A Satanic organisation unveiled a controversial bronze Baphomet sculpture
in Detroit just before midnight on
Saturday, after trying in vain to have it
installed near a Ten Commandments
monument in Oklahoma. Due to planned demonstrations, the
group, which is opposed to Bible-themed
displays on government land, kept the
location of the unveiling of its nine-foot-
tall monument secret until the last
moment, when it emailed the information to ticket holders. The Satanic Temple unveiled the one-ton
statue at an industrial building near the Detroit River just before 11.30pm local time as supporters cheered: “Hail Satan.”
Some of the hundreds in attendance
rushed to pose for photos. The statue of a winged Baphomet with a
human body and a goat’s head resembled
a design the group previously released.
Statues of a boy and a girl stood in poses
of adoration on either side. Jex Blackmore, director of the Satanic
Temple Detroit chapter, said temple
members planned to transport the
sculpture to Arkansas, where earlier this
year the governor signed a bill
authorizing a Ten Commandments monument on the State Capitol’s
grounds. The Temple had unsuccessfully applied to
have the statue placed near a Ten
Commandments monument installed in
2012 on the Oklahoma State Capitol
grounds. The Oklahoma Supreme Court recently ruled the Ten Commandments
monument violates a section of the state
constitution that bans the use of state
property for the benefit of a religion. Lawmakers in the socially conservative
state responded with threats to seek the
impeachment of the court’s justices and
pledged to push for changes to the
constitution.
Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin, a
Republican, said she will keep the
monument in place as the state appeals
the decision. On Saturday, the presentation of
Baphomet in Detroit drew protest from
local Christians. About 50 people prayed
for the city and denounced the
monument outside a business where the
Satanic Temple previously tried to display the statue before fears of a backlash
scuttled the plan. “The last thing we need in Detroit is
having a welcome home party for evil,”
said the Rev Dave Bullock, a pastor at
Greater St Matthew Baptist Church in
Highland Park, Michigan.
