Man Protests Proposed Baphomet Statue on Capitol Lawn Copyright 2019 Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Video

LITTLE ROCK, AR.-- - The Secretary of State's office is reviewing requests for various monuments on the state capitol lawn. A committee has stated the process of approving four monuments that would sit on the lawn.

Among them, a Ten Commandment statue already approved by the legislature and a bronze sculpture of a demon proposed by the satanic temple.

People are voicing and protesting the possibilities of a demonic statue on the Arkansas State Capitol lawn.

"If they decide they want to just not have any monuments, that would be ok with me.. but we definitely cannot have a statue of Baphomet because that would invite the devil," protestor Steven Tate said.

The protesting started at 6 a.m. on Thursday morning. Tate said he got quite a few thumbs up from people driving by.

An atheist group has proposed a "wall of separation" that would go between the Ten Commandments statue and the satanic monument.
