The Franklin Scandal is a good place to start if you're interested in connecting some of the dots between Satanism, abuse rituals and people in power, including politicians.

The point is, either the government allow ALL religions to have their monuments, or allow none. Since the Christians needed to put theirs up, they have to allow the Satanists too or remove the Christian one.

Oklahoma is simply gambling the courts will give it the same deal as Texas got. So Texas won the right to keep its Ten Commandments monument on its state capitol grounds as well as the right to keep other monuments it does not want out, whether religious oriented, or not.

When do we get a statue of Yoda, since Jedi is now an established religion?

Jedi Church - Jedi Religion and Jedi Faith

Personally, I hope they go with Original Trilogy Older Yoda as opposed to Creepy Younger Prequel Yoda.

i just did. there was no evidence of satanism and the claims of child sexual abuse were deemed "baseless" and an "elaborate hoax" by a grand jury ( let alone the alleged connection to "prominent citizens of the Nebraska Republican Party" ).

that connection came up lacking. got anything else?

Wow, you must be a really fast reader to get through all of that in just a couple of minutes. You missed a lot of details in your haste.

But the Texas monument had been there for over 50 years, the OK one has been there only 2.
Kentucky lost in their case to have the 10 commandment hung inside their court house too. It really could go either way, but the Texas case there are 40 other monuments on the same property and it is mixed religious and non religious in nature. OK only has the one, and it is religious.

please give me your best piece of evidence to support the claim that devil worshipping cannibals were running a child prostitution ring that was servicing prominent members of the nebraska republican party as well as high-level national US politicians.

I'd fight for the Satan statue, but that doesn't mean I'm fighting for Satanism. I don't even believe in God or Satan. That being said, I'd fight for equal religious rights. You want your Christian icons on public property? Then you have to allow other religious icons, be it Satan, Lord Ganesha or Helios.
