10. It was the Satanic Temple’s “holiday display”

Showing a fallen angel.

And this wonderful example of Catholic tolerance is wrong. "Baby Jesus" was NOT removed - "The controversial display — in which an angel can be seen descending into a pit of fire — stood alongside both traditional Christian Nativity scenes and an 8-foot-tall “Festivus pole” made of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans."

I wish I had time to go to the Capitol and see the Festivus pole! It sounds intriguing.

My only objection to the other "holiday displays" is their lack of artistic merit. C'mon, guys, there have to be people with some artistic ability that would love to have their work displayed at the Capitol. The non-Christian displays are seriously amateurish - I could have done better when I was in elementary school!
