Just like what everyone else says: in the US you can put up any religious items in your shop. It’s illegal if the police and government try to intervene since it’s an attack on religious freedom.
In the area where I live, there are a number of Hindus and I see statues of Ganesha whenever I step into any of their businesses. They also have swastikas in some places (NOT the Nazi version, mind you; the Buddhist ones).
In the US? Nope. There is still such a thing as religious freedom, regardless of what some say.
I could go online right now and get a statue of Anubis sitting on a throne of skulls from Walmart (I looked lol.).
No offense to you but your friends an idiot trying to control you.
Always look something like that up. Don’t let someone brainwash you, at least that’s what it appears your roommate is doing. I’d look for a new one, seriously.
Easy on the marketing there though please, people can contact you & you are welcome to add a link in your profile to your store, and some text, even images into your own profile, full rules & examples what’s permitted here: NEW: Advertising On This Forum Is Not Permitted.
If you want to marlet along with BALG, drop them a line:
Oh trust me. He’s much too thick headed. He’s one of those people who, according to themselves but with no evidence whatsoever, have passed the IQ exam as a genius. And uses it as an excuse to back up his knowledge. He’s a real piece of work. Only reason he’s even our roommate is because he’s my boyfriends friend.
Ah, he’s one of those people who took one of those great & mighty online IQ tests with 20 questions.
Coming to the main thing, having a statue of King Belial will not get you arrested, in fact, King Belial is known for manipulating people and protecting us from cops and authorities. No one has any legal right to arrest you (in USA) for your beliefs and practices unless you do something illegal, like child sacrifices, kidnapping someone for sacrifice, using illegal drugs, etc.
Hiya OP! IME you can only really get in trouble if your local law enforcement are dicks and try to find sideways to persecute you because they don’t agree with your spirituality.
So, your roommate wasn’t REALLY wrong, but they sure seem like theyre threatened by you! You may want to gag that concern in their head, if they’re claiming to be a Satanist yet are afraid of an image. Smells like an unstable personality!
I think the part they are getting afraid of is that I very suddenly gone from being afraid to even speak a single spirits name to coming to BALG and suddenly saying their names out loud and proud, but respectfully. Because I now know I was misinformed about the spirits.
Not to mention he may hear me speak the Litany of Lucifer every night before bed as a gift to him.
