If Oklahoma wasn't so flat you wouldn't have these kinds of things happening.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A satanic group has unveiled designs for a 7-foot-tall, goat-headed deity it wants at the Oklahoma state Capitol.

The New York-based Satanic Temple released an artist's rendering of the monument Monday. A spokesman says the group has formally submitted its application to a panel that oversees the Capitol grounds.

The statue features a horned demon sitting in a pentagram-adorned throne with children next to it.

The Satanic Temple says Oklahoma's decision to put a Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol opened the door for its statute.

Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves says it's moving forward with plans to have its monument approved, despite the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission's decision to place a moratorium on new requests.

The commission says it's waiting until a lawsuit over the Ten Commandments has been settled.

I'd get a picture taken of me and Old Scratch kicking it on the throne.

**Ensis Ferrae**

**Scrazza**

Or just the penis? would the satanists be happy with that too?

**hotsauceman1**

**Scrazza**

**Kilkrazy**

It would be interesting if a Shinto fertility cult wanted to erect a giant representation of a tumescent phallus at the capitol.

**Ensis Ferrae**

I think I should start a petition and Kickstarter to design, and build a Jormungandr statue whose head/tail start/end at the Oklahoma Capitol... but actually wraps all the way round the earth

**Ouze**

Whoever wrote this story needs to be punched in the junk, hard.

You don't write a story about a statue being unveiled and then describe it instead of showing a picture.

**Scrazza**

is that the actual picture? sure looks like the description.

Looks nice to me. I can imagine a children's playground right next to it.

**gunslingerpro**

So when do we get to put up the Flying Spaghetti Monster statue?

**curran12**

Satan kinda looks like a mall Santa.

Satan...Santa...

OH MY GOD!

**Scrazza**

**reds8n**

....... odd, I don't remember that photo being taken ..?

**Scrazza**

The hellhound... err, the reindeer must have taken the picture.

Snap snap.

**illuknisaa**

We had this at our county courthouse a couple of years ago:

Does that count?

The CotFS has in fact already offered to donate their own monument, but no plans have been shown.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plans out. It's not like anybody would have expected that the cheap trick to get a Christian monument on the Capitol would backfire like this

**Peregrine**

So what are the requirements to get a monument placed? Can I insist that Oklahoma place a monument to Peregrinism's vital role in the history of this country? What about a monument to my entirely sincere religious belief that the current governor of Oklahoma is the antichrist, showing him burning in hell for eternity? Or should I start selling advertising space on my monument?

Until the entire Oklahoma state capitol looks like this we need to add more monuments!
