    Satanic Temple’s Baphomet Display Outside New Hampshire State House Destroyed

    KATHERINE HAMILTON 12 Dec 2024

    A statue of the pagan deity Baphomet erected by the Satanic Temple (TST) at the New Hampshire State House has been destroyed in an apparent vandalism.

    State Rep. Ellen Read, a Democrat from Newmarket, said the statue, which was placed near a Nativity scene, was toppled soon after it was unveiled on Saturday, Boston.com reported. Pictures show only the legs standing, with the head and torso toppled, and a tablet listing TST’s seven tenets cracked, with text missing.

    Police said they are still investigating and believe someone vandalized the statue between Sunday morning and Monday afternoon.

    The Salem, Massachusetts-based Satanic Temple received a permit to place their monument after Read encouraged them to join the scene to represent our “pluralistic society.” The state lawmaker is reportedly not officially involved with TST and did not design the display, but she did sign up as a member online.

    “I’ve just been a long time supporter of TST in terms of their beliefs and the work that they do,” Read said. “I’m local, so I helped with the permitting process, and I was there for the unveiling.”

    Read said the display was cleaned up and removed on Tuesday after the incident. She insisted there was “nothing inherently offensive” about the Satanic display.

    “There were accusations that it meant to denigrate Christians, but there was nothing about it that was denigrating Christians,” Read said. “If you don’t want to allow it for all religions, then you don’t have to allow religious displays.”

    The city for its part, said it approved the permit “to avoid litigation.”

    Concord Mayor Byron Champlin was critical of the display, saying at a city meeting that he did not believe it was in good faith.

    “I oppose the permit because I believe the request was made not in the interest of promoting religious equity but in order to drive an anti-religious political agenda and because I don’t respond well to legal extortion, threat of litigation,” Champlin said.

    Champlin said he would like to appoint a committee to evaluate how the city should handle unattended displays going forward, according to the report.

    The whole narrative is absurd on its face - at the same time the USA was both founded on White supremacy, slavery, and genocide, yet always meant to be a place that infinity Africans, Indians, and South Americans could come for a "better life"? - Unknown

    Sounds like a pretty awesome mayor honestly.

    This one needs to lose her next election for the good of the state.

    I think they handled it just fine this time.
    If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Turnabout is fair play.

    If the Nativity scene gets vandalized is anybody going to throw a fit?

    If your country is founded on freedom of religion, you can't play favorites.

    I lean toward no public displays of religion, period. I won't shove mine down your throat as long as you agree to do the same.

    The Satanic temple claims not to be a religion.
    And since we know they are lying satanists that makes them anti-religion, not religion.
    Freedom of religion never covered religions in violation of the Christian moral code upon which our culture and laws are founded.
    We do get to play favorites, nobody has a right to religious display on government property, the city should have simply refused the permit, it is a privilege within the discretion of the community.

    I meant no public displays on government or community property. You want to put a nativity scene in your front yard I'm Ok with that. If you want to put a satanic temple display in your front yard I wouldn't like it, but I gotta be Ok with that as well.

    Private property and I agree.

    Christmas is a national holiday with its roots deeply rooted in celebrating the birth of Christ. I know secularism has tried to take the holiday and turn it into something it’s not, but it’s still a holiday that Christian’s traditionally celebrate.

    It is disruptive and divisive to allow a second display which has no historical significance or relevance to the holiday to place a display as it did over the top of a traditional display. The satanists are not celebrating a holiday they are creating a disturbance.

    I don’t believe that the same town council would allow me, a straight male, to pull a permit during a pride week gay march to hang signs over the public streets with anti ***** messaging. This idea that a branch of government has to appease everybody at the same time is absurd and leads to nothing good.

    Christmas displays on public spaces during the holiday is a tradition. Anti christ messaging deserves no respect or response.

    I told you they were liars and were a religion.
    They applied for tax free status as one, but they insist to the public that they are not one.

    Christian morality is the foundation of our Common Law, Constitution, the laws at the time of our founding, and our culture.
    There was never a time until modern satanists and atheists began to corrupt our courts that it ever entered the imagination that thugees had a religious right to murder travelers, or that hindus had a right to burn widows alive, or that satanists had a religious right to murder the unborn.
    This unchristian atheist concept of the freedom of religion would allow anyone to invent a religion and give themselves permission to commit any crime in existence.

    The public has a right to authorize religious displays on public property to celebrate our cultural values, they don't have to give that privilege to anyone.
