Major props to Michael Cassidy, the man who beheaded the Baphomet display in the Iowa state capitol. I hope this incident elevates the discussion of "Who is God" in this country. Traditionally God has been considered the Creator. That was certainly the perspective of our founding fathers. This country was founded on a framework of Judeo-Christian values placing God the Creator as the source of all human rights.
Satan is not a creator. Satan is created. Created by whom? By God. Although he rebelled against God, he is not God, he is a created being. In Romans 1:23, the admonishment to not worship creation is clearly stated. Of course, anyone who would worship Satan will ignore the bible.
Point being, I don't think the founding fathers ever considered worship of Satan to be a protected religious practice. Our nation was built upon the belief in a benevolent God. The first amendment right to freedom of worship really should be interpreted as intended to allow free worship of God the Creator, not free worship of creation or any created entity. We are confusing worship of spiritual entities (demons) for the worship of God. I hope in the new America this misinterpretation is corrected.
I dont get it. How many nativity and menorah displays were banned because 'it might offend someone'. Well, this one offends me. Remove it in total NOW.
