In 2012, Rep. Mike Ritze paid for the installation of a Ten Commandments Monument at the Oklahoma State Capitol’s front lawn.
Since he paid for the Commandments himself, it was classified as a donation and was allowed to be placed on government property.
After the Ten Commandments Monument was placed at the Oklahoma Capitol, the Satanic Temple announced that it wanted to donate a public monument to “complement and contrast” the monument on the grounds.
The proposed Baphomet monument features the devil in goat form.
“We decided to go with that because it is a fairly traditional character,” said Lucien Greaves, with The Satanic Temple. “It also offers a lap that visitors can come to sit on, have their picture taken with.”
When the Ten Commandments Monument was destroyed last year, the Satanic Temple said it would stop its plans of building a statue if the monument was not rebuilt.
Rep. Ritze decided to replace the monument, which meant the Satanic Temple would continue to fight for placement at the Capitol.
Earlier this week, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the Ten Commandments Monument must be removed from the state Capitol.
Since it will no longer be in place, the Satanic Temple is now forced to look for a new home for Baphomet.

This is really sad, and it illustrates just how screwed up the US now is.
It appears that the Supreme Court removed the Ten Commandments mainly to prevent the Baphomet statue from being installed.
What that means is men are afraid to battle Satan and are willing to turn their backs on G-d to avoid such a battle.
By the way, this is equivalent to what some states are doing in response to the SCOTUS ruling on same sex marriage - pretending they don't have to perform ANY marriages.
The fearful and those who turn their backs on G-d are not worthy to enter the New Jerusalem.
