With religious statues, honor good, not evil: #tellusatoday
Oklahoma received a proposal this month for a satanic statue to be placed near its state Capitol in response to a Ten Commandments monument. We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:
A Satan statue has no historical significance to civil law. It's inappropriate.

I have to say that I agree that if Christians can build statues, so can Satanists. I may not like the statue, but that's life.
— @teacupsmommy
Equating good and evil is just another ludicrous lefty feel-good exercise.
— @RBSII
As long as a religious statue is a representation of "good," all should be welcome.
— @marySAMSmith
I'm not a religious person, but many statues/symbols have great historical value, so they should remain standing.
— @Mattakingabreak
Religion is a part of history, and statues should remain. The U.S. currency has "In God We Trust" on it.

I don't mind religious statues on display in government buildings as long as laws don't favor one religion.

The separation of church and state is what makes us free.
