Lower caption: But when I do, they're articles about The Satanic Temple. They're awesome.

A man intentionally crashed his car into the Oklahoma 10 Commandments, and politicians immediately took that as an opportunity to blame Satanists. The man was schizophrenic and would later appear in court wearing a t-shirt quoting Ephesians 6:11: “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” He claimed that the Devil had made him do it, but he was clear that he was a God-fearing Christian who felt that a 10 Commandments display imposed by the state was idolatry. No matter. It was convenient to attempt to blame us.

Lordy, this is good.

I'm also somehow reminded of the habit of MAGA people shooting MAGA influencers/politicians.

Excellent. Now get this in every state/school that has the 10 commandments up anywhere funded by taxes.

I opened the comments in case I needed to explain/defend the Satanic Temple to anyone. Then noticed the com. Nice! I browse the equiv of /r/all but still subbed. :)

What would have been interesting is if they could make the car accident ruining the Ten Commandments actually be a form of First Amendment expression.
