My friend just said she will go to Oklahoma and reenact a particular scene from Berserk if it goes up.

Spoiler

And no she's not going to try to fuck the thing, just a few poses.

 

[baphomet]

Totally fucking awesome statue.

I would absolutely get my picture in its lap when im in ok again.

 

[the chris]

Badass. Baphomet has always been so chill.

He can be a dick though:

 

[dragonlife]

I fucking love anything Baphomet-related. I think it's such a great image.

 

[Cyan]

The pen0r is still there though.

You'll find out for sure once you're sitting on its lap. :O

 

[massoluk]

WHAT

The Hindu people in the article wanted to put Hanuman Statue up which is awesome.
I wished Buddhist people get the ball rolling with Buddha also.

 

[dan2026]

I'm trying to remember the Baphomet-esq Apostle in Berserk.

Is it in the cave under the tower where all the cultists are going nuts?

 

[GK86]

Is he free balling it under there?

 

[Carcetti]

Nice-looking and hilarious statue that exposes massive hypocrisy? Nice. I'd love to see him next to the Spaghetti Monster and Hanuman.

The group also unsuccessfully tried to place a Satanic holiday display at the statehouse in Tallahasee. Although Florida allowed a creche, a Festivus pole and a pasta draped chair celebrating the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the state drew the line at Satan.

At least someone got to air their grievances.

 

[Suikoguy]

Ok, this is way more awesome then I pictured it.

Berserk spoilers**

Yep, he uses his snake penis to have sex with cultists. The first time he makes an appearance is in statue form.The Count's wife is caught fucking a status (of him) at a cultist orgy. He loses his shit and massacres all of them then sacrifices his wife to become an apostle.

 

[Jeels]

I am a follow of an Abrahamic faith and I think it's cool.

There should be more cool statues all over the place of all cultures.

 

[Toparaman]

That is awesome bro. Hail Santa.

 

[waypoetic]

He can be a dick though:

How is the goat the dick in that?

 

[Anung]

I'm pretty sure this is how Silent Hill started.

 

[casabolg]

what could go wrong

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

that is one good looking monument. too bad this isn't larger, we (US) haven't been active on that front in a while, MLK and Korean excluded.

 

[akira28]

At least we know where the battle lines will be drawn for the Final Confrontation.

This manga is really fucking weird, you know that?

 

[Dash_]

I read that as scientists unveil.

 

[ohhthegore]

very boss

 

[Reversed]

Eh. GOAT statue, amirite?

I'd eat birria at a satanic themed restaurant just because of that goat.

 

[Phobophile]

Perfect setting for Immortal's next music video.

 

[JdFoX187]

As an Oklahoma resident, I fully support this. I want to see Gov. Fallon have to dedicate it too. Any woman nicknamed Mattress Mary should not be discussing the merits of the 10 Commandments.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Can't wait until kids are posing with Baphomet, taking selfies.

 

[SolidusDave]

Sweet.

Although it looks too nice. Might as well be a christian statue apart from the goat looking cooler than Jesus.

 

[Scrooged]

I don't understand why these groups decide to cling to images and physical representations of 'evil' that are directly from other religions (mainly Christianity). I mean, Satanists don't actually believe in Satan. In fact they are closer to secular humanists more than anything. So what's the point in being so divisive?

For modern, secular Satanists it's mostly about theatricality and flipping a big middle finger to those other religions to drive home the dramatic difference in values.

 

[Protein]

It's actually pretty awesome. I just think there's too much demon rape and rape in general. The creator has quite the imagination with demon penis designs.

Oh whoops! Look all your clothes got torn off by hands/claws/tentacles!

 

[nailbombxx]

Yes!! It IS actually a statue of Baphomet.

Totally called it.

 

[Scrooged]

For modern, secular Satanists it's mostly about theatricality and flipping a big middle finger to those other religions to drive home the dramatic difference in values.

Yeah, that's what I mean. But why? They have less of a chance of changing religious people's mind than any other type of atheist or humanist group. So in the end it seems like Satanism is a big club for assholes.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I believe the message of satan is a much better message for kids, than say, bank of america or goldman sachs!

 

[rexor0717]

This is awesome. Is this actually getting made?

 

[DC R1D3R]

loooooooool

 

[Lazyslob]

Yeah, that's what I mean. But why? They have less of a chance of changing religious people's mind than any other type of atheist or humanist group. So in the end it seems like Satanism is a big club for assholes.

Well, yeah. I don't think they're trying to change anyones mind. That imagery is offensive to some. And that's the point.

Because certain images promote certain ideas and groups, and those ideas are sometimes considered bad by other groups.

But on another note, some satanists do believe in a spiritual element to Satan (though many just confuse Satan with scraps of traditional european religions. As I said earlier, Laveyan Satanism is only an element of Satanism (though, the most popular branch of it) and exists more as a philosophy than an actual religion.

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Totally fucking awesome statue.

I would absolutely get my picture in its lap when im in ok again.

The pro's will climb it and sit on its shoulders.

 

[GungHo]

Where's the hot chicks?

 

[mantidor]

what I love the most about Baphomet is how completely made up it is. There's no actual "demon" in any old mythology named, or with the resemblance of, Baphomet, be it Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, anything. It was invented by the church to trial and execute masons.

I'm surprised at how tame it is, I guess breasts and erected phallus are against obscenity laws over there or something.

 

[Scrooged]

Well, yeah. I don't think their trying to change anyones mind. That imagery is offensive to some. And that's the point.

This group, at least, is trying to change people's mind about what should be acceptable to place on government property. Going about it in a tit-for-tat way like this makes the first amendment a joke though.

I say we should be fighting to get religious imagery out of the government, not putting more in.
