Fa la la la fail.

The Satanic Temple is having some trouble keeping its creepy demon statue intact. Namely thanks to people who don’t appreciate having a monument to evil erected in their public buildings.

It all started when the Satanic Temple, which has a penchant for trying to piss people off around the holidays by shoving their demon goat sculptures right next to the Baby Jesus in holiday displays in government buildings, decided to put their weird half-man, half-goat Baphomet statue in the New Hampshire State Capitol building earlier this month. The state government had OK'd the statue to avoid getting sued by the group for discrimination. 

But that didn't stop ordinary people from taking matters into their own hands. According to this, the nasty thing was dismembered within hours of being put up.

So, the idiots put up a second statue, unveiling it last Monday. It was beheaded almost immediately.

Now, the “temple” is whining that the vandalism is a sign of religious “intolerance,” complaining that manger scenes and menorahs are left unscathed while their pagan goat deity’s been toppled over more times than a Christopher Columbus statue in the middle of a Black Lives Matter rally.

"The fact that a manger is a-OK, but a tiny little statue of Baphomet that's 1/20th the size isn't? Not kosher," one Satanic Temple member said.

"To know that there's people around here who aren't willing to allow people such as myself to express my religious views and the religious views of countless others who want to be able to celebrate and believe in what they believe in," another complained.

Or, maybe, sane people just want to commemorate Christmas with a nice Nativity scene and have no patience for your demonic temper tantrum. And not every display of idiocy is worthy of “tolerance.”
