Michael Cassidy, the courageous Christian veteran who demolished the Satanic Temples’ statue of Baphomet at the Iowa State Capitol, strongly urged his fellow citizens to reconsider their cultural values and resist the influence of Satan in a recent interview.
The reaction Cassidy has gotten has surprised him. Remarkably, he has received a deluge of hate mail from people who either identify as Satanists or deny the evil that is connected to the devil and the wrongness of having sculptures of him in public areas.
Even though Cassidy has been criticized, he has also had support from unidentified people who respect his strong opposition to Satanism and acknowledge the depravity in our culture. He is encouraged by this encouraging answer.
Cassidy has, however, also had to put up with a great deal of hate mail from Satanists and others who support them, primarily from trolls on Twitter and false Facebook profiles. He related a very moving letter he received from a father in Iowa who was disappointed he was unable to show his daughter the demonic idol that day.
Cassidy is adamant that this is a really important topic. He contends that keeping icons and idols hidden from the general public is crucial because their exhibition in public settings can have far-reaching effects. He feels that people should be aware of these icons’ significant influence on our culture.
Cassidy ends by restating his passionate message: “I want people to accept Jesus Christ and reject Satan. That ought to be the main point we make. Seeing a want to expose kids to such evil is depressing.
Cassidy also stressed in the interview how important it is to mold the views of the next generation. He thinks that if you have an early impact on children and inculcate certain beliefs in them, such beliefs will stick with them throughout their entire lives.
Michael Cassidy’s unshakable adherence to his faith serves as a potent reminder for all Americans to examine their own views and the implications they may have for our society’s future in a world where morality is continuously put to the test.
