Satanists unveil design for OK statehouse statue

By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor

(CNN) – Satanists have unveiled their design for a proposed statue at the Oklahoma state Capitol, including a place for people to sit on the devil’s lap “for inspiration and contemplation.”

The New York-based Satanic Temple submitted its proposal to Oklahoma officials this month after applying for a spot on Capitol grounds late last year. The Satanists say their statue would “complement and contrast” with a Ten Commandments monument placed at the Capitol in Oklahoma City in 2012.

The Satanists’ proposed monument depicts Baphomet, a goat-headed pagan idol sitting on a 7-foot-tall throne inscribed with an inverted pentagram. In an artist’s rendering provided by the Satanic Temple, smiling children look adoringly at the devilish figure.

“The statue will serve as a beacon calling for compassion and empathy among all living creatures,” Lucien Greaves, a spokesman for the Satanic Temple, said in a prepared 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.”

According to its Indiegogo page, the Satanists have raised more than $16,000 toward their goal of $20,000 for the monument, which Greaves said would “be a historical marker commemorating the scapegoats, the marginalized, the demonized minority and the unjustly outcast.”

The Temple of Satan is less a religious body organized around rituals and regular meetings than a roving band of political provocateurs, according to Greaves. They believe Satan is a “literary construct,” the spokesman said, not an actual being with horns and hooves.

The proposed statue includes quotations from poets Lord Byron and William Blake.

“Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion” runs the Blake quotation. The 18th-century poet was a Christian, albeit one with a mystical bent and little use for traditional morality.

The statue’s main figure, Baphomet, has long been associated with Satan, Greaves said. In the 12th century, the Knights Templar, a group of Christian crusaders, were accused of worshiping Baphomet in their secretive rituals.

“From the mythology created by these accusations against the Templars, we now have a symbol for Satan pictured as a goat-headed beast,” Greaves said.

Since the 1960s, a variation of the horned goat head has been the official symbol of the Church of Satan, which is not affiliated with the Temple of Satan. The head of the Church of Satan has told CNN he does not approve of the idea of a Satanist statue on public grounds.

Oklahoma state Rep. Paul Wesselhoft told CNN that he doesn’t think the Satanists’ statue will be approved.

“What will disqualify them has really nothing to do with Satan as such; it’s that it has no historical significance for the state of Oklahoma,” he said.

Trait Thompson, chairman of Oklahoma’s Capitol Preservation Committee, said he has not received the Satanists’ proposed design yet. He also said that no applications will be considered until a lawsuit over the Ten Commandments monument is settled.

The American Civil Liberties Union has sued over Oklahoma’s Ten Commandments monument, calling it an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion.

After news broke of the Satanists’ proposal, the state was flooded with requests from religious groups seeking to erect monuments to their own faith, including Hindus and Pastafarians, a satirical religion that “worships” the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

An Oklahoma lawmaker told CNN that the Satanists’ message wouldn’t fly in the Bible Belt state, where nearly two-thirds of the population is Christian.

“Any monument displayed on state property should reflect the values of Oklahoma or memorialize those who built or defended our freedom,” Rep. Bob Cleveland said Tuesday. “In my opinion, this Satanist monument does not meet with the values of Oklahomans.”

One of my FAVE authors! by Josh Fallis

“It is as though some old part of yourself wakes up in you, terrified, useless in the life you have, its skills and habits destructive but intact, and what is left of the present you, the person you have become, wilts and shrivels in sadness or despair: the person you have become is only a thin shell over this other, more electric and endangered self. The strongest, the least digested parts of your experience can rise up and put you back where you were when they occurred; all the rest of you stands back and weeps.”
― Peter Straub, The Throat

“Might is Right” review by Josh Fallis (The basis for anti Christian/Demonic self worship)

This book is a must read for everyone who needs to understand how satan tries to steer us to self worship vs God worship. Read with open spiritual eyes it a tremendous glimpse into evil’s mind and manipulative strategies.

MIGHT IS RIGHT : 
Survival of the Fittest
 
by Ragnar Redbeard
 
Reprint of the Original century-old text
 
Anton LaVey was so impressed by this book that he plagiarized large portions of it when penning his infamous Satanic Bible. Some theorize that the true identity of the ignominious author was the ever-intriguing Friedrich Nietsche.
While this volume is not a Satanic or Satanist book, it is a brutal exposé of Christianity and Christian teachings from an pagan philosophic perspective.
 
In her provocative foreword Katja Lane postulates the seemingly obvious verdict that this Darwinian rant had at least two authors. Some have falsely  theorized that the book was updated by the “original” author at a later date, but that is patently not true. The subsequent revisions are discernibly from a disparate time and setting, reflecting a varying cultural and political ambiance, not to mention the starkly contrasting writing styles of the two authors, Jack London being a likely contributor. In the London family archive Anton LeVey claims to have seen portions of MIGHT IS RIGHT written in Jack London’s own hand, lending credence to this theory.
 
This elegant reprint of the 1896 original MIGHT IS RIGHT by Ragnar Redbeard is vinyl laminated soft cover, 6″ x 9″ – 205 pages. The Laws of Nature are explained, defined and expounded upon in detail in eloquent 19th century English. This exclusive WOTANSVOLK Millennial Edition is true to the earliest known ur-text and is the most powerfully illustrated of all the newly re-published editions. ©14 Word Press 1999.
 
Quote: “THE VICTOR GETS THE GOLD”…
 
“Virtue is rewarded in this world, remember, Natural law makes no false judgments. Its decisions are true and just, even when dreadful. The victor gets the gold and the land every time. He, also, gets the fairest maidens, the glory tributes. And — why should it be otherwise? Why should the delights of life go to failures and cowards? Why should the spoils of battle belong to the unwarlike? That would be insanity, utterly unnatural and immoral.”
 
“As far as Sociology is concerned, we must either abandon our reason or abandon Christ. He is pre-eminently, the prophet of unreason— the preacher of rabble-rabies. All that is enervating and destructive of manhood, he glorifies, —all that is self-reliant and heroic, he denounces. Lazarus, the filthy and diseased vagrant, is his hero of heroes; and Dives the sane, energetic citizen, is his ‘awful’ example of baseness and criminality. He praises the “humble” and he curses the proud. He blesses the failures and damns the successful. All that is noble, he perverts— all that is atrocious he upholds. He inverts all the natural instincts of mankind and urges us to live artificial lives. He commands the demonization of virtues that aggrandize a people, and advises his admirers to submit in quietness to every insult, contumely, indignity; to be slaves, de-facto. Indeed, there is scarce one thought in the whole of his Dicta that is practically true.”
As REVIEWED in the Chicago Tribune, 12 November 1905:
MIGHT IS RIGHT is an unprecedented book by an author of extraordinary virility and rugged primeval force, whose sense perceptions border on the supernatural— an extraordinary book— and you should read it— then read it again, and lend it to your friends. Get its meaning into your nature, and (if your spirit is not broken) it will do to you what it has done to others; it will open your eyes; it will make a new man of you; it will ennoble your every deed and thought; you will become intellectually as “one reborn.” It will hypnotize your very soul, and send you forth into this world of pitiless and ferocious combat a Conqueror and a King of Men.

Holy Names by Josh Fallis (again not my thoughts but worth investigation).

The Holy Name Bible was first published by Angelo B. Traina in 1963. This Bible is a reprint of the 1989 version. The Preface at the beginning of the Bible tells many of the reasons for placing the true original names back into the scriptures. The Holy Name Bible was the first English Bible to restore the True Original Names of Yahweh-Elohim-Yahshua back into the Bible. Yahweh is the English transliteration of the four Hebrew characters called the tetragrammaton. Lord is a false title that Bible translators substituted for Yahweh. Halleluyah means Praise Yahweh, not praise the Lord, and it is put back into the places it was taken out. Psalms 146 to 150 originally began and ended with Halleluyah, and it is inserted where it was originally written. Elohim is the original title for the creator, and is placed where the translators put the false title of God. There is no letter “J” in Hebrew, and the letter “J” is only 400 years old in the English alphabet. Therefore it was impossible for the savior born 2000 years ago to have the name of Jesus. The true name of the savior is Yahshua. Yahshua means Yahweh is Salvation. Yahshua is back into the many places that it was taken out. Messiah is also put back into the scriptures where the Bible translators falsely put the title, Christ. The version text is one of the closest to the King James Version as any other Sacred Name Bible. Exodus 3:14 has the phrase, “AYAH ASHER AYAH” , which means, I will be what I will to be. “El Shaddai” is back in the Bible, where it was taken out of the KJV. There are so many other wonderful features too numerous to mention.

Joshua’s Long Day by Josh Fallis (food for thought)

I find these kinds of things extremely interesting to study and ponder. I welcome all thoughts on these posts. The following is not my thoughts or research but a friend whose information always informs or provokes me.

THE BATTLE OF GIANTS, ANIMAL/HUMAN HYBRIDS, & THE SUN STANDING STILL

Point B. Egypt. The Greek historian Herodotus recorded that when he visited Egypt, the priests there showed him an ancient manuscript that told the story of a day that lasted twice as long as a normal day. As they had accurate water clocks that could record time, they could easily record that a long day had taken place.

Point C. Egypt. Fernand Crombette translated some Egyptian hieroglyphics that said – “The sun, thrown into confusion, had remained low on the horizon, and by not rising, had spread terror amongst the great doctors. Two days had been rolled into one…. They made the moon stop in a small angle at the edge of the horizon. In a small angle on the edge of the horizon, the sun itself, which had just risen at the spot where the moon was going, instead of crossing the sky, stayed where it was. Whilst the moon, following a narrow path, reduced its speed and climbed slowly, the sun stopped moving and its intensity of light was reduced to the brightness of daybreak.” The rest of the account records a exceptionally high tide that washed boats into piles of wreckage, drowned fisherman, flooded much of the land, etc.

Point D. India. This is not a record but a prophecy in the Brahman Yast, one of the books in the Indian Avesta. This said that the sun would be commanded to stand still for ten days in about AD 1200. Although the date is completely wrong, the statement may be a reference to the Chinese record of the same event and the ancient historians have them confused.

Point E. China. Gill, writing in 1810, quoted from a manuscript that unfortunately appears to have been lost. This said that in the time of their seventh Emperor, “..the sun did not set for ten days… and though the time of the sun’s standing still were enlarged beyond the bounds of truth, yet it seems to refer to this fact, and was manifestly about the same time; for this miracle was wrought in the year of the world 2554….”

Points 1-5. North America. Several North American Indian tribes have accounts of long nights. The Ojibways, Wyandots and the Bungees tell of a long night. The Omahas tell of the sun being caught in a rabbit’s trap and only released just before dawn. The Dogribs tell of the sun suddenly becoming dark at noon.

Point 6. Mexican Indians. They tell of a long night.

Point 7. Aztecs. They have a legend of the sun not appearing for a very long time, so a conclave of the gods was called and a sacrifice made.

Point 8. Quiche Mayans of Guatemala. ” They did not sleep; They remained standing and great was the anxiety of their hearts and their stomachs for the coming of the dawn and the day…. ‘Oh… if we only could see the rising of the sun.'”

Point 9. Peru. The sun was hidden for nearly 20 hours.

Point 10. West Africa. A West African story of a long night, it said that the night lasted too long because the owl overslept and did not awaken the sun. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/malcolmbowden/joshld.htm

More historical evidence is still coming forth such as Hawaii.

Joshua 10:5
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites (GIANTS), H567 the king f Jerusalem, the king of Hebron (ASSOCIATION) , the king of Jarmuth (HEIGHTS), the king of Lachish (INVINCIBLE), the king of Eglon (CALF LIKE), gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon (HILL CITY), and made war against it.

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Jasher 55 And when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem heard all that the children of Israel had done to Jericho and to Ai, he sent to Hoham king of Hebron and to Piram king at Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish and to Deber king of Eglon, saying, 56 Come up to me and help me, that we may smite the children of Israel and the inhabitants of Gibeon who have made peace with the children of Israel. 57 And they gathered themselves together and the five kings of the Amorites went up with all their camps, a mighty people numerous as the sand of the sea shore. 58 And all these kings came and encamped before Gibeon, and they began to fight against the inhabitants of Gibeon, and all the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, saying, Come up quickly to us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites have gathered together to fight against us. 59 And Joshua and all the fighting people went up from Gilgal, and Joshua came suddenly to them, and smote these five kings with a great slaughter. 60 And the Lord confounded them before the children at Israel, who smote them with a terrible slaughter in Gibeon, and pursued them along the way that goes up to Beth Horon unto Makkedah, and they fled from before the children of Israel. 61 And whilst they were fleeing, the Lord sent upon them hailstones from heaven, and more of them died by the hailstones, than by the slaughter of the children of Israel. 62 And the children of Israel pursued them, and they still smote them in the road, going on and smiting them. 63 And when they were smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and Joshua said in the sight of all the people, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself upon its enemies. 64 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Joshua, and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day. 65 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
