LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Dozens attended a rally held by the Satanic Temple at the Arkansas State Capitol on Thursday.
The rally comes after the Arkansas legislature approved the placement of a Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds.
During the Satanic Temple's Rally for the First Amendment, a more than 8 feet tall Bophomet statue was unveiled
Following the installation of the Ten Commandments monument, the Satanic Temple filed a lawsuit to have its statue place on the same grounds in the name of religious pluralism and the First Amendment.
During the 2017 legislative session, the Satanic Temple sent a letter to Arkansas legislators asking for lawmakers to sponsor a bill that would allow a Baphomet statue on capitol grounds, but not one lawmaker responded.
The rally had five speakers, including the Satanic Temple's spokesperson and co-founder, and was held at the Arkansas State Capitol from 1 to 3 p.m.The event is intended to be an inclusive gathering where The Satanic Temple will be celebrating pluralism along with Christian and secular speakers. People of many faiths will come together at the Capitol to reject the Arkansas State Legislature's efforts to privilege one religion over others,” explains Lucien Greaves, spokesman and co-founder of the Satanic Temple.
Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert released the following statement in response to the scheduled protest:

The Satanic Temple are just atheists who troll Christians, they don't believe in a literal Satan. Wherever there's a failure in the separation of church and state they exploit it to illustrate the problem. The Baphomet statue was first created in response to Oklahoma's 10 commandments monument and has been moved around to other locations since that monument was destroyed and the Oklahoma Supreme Court declared all religious displays illegal. And the idea that they would have anything to do with child abuse seems laughable, one of their 7 tenets is "One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone."

Then why do they support the false memory syndrome foundation and deny the realities of ritual abuse and dissociative identity disorder??

Why do the Satanists deny Satan their lord and master? Liars. Satanists do worship Satan. I've seen videos on YouTube where they try to summon demons and Satan, it's not trolling when you make human sacrifices to Satan... lame excuses.

do you go around door to door wearing a Halloween mask and giving this speech?
even if this were the whole truth, dedicating your time to a temple to "troll" the faith of others is super lame

I wouldn't say they're after anyone's faith, they're there to advocate for the strict separation of church and state which I believe is an important principle.

They say that's what their purpose is...
