to build the monument.
"Satan stands as the ultimate icon for the selfless revolt against tyranny, free & rational inquiry, and the responsible pursuit of happiness," the website says.

If this happens I will laugh so damn hard. It might be edgy pricks being edgy, but it's still hilarious.

So... what I gathered is that LaVeyan satanists just want to keep on being edgy. You'd think calling themselves satanists without actually worshiping the catholic Satan would be enough...

Lol Although I'd prefer a flying spaghetti monster statue to be honest
