A former Mississippi political candidate is facing criminal charges after a bedazzled statue of Baphomet, a figure associated with the Satanic Temple, was discovered decapitated at the Iowa State Capitol.
Michael Cassidy, 35, a former U.S. Navy pilot, told Fox News that he saw the controversy surrounding the display, which was heavily criticized by Republican politicians like Ron DeSantis, and drove to the Iowa Capitol to see it for himself. He said it hit a “nerve” and went on to destroy it.
…
According to an archived version of his campaign website, Cassidy pushed for a 10-year prison sentence for anyone who destroys a statue in his own state.
But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Or, was that behead your enemies?
In their minds, this is loving your enemy. Because Christians are right and everyone else is wrong. So forcing your beliefs on people is a good thing because you’re saving their souls.
This is why slavery was a good thing for Africans.

edited in the article in case people didn’t know that this is an actual thing GOPs believe
The sarcasm tag was too little too late, DeSantis has made your comment part of the Florida curriculum
I’ll edit my commnet with a link.
Lol I was just joking, it’s ok. I meant your specific comment was added to curriculum, not that they already whitewashed slavery
Love your enemies, sure. But when they put a goat statue in a government building, that’s a bridge too far! As a good Christian, you’ve got a right to defend yourself in life-threatening goat statue situations.
Who knows what it’s up to once you’re not looking at it?!
Are you implying baphomet statues are actually weeping angels?
Well, maybe not the time energy stealing kind but, we can’t be sure they don’t move just because they didn’t when we were looking at them
It’s far more than just a goat statue, have you seen it? It’s dope. I’ve always liked the children at his feet looking up to him lol I’m sure that triggers Christians so hard.
Awww the only words he can read are: enemies, hate, curse, mistreat. Bless his lil heart.
They say they love Jesus but they only talk Old Testament stuff. The Christian far right would have lynched Jesus the second they would have heard of some woke commie bum becoming popular.
That’s some commie shit
