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’s gotten has surprised him. Remarkably, he has received a deluge of hate mail from people who either identify as Satanists or deny the evil associated with the devil, as well as the wrongness of having sculptures of him in public areas.
Unidentified people who respect Cassidy’s strong opposition to Satanism and acknowledge the depravity in our culture have supported him despite his criticism. This encouraging response instills confidence in him.
Cassidy, on the other hand, has had to put up with a lot 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 vital topic. He argues that keeping icons and idols hidden from the general public is critical 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. Observing a desire to expose children to such evil is disheartening.
Cassidy also stressed in the interview the importance of shaping youth views. He believes that if you have an early impact on children and instill certain beliefs in them, those beliefs will stick with them throughout their 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.
