Odds are Jesus was illiterate. Would make it difficult for him to write anything down, don't you think?

We can debate Christianity until the cows come home and pigs fly and still be no closer to the truth than we are today or 2000 years in the past.

Going back to Gracie's original argument, I don't see petitioning for this statue as being mean or bad. I see it as making a very loud, bold statement. If Oklahoma feels it can put the Ten Commandments in its state offices, then Satanists, Hindi, Buddhists, et al. should have the right to put another religious item in that same area. Do remember that it is not only Satanists asking for this right -- there are a few religions asking to put their statues there. It just happens that the statue of Satan is the one the news media will mention -- it's the most offensive to the most people.
