Blog: Satanic Demon Display to Join Christmas Nativity at Illinois Capitol – By Michael W. Chapman (CNS News) / December 20, 2021
On Monday, Dec. 20, the Satanic Temple set up its diabolical Christmas-week display at the Illinois Capitol Rotunda, this year’s art work being a sculpture of the demon Baphomet as a “baby demon.”
Theologically, all demons were created as pure, complete spirits, angels, who rejected God’s authority and chose to follow Lucifer, or Satan.
The Satanic Temple’s display shows the demon Baphomet, part-man/part-goat, with long ears, horns, and perverted features. The sculpted creature was made by artist Chris Andres, and was designed apparently to celebrate the pagan holiday Sol Invictus.
According to its website, The Satanic Temple, a “religious organization, is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits.”
