"We have atheists and Satanists getting the Bible's Ten Commandments removed from public property," said Mark Dice, spokesman for the group The Resistance, "yet the satanic Georgia Guidestones have stood for decades, and nobody seems to care. Well, we do."

Wait, wait wait... So their logic is "we can't have our Ten Commandments on public property, so this guy shouldn't be allowed to have his ten commandments on private property"??? Did nobody explain to them why this is stupid and wrong?
"We can't have ours on public property, so to be fair you can't have yours ANYWHERE!"
And they wonder why we say they're intolerent... *sheesh*
It's funny because these kinds of people go berserk if a city or state uses eminent domain to take a tiny portion of their land for a public project... well, apparently "property rights" aren't so sacrosanct when the property in question isn't theirs.
Also, how's the Starbucks thing going, Mark?

Actually reading on what's written on it, it looks like it was made by a bunch of nature lovers. Very stupid nature lovers, they misspelled a ton of things.
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature
Eh, whether or not you agree with what's on the commandments on private property, the difference is, they're not being pushed on every citizen.
Satanic? I read the article, and the only idiots who are saying it's 'Satanic' are you pouting fundies.
It's on private property, so shaddup!
@szena: It sounds like the paranoid (read: fundie) mind would take tham as a New World Order, whatever that is, conspiracy. The part about keeping population at 500,000,000 is a favorite with conspiracy kooks. Conspiracy nut extrordinaire Alex Jones is a regular on religious shortwave stations, and he always says the UN/New World Order wants to "exterminate 80% of mankind," through disease, warfare, etc. to cull the herd. It's all bullshit.
You can plaster the 10 commandments on your lawns, on the sides of your churches, and every other private property you can get to agree to have it there.
Public property, especially government buildings, is where there is an issue.
Cute, seems as though the fundies are trying to fight back, and in their usual form, they don't understand the issue, and just lash out at whatever they perceive to be an insult to their Bible.
I can definitely see some neo-pagan and New Age influences in the stones, but honestly, nothing on them seems to strike me as "evil".
Those guidelines really do sound Satanic...
...in the sense that Satanism is a form of materialistic atheism. Sorry, fundies, not the way you mean it.
OK. Having looked these Georgia Guidestones on Wikipedia, the only conclusion I can come to is that it's just some dude thinking out loud, and I can't really see why fundies would get so pi...
...Oh. Thinking . Now I'm getting the idea.

Do you ?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
