The Detroit chapter of the Satanic Temple set up its "Snaketivity Scene" featuring a snake offering a book called "Revolt of the Angels" as a gift. The snake is wrapped around the Satanic cross on the 3-feet-by-3-feet display. Capitol rules require that displays have to be taken down each night.

Satanic Temple spokeswoman Jex Blackmore said her group doesn't worship Satan but does promote individuality, compassion and views that differ from Christian and conservative beliefs.
Blackmore said that the "holiday season is a time of year that is celebrated in many different ways."
"Having our government endorse one singular viewpoint or method of celebrating the season is problematic when we have a diverse community of people in Michigan," she said.

It's a beautiful statue. Someone put a lot of love into that thing.

Ms. Blackmore likes and needs attention.

Why do all of these people have badly cared for hair?
Is she not down for the cause if she sports a nice pony tail? Why must her hair look like she just lost a chicken fight?
Does rule number one in the feaux rebellious millenial rule book state that one must not give a shite about their hair in order to be down with the cause?

Satan is way cooler than God. Duh.

Some of my Christian friends and family would probably get bent out of shape over this. I view it for what it is. Someone with a sad pathetic life that is looking for her 15 minutes of fame. Ignore her and her stunt and she will receive zero satisfaction and slink away frustrated.

I think it's great. It clearly jars people to find that something other than a major abrahamic religion can occupy public space.
Now if we could just grow a set big enough to piss off the Muslims too, we'd be really rustling jimmies.

I like when people do stuff like this so people on this board can pretend that it doesn't bother them.

That snake looks like one of the monsters from Tremors. Now I want to watch that movie.

Going to Hell would be an upgrade over living in Detroit.

People really shouldn't give a shite about this. It's just some random persob excercising out harmless free speech and if there's attention whoring going on, then all the more reason to not give a shite about this.
Speaking as an agnostic diest by the way.

Would solve a lot of problems if they just followed the First Amendment.

I've done some research on Satanism and it's pretty interesting and is not the Devil worshipping religion it is portrayed to be.
Basically it is an offshoot of Atheism with a title. You worship and elevate yourself above all others, while using Satan as the symbol of your beliefs since he elevated himself above God.
Regardless, the statue is badass

An atheist bases things on facts. A Christian bases things on beliefs. Facts are verifiable. Beliefs are unverifiable.
Here is something else for you to ponder on porkchop. Some scientist of old lived their entire lives from cradle to grave not knowing anything about microscopic life. To them, it didn't exist and that was fact. But it turned out it wasn't fact.
Then there were scientist who lived their whole lives thinking that if a man was sick and you extracted enough blood out of his body, he would get well again. Of course, many died during bloodlettings. To this scientist, this was a fact, but it wasn't.
Then their were scientist that lived their entire lives from cradle to grave thinking the earth was flat. They never knew anything else, and to them, this was fact. But it wasn't fact.
Then there were those who lived their entire lives from cradle to grave thinking the Tasmanian Tiger was extinct. To them, this was fact. But when one was later discovered and filmed, this too became a non fact.
So to sit here and say that you have facts that God doesn't exist is very naive. You have no such facts and never will. But one day you will die also and you will get a chance to see if your facts are indeed factual.
