Festive Satanic statue added to Illinois statehouse

A satanic group has added its own statue to a series of displays in the government building of the US state of Illinois to mark the festive season.

Placed between a Christmas tree and a menorah, the four-foot sculpture depicts a snake coiled around an outstretched arm holding an apple.

It's the first display sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the Temple of Satan.

The state government said the temple had the same right as other religious groups to have a display.

"Under the Constitution, the First Amendment, people have a right to express their feelings, their thoughts," Dave Druker, spokesman for the Illinois secretary of state, told the State Journal-Register. "This recognises that."

The move has been criticised on social media by Illinois Family Action, an anti-abortion pressure group.

This news seems pleasing to you. Yet you whine about the 10 commandments being displayed on public property/schools.

Yet you wonder why I call you an anti-christ?

That's kinda the point, things like these typically happen as a reaction against people whining about "religious freedom" and being able to plaster the 10 commandments on public property. When confronted with something like this, suddenly their cries of religious freedom go out the window and their hypocrisy becomes apparent. They have no one to blame but themselves.
