Satan Worshippers Continue Fight to Erect Satanic Baphoment Statue in Oklahoma's Capitol

For the Rolling Stones in the late 1960s, Satan was “a man of wealth and taste,” as he introduced himself in the iconic classic rock hit “Sympathy for the Devil.”
An organization called the Satanic Temple aims to summon another image of the devil for Oklahoma — a state currently embroiled in a battle with civil liberties advocates over a monument to the Ten Commandments on the state Capitol lawn. Some say such a symbol excludes Americans who don’t identify with Judaism or Christianity.
Photos provided by the Satanic Temple unveiled the group’s monument, which it wants placed on Oklahoma’s Capitol lawn in the name of fairness. It features Baphomet — a creature with the head of a ram and body of a man — accompanied by two gleeful-looking children.
The group plans to have the finished product cast in bronze, Satanic Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves told Al Jazeera.
That’s the image that the organization — which has used various publicity stunts to oppose what it calls Judeo-Christian dominance of U.S. government and society — wants to place on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Legislature.
Oklahoma’s Capitol Preservation Commission has prevented the Satanic Temple from erecting its monument while litigation by the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is pending against the Ten Commandments monument. Various state legislators did not comment about the matter to Al Jazeera.
