Say what you want, but their effigy-burning commitment is absolutely top notch.
They build a fucking statue that any Baal-worshiper would be thrilled to have in their home and then burn it.
That statue is awesome. Blows Banksy's picture-shredder out of the water.
I'm just wondering if they contracted the statue out to some artist without sharing their plans.
"You did what with it? Dude, that took me fifteen fucking months. MY WIFE LEFT ME!!!"
I really wish he and his wife could have made it through the ordeal. They held a lot of promise.
Burning a statue of Baal is metal as fuck. Set flame to the dying and rising god Baal, let his ashes bring strong harvests and renewal 🤘
I think the first part is a safe assumption, but I can I can’t imagine any reason for secrecy. It may have been state or community or corporate funding.
