The United States of America (which is part of satan's kingdom) has many idols, many in Washington. Destroy all these idols and America will still be part of satan's kingdom.

Keep up the good work.

If somebody were to smash up a nativity scene at the state capital would you consider that good work, or is vandalism only acceptable when it's not targeted at something you find important?

While I was posting this I thought to myself "Someone who professes Christianity is going to come in here all mad about a satanic idol getting beheaded." And here you are.

I applaud him. He has every right to be angry.
be angry yes however that does not mean you get to deface property.

That has absolutely no business being in a state capitol building. Neither does a statue of Jesus, Buddha, Shiva etc.
thank you this is a secular country now if people want to have all faiths represented then that is fine, but I would feel the same way if it had been of Jesus.

because this is a secular society and Christians are not the only ones on the block that and taking it upon yourself to deface other people's property is unacceptable and illegal behavior.

Is that what you said when Jesus was flipping table in the Temple?

Well they crucified the Son of God, so they definitely weren't a Christian society.
and we are not either never have been. In fact many of the founders were Deists (not Christians). Christians are not the only people who live in this world and nation and as such as much as we may disagree with other people's religion we may not deface their property just like they may not deface ours. Moreover, that had no business being on state property anyway because this is a secular society, but in any case what this man did was unacceptable and he should face charges. In fact in some states he could face more serious charges than he would for defacing other property that was not of a relgious nature since doing so in many places makes it a hate crime.

I'm sure the Satanists will talk about what a good little Christian boy, or girl, you are while they indoctrinate your children/grandchildren in the After-School Satan Club. Maybe they will even invite you and your family over to the Satanic Temple for dinner and tell you how tolerant and compassionate you are, and how much secular society appreciates your example to all those other mean ol' Christians. As for me, I'll be keeping my Scottish Claymore sharp, waiting for Baphomet to show up at my statehouse.

Also, I agree with you that it shouldn't have been there in the first place. Glad someone decided to take it down.

A Jesus statute has no business there either.

A solution would be to have no religious statues whatsoever in a government building, and keep the interior minimalist. :)

I'm sure that is the actual end goal of the Satanists.

1) There was no such thing as secularism in the Roman empire. 2) Different situation anyway. The Temple was a religious/holy building and Jesus was angry at both the commercialization of a religious practice, and particular the fact that people were paying with these things using Roman coinage which had a deified Emperor. It was the idolatry in a holy place that angered him, not simply the existence of statues and idols in general.

Well, the demon worshippers should also stop. We have a separation of church and state in the US, so it is best to keep the demon worshippers' statue out of there, as well as remove the Christian and Buddha statue also.

I am a Christian by the way.

They aren't demon worshipers though. They are essentially political trolls trying to make sure the separation of church and state happens by taking advantage of the same things Christians are.
