The Guardian reported that a New York-based satanist temple has contacted the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission and offered $20,000 to construct a satanic monument next to a Ten Commandments monument approved and constructed next to the Oklahoma Capitol building. “We believe that all monuments should be in good taste and consistent with community standards.
