It's unfortunate we live in a christian/catholic dominated society where there's no toleration for alternative beliefs, especially atheism and satanism.

You said that Satanists are being hounded out of jobs and society and in general. I assume coming up with a link that proves that supposedly apparent truth should be easy, even for a lower intellect person like yourself. Ask the guy next to you in the public library who's looking at porn to help you with navigating the internet.D1B wrote:"Show me links, uh derrrrr" = the last refuge of the defeated.GannonFan wrote:
Then there should be plenty of examples of Satan worshipers being fired from their jobs. I'm sure you have some links then.

Like I said to Hen, the tyranny of the majority. Haven't Christians been a minority too at times. In fact some might say its a miracle the church ever survived its early days.
We have plenty religious symbolism available on private land. What's wrong with just a few trees and some shrubbery?
Oops....both clearly symbols of animism, paganism, and Ni.

At some point, to conserve space in a public area where the displays are, then yes. I'm not okay with choosing any religion to be allowed or not allowed to be practiced or believed in - anybody can believe in any religion, or none.kalm wrote:So you're ok with choosing one religion over another?GannonFan wrote:

We're not talking about an individuals right to belief, wer're talking about government choosing one over another....for the convenience of space...GannonFan wrote:At some point, to conserve space in a public area where the displays are, then yes.

And we're talking about government respecting the beliefs of its citizens and how to use that public space. What serves the most people isn't a tyranny of the majority as you like to phrase it, it's just a pragmatic way to decide something. Government isn't choosing one religion over another - again, that's almost trying to use a phrase to elicit a response - it's government choosing the most pragmatic way to use a space.kalm wrote:We're not talking about an individuals right to belief, wer're talking about government choosing one over another....for the convenience of space...GannonFan wrote:

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/we-will ... unveiling/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;‘We will drive them out': Christians gather to protest the Satanic Temple’s statue unveiling

About 100 religious protesters gathered Saturday in Detroit to protest the unveiling ceremony by the Satanic Temple of a large Baphomet statue.
“Let’s burn the statue down!”
“Better be safe the building might fall down lol”
“This Is complete bullsh*t.I can’t wait until we take this bitch down and f*ck it up. F*ck Satan!”
“I bet it would blow up real good.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, protesters gathered at Bert’s Marketplace, which was the original location of the unveiling. The property owner backed out of the agreement after vocal opposition by the local Christian community.
“This unveiling will not happen in the City of Detroit on my watch,” Bishop Corletta Vaughn of the Holy Ghost Cathedral in Detroit told the Free Press at Saturday’s protest. “I’m here to stand against this being in the City of Detroit. We will not turn over our city to Satanists. It’s a violent spirit that’s moving to the city and infiltrating that place. We will drive them out of Dodge.”
According to photos by the Free Press, some protesters wore T-shirts bearing the word “Jesus,” and one woman is seen seated on the ground, apparently overcome during prayers.
The Baphomet statue was originally to be placed at the Oklahoma statehouse in a bid to counter a Ten Commandments monument there. The state Supreme Court ruled public property couldn’t be used for religious displays, a victory for the Satanic Temple’s efforts to retain religious — or nonreligious — plurality, according to the New York Times.
The Satanic Temple promised “The Unveiling” to be a “night of “chaos, noise, and debauchery… a hedonistic celebration,” along with provocative performances and artwork, according to the event page.

True, but in the context of kalm's troll about Christians, the stereotype is that those people are white fundie Christians.Chizzang wrote:Baldy wrote: But, they're black. Don't you know that only white people blow shit up.
Islam is a brown religion that specializes in blowing sh1t up
