The Illinois Capitol is featuring a satanic religious exhibit mocking Christian nativity scenes this holiday season, with a figure of Baphomet installed by the so-called Satanic Temple to recognize the holiday of Sol Invictus.
The Satanic Temple is claiming Sol Invictus is a holiday of their religion, despite the holiday’s grounding in ancient Roman and Greek polytheistic religious beliefs distinct from the Abrahamistic figure of Satan. The so-called religious organization cites fighting for abortion as a key element of its mission. This is the third year that a satanic exhibit has been featured at the Illinois capitol, with the mockery of nativity scenes installed on Monday, and it’s featured with a Jewish menorah scene and a Christian nativity scene.
The child Baphomet figure was designed by a New Mexico horror artist, in a development that raises questions about the Satanic Temple’s religious authenticity. The Satanic Temple previously erected an exhibit at the Illinois Capitol that depicted Eve taking an apple from the Tree of Knowledge in the Old Testament, featuring a so-called exhibit of their own religion that takes content from the Christian and Jewish(arguably even Muslim) scriptures.
Christian traditionalists protested the satanic statue by reciting the Rosary as the satanists put up the exhibit on Monday.
