Ain’t it a bitch when OTHERS use the right you thought only you’d be able to use? What a dumbass.
Many Christians probably believe that these laws were made for everyone except them. If you go to more conservative sites discussing the matter, they would probably be asking why people aren't charged for hate crimes against Christians. It's part of their persecution complex.
"Charged with a hate crime for what?"
"For saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas! Starbucks changed to just a red cup so that's a hate crime too! Schools are trying to stop coaches from making kids on their teams pray! And trans people exist! Hate crimes!!"
If the ghouls completely take over it will be only them who use these laws
she has accused the Satanic Temple of making filings that “are only meant to evoke strong emotions and incite others.”
Uh yeah, it isn't a secret or anything.
What's next? Is she going to say "I don't think they actually believe in Baphomet either!"
“How dare you sue me for the crimes you passively goaded me into committing in your attempt to prove the value of the law”

Triggered into entering the felon list by some pool noodles and some lights 😂
And the Cristian wack jobs are in full force donating to his legal defense. Already at 116.000 usd, with completely normal and not at all fanatic comments, like "_ May God punish the foul souls bringing charges against you! There is a higher law than man made law, and you are upon that law. God bless you and keep you._". Abhorrent behavior...
God damn, I wish I didn't have morals and a conscience... With my knowledge of religion and the scriptures I could be making BANK milking the gullible.

Hail Satan. May justice be done in accordance with law.
Second bit seems risky. I'd flip it around: May the law be done in accordance with justice.
Our world has seen some pretty horrific things done in accordance with some pretty horrific laws.

This should be reposted to upliftingnews lol
my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted
You know what is going to be held captive by bureaucratic decree? Your felon status, fucker!
Can I have your AR-15 once you're convicted? Because you won't be allowed to own it after! And j/k about your rifle, I bet it's a PSA p p piece of shit (dumbasses like this guy tend to be poor whiskey tango).

FAFO...mess with the goat and you get the horns.
Are you familiar with PAGANism? We offer goat leggings, discrete occult rituals and the virgin Connie Swail.
I thought the sign said pegganism, guess all that prep work and lubrication was for nothing.

Christians are immune to irony.
-
Reads "thou shalt not kill" commandment.
-
Declares holy war on indigenous people.
This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience.

Good.
We’ve long since come full circle (well, I guess half circle). The satanists embody virtue and the christians evil.
That's always been the case. The only people who think that Satanists actually worship satan are idiots.
Every single Satanist i've ever met, and I haven't met a lot I admit, are just nice people who don't understand why the church is so powerful considering all the crimes they've covered up over the years. Especially considering that practically every single "Christian" democracy claims to separate church and state.

I’m gonna nitpick: Satanism is not Paganism. This was a satanic idol and not a pagan idol.
And not even satanic in the Christian theology.
Baphomet and Baal were actually gods alongside Yahweh

Watch the wannabe theocrats praise this man as a "hero doing Sky Daddy's work!"
He travelled halfway across the country just to do it.
What a piece of shit
TBH, Baphomet is a honey trap for religious nuts to go after.
It would not be a surprise to see one hold Baphomet's decapitated head up in triumph and proclaim himself leader of God's army. I wish that I was kidding.
That's the whole point of this religion, to trigger religious people. There no other reason to pick the satanic symbolism.
It's like "oh yeha, you want freedom to believe whatever insane thing you want and push it into the secular state? We can do that too, bitch" kinda thing.
Which is good, the only problem I see is that some people seem like they are starting to get attached to the religion.
If you look at what the religion actually has as its tenets, it is more mainstream and mentally healthier than a number of Christian religions. I still am not a member, tho, just looking in from the outside. The triggering is not the point of the religion, but is an activism to defend a separation of church and state. I grew up in a cult religion, and REALLY do not want any religion to be part of government.

My guess is somebody clued them in that if they didn't hit this guy with a hate crime then there would be precedent to protect people from hate crime status for crimes against Christian property.

Excellent.
I strongly suspect this guy has a room temperature iq (celcius) and will probably be wondering why he was charged with destroying a baphomet statue rather than one of satan (he spells it Santa though when he gets crayons).

Good opportunity to spread the word:

Good. If I ever drive across the country to destroy a statue for any religion I should be charged the same way.
Don't you guys get it? He HAD to destroy it to make sky daddy happy smh
As he should.
