NORTH BAY HARDWARE STORE'S HOLIDAY DISPLAY VANDALIZED, NATIVITY SCENE DAMAGED
"Very sad somebody wanted to deface something so joyful, we're just trying to make the community happy," said an employee.
SEBASTOPOL, Calif. (KGO) -- It's not even Thanksgiving but a vandal is suspected of taking all the air out of the holidays in one North Bay Community. Giant inflatables were slashed and spray-painted outside a local hardware store, a nativity scene was damaged too.
For the last six years, Sebastopol Hardware Center has been serving up Christmas with all the sparkle, in their holiday market tent.
"I come here and say, oh I can't wait to see what they have because they have great stuff here," said Bayne Cassidy.
"It's an exciting time for us, and for the community, obviously someone didn't feel that way," said store general manager Dan Allingham.
Allingham says early Sunday morning, eight giant holiday inflatables outside the tent were vandalized.
The figures were slashed and spray-painted with anarchy symbols and pentagrams.
Vandals also took black paint to the store's nativity scene. Most of the paint was removed

Outdoor manger scene destroyed at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Towson
TOWSON, Md. — A manger scene on the lawn of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, on Loch Raven Boulevard in the Towson area, has been vandalized.
There will be a special place for the person(s) who did this to our manger at Immaculate Heart Of Mary Church. On your day of judgement, you will be reminded of December 22-23, 2022. Disgraceful," he wrote. "But rest assured we will build a bigger and better one next December for our Live Nativity."

The Satanic Temple does not believe in a supernatural Satan;[1] instead it employs the literary Satan as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity.[12] Satan is thus used as a symbol representing "the eternal rebel" against arbitrary authority and social norms.[19][20] TST adherents generally refer to their religion as "Satanism" or "Modern Satanism",[21] while others refer to TST's religion as "Compassionate Satanism" or "Seven Tenet Satanism".[22][23]
So no belief in a higher power, no belief in a supernatural entity, just anti-authority and humanist.
Still a religion, whether you want to believe it in or not.
So you are against religious freedoms for all? Only the ones you approve of?

BILLINGS — At St. Patrick Co-Cathedral in Billings, the Christmas nativity scene is typically left up until early February.
But this year—that's not the case. The church's outdoor nativity scene was destroyed on January 16 - the same night Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church was broken into on the Billings South Side.
Father Leo McDowell said the incident has rattled the church at 215 North 31st Street.
"The wise men were all decapitated, the animals were strewn all over, and Mary, Jesus, and Joseph were missing,” McDowell said. “It was kind of a shock to think that someone would come in and do that."
Well if its ok to behead other religions altars, why not this one?
Speak out about ALL religious freedoms or keep it to yourself.

Religious freedoms. Keep up, now!
So you agree that someone who destroyed a religious altar in a government building should be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law?
It just happens to be a religion you arent. You can't just protect "your" religion if you want religious freedom for all.
Why do Satanists want to put satanic altars in government buildings at Christmas? Is it how they celebrate Christmas? What does a satanic altar at Christmas signify? When did Satanists start celebrating Christmas?
Are you on the wrong thread? This thread isnt about xmas. Its about banning religion.
You are clearly avoiding the question because you dont agree with a santanic altar in a government building. You only think your special religion should get these special treatments.
The Satanic Temple makes clear that its members do not actually worship the devil nor do they believe in either Satan’s existence or the supernatural. Instead Satan is used as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism.
So Satanism really isn’t a religion. Satanists don’t believe in the supernatural, they don’t believe in Satan. They believe in free will, humanism, and are anti-authoritarian.
None of those things are a religion or are religious beliefs.
So what does a Satanic altar represent, in a religious context? Satanists don’t even believe in Satan, they are putting a symbol of something they don’t believe in in public and saying what: here’s something we don’t believe in?
So you feel like you need to dissect and approve of each part of a religion for it to be valid? If you are curious about their religion I'm sure they have meetings you can attend.
But you still haven't spoken out about a christian man destroying an altar for a different religion. If we are for religious freedoms, does it not apply to all, or only the ones you approve of?

Anybody know what it means?

""Not only was that display targeted, but it was also targeted specifically by Christians, for sectarian religious reasons. This targeting was encouraged by legislators and even had the Iowa Governor, Kim Reynolds, calling it 'evil.' This is unacceptable," Benell wrote. "When our leaders make it permissible to destroy religious ― or non-religious — displays they find religiously objectionable, they are abdicating their responsibility to safeguard the freedom of expression of the citizens they represent.""

What’s the definition of religion?
religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.
That’s not what Satanists are, they don’t believe in the supernatural, gods, or God.
They don’t even believe in Satan.
