What a pathetic strawman you have there. Since you have no idea of the actual reason that monument of the Ten Commandments is allowed to be there, let me correct you by showing what ACT 1231 actually says: The law states the "placing of a monument to the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol would help the people of the United States and of the State of Arkansas to know the Ten Commandments as the moral foundation of the law," and that the monument would be paid for by private donations.

Therefore, all the law is doing is allowing the monument to be there as an endorsement symbol of the morality that exists as the historical foundation of American law; and it doesn't even allow for the monument to be paid for by taxpayers, requiring it to be funded privately and not publically. The organization who put it there isn't even a government organization; it's a private non-profit organization called The American History & Heritage Foundation. The monument is essentially presented by the people and for the people. The ten commandments monument is totally constitutional and you cannot deny it.

Besides, freedom from religion is not the same as freedom from morality and lawfulness. Satanism is a blatant inversion of the morality that the current laws of the land originated from in the first place, seeking to push moral relativism and social darwinism and epi-eugenics. Its perverted morality is literally anti-human, and fundamentally anti-American, so don't be surprised and pretend to lose your shit when you observe American people preferring lawfulness over lawlessness out of love reverence for Jesus Christ, the one true God who is righteous and true to His Word and perfectly just in all His ways and worthy of honor and praise and is the absolute victor against all evil and unrighteousness.

The very foundation of your argument is wrong. What law forbids worshipping other gods? Punishes not honoring your parents? Which one punishes you for working on a Sunday? Or taking the lord's name in vain? Coveting your neighbor's wife or property? Lets not forget that these are mortal sins punishable by death. So which law says cheating means the death penalty? There's a few good rules and many more bullshit ones. It doesn't matter if it was privately funded as it is being endorsed by the government. The point of the Baphomet statue was to show the hypocrisy of pushing your religion while openly denying others their own.

Yet another pathetic strawman. Don't be a strawman factory, dude. You're deliberately ignoring the distinction between civil law and morality.

Moral values are not civil laws; civil laws are mere reflections of moral values. For example, the moral values of God and family as revealed in the ten commandments are not civil laws in and of themselves; but rather, those moral values influence the making of civil laws and rights that enable for those values to be freely expressed by the people. When you take away or invert those moral values, you end up with laws that unjustly take away the free expression of those values and deprive human beings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hapiness. You're literally advocating for the opposite things of what you want to look like you're advocating for, which is the definition of hypocrisy.

You also forget the distinction between God's law and civil law. The ten commandments are not merely moral values, but also they are God's laws, given by God to be enforced by the Israelites for a specific duration of time until Jesus Christ came and fulfilled the law. As you pointed out, the wages of sin is indeed death; but ever since Jesus Christ fulfilled the law by dying the death that we all deserve on the cross, the enforcement of the Mosaic law is no longer up to civil authorities, but up to God alone. However, civil authorities are still responsible for punishing evil and rewarding righteousness. Civil laws are laws legislated by man and influenced by moral principles, and their jurisdiction and enforcement is limited because it doesn't surpass the authority of God's law (again God is the enforcer of His law), and seperate from God's law because mankind is flawed and God is perfect in righteousness. Therefore your argument is glaring evidence of your ignorance of how law and morality actually works.

Unsurprisingly, you also completely ignore my point that the government endorses the Ten Commandments monument as a symbol of the moral and historical heritage behind American civil law. Don't you know how to read English? This doesn't mean that the government is endorsing a specific religion; heritage is not in an of itself a religion.

The only hypocrisy that stupid satanic statue exposes is the blatant hypocrisy of satanism pushing its own perverted morality while denying people's treasured religious, moral and cultural values, while sociopathically attempting to claim any moral high-ground.
