Conservative Christians are Christian supremacists almost by definition.

Oh, yes, Baphomet. Knights Templar and Eliphas Levi of whom I am well read. The fear believers have of this symbol reminds me of an alcoholic friend of mine who took it upon himself to decide for his family and others which kids cartoon characters were of the devil. It is so easy to be widely believed here. Jerry Falwell went so far as to claim which ones were gay and told us why they were. Hey, Jerry. It is an image. Only an image or a cartoon character. Now we are defining them by bible hearsay. Oh, my.

And this how an increasing number of us are feeling about all the Christianity displays. Years ago a Jewish group asked to include a Hanukah along side the nativity display at the airport and it was granted. Then FFRF put up their own display and all hell broke loose. The FFRF display was taken (but later found) and it was up to our governor to decide. At first she said all displays were allowed and she started getting hate mail. In the end no political displays are allowed, only those that are created by the airport.

Priceless, the irony that catholics protest Satanism by erecting banners around a Christmas tree, a pagan symbol of Yule, that is expressly forbidden by the bible, and they don't see it.

That Christianity is a cult devoted to the really swell idea of propitiatory human sacrifice is also somewhat ironic.
Gotta love those satanists.
I know I do.
Any group that can drive the religutards as crazy as they do is just fine by me.
Hail satan!

LOL…..if Satan punishes the “Evil and the wicked” I’d say he’s a good man!!
@CuddyCruiser Gee, I thought god was the one who did that. You know, floods, plagues, locusts, etc, etc, ad infintinitum.
If I remember correctly, Roman Catholics were a driving force behind church/state separation back in the day. As members of a religious minority they were quite rightly worried by the possibility of ill treatment by the Protestant majority.

Oh most definitely. In one of my education classes on law, they fought against the government paying their teachers when at least one city suggested doing that because they feared if the Catholic school system crumbled, the public system couldn't handle an onslaught of more kids. In some places, like in Northern Pennsylvania, some small town Catholic schools were as populated as the public systems.
We tried to put a statue of the flying spaghetti monster next to the ten commandments on our state grounds but it hasn't happened yet.

Here’s a better idea. Place a 2nd set of 10 commandments beside the 1st. Yours would be the list from Exodus 34, which is quite different from the traditional list of Exodus 20. Then stand back and watch the gears start to grind in the minds of the born againsters. It’s great fun.
Illinois born and raised and couldn’t be prouder that they are riling these fascists!
