Satanic Temple unveils statue of goat-headed demon in Detroit - IceWizard - 07-27-2015

A crowd of several hundred gathered Saturday night to see Detroit’s newest resident: A 9-foot, 2,000-pound statue of a goat-headed occult idol named Baphomet.
The Satanic Temple unveiled the bronze figure to an estimated 700 attendees at an undisclosed location. The group’s initial venue canceled after local religious groups protested.
The group’s approach to secrecy with the
second venue led to little opposition on
Saturday, Director of the Detroit Satanic
Temple chapter and national spokeswoman
Jex Blackmore told Fox News.
“Protesters arrived for a short time at our first ticketing location, but retreated after only about 30 minutes,†Blackmore said. “One woman attempted to block the event entrance and was removed by the police in cooperation with the building's owner. “
Guests were washed in red light shining down from the rafters at the venue as “dark punk†bands played and DJs performed from a stage located beneath a lighted, upside-down crucifix.
Satanic Temple officials delivered speeches and a pair of shirtless men held candles on either side of the statue, prior to its unveiling.
Despite the dark pageantry, however, the Temple says its concept of Lucifer is as a
literary figure.
“The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people,†the group’s website states.
The statue will now be stored out of public view until the Temple can find it a permanent home.
The group hopes to display it at the Arkansas State Capitol, next to a monument of the Ten
Commandments.

Stupid Fox News. (I know that is off topic. Just don't like them.)
This sort of thing is not new. Learning the symbolism and the true meaning of them, you will find satanic symbols all over Washington DC. It's all around us but not many people realize what these symbols and monuments really are saying.
We are in a whole lot more trouble than we think.
Ever see politicians giving the devil horns signs? So many of them do it. I've also been noticing it on tv and in movies. It seems like in every show, and commercials, someone in just about every show will give that salute to the ones that have given them the fame. It sometimes may be very hard to see, but if you watch their hands carefully you will see it.
I find it pretty damn disturbing.
Satan has taken over this world and you can see it everywhere if you know what you're looking at. We really are doomed.

Yes, it's the same sign as the Texas Longhorns, but with a different meaning. You can't tell me that all of these people are Longhorn fans. Politicians around the world salute their "God".
