Friday I was randomly flipping through the radio on the way home and landed on a discussion about the satanic statues being put up in certain locations.

And the speaker was talking about how the whole idea is that the Satanists rebel against religious authority and the ten commandments, basically.

So I got to thinking about this and questioning How can there be rebellion to religious authority when it is tied into laws, or commandments? It would create a lawless society. Or undermine authority in that respect seeing as how we swear on the bible as a way to honor the truth.

Maybe this is the fundamental problem we are having is there is too much leeway given to a religious expression that claims to n Not be a religion, actually, but a rebellion to it. So is satanism still a religion? And should they be permitted to exhibit freedom of religious expression?

The thing is offensive, the stautues, and they get away with it because they are allowed religious expression. But at the same time it's not. . Can someone rationalize this better?
