TL;DR Summary

A homeowner in Iowa is defending their right to display a 20-foot-tall inflatable version of the pagan idol Baphomet in their yard, arguing that it is no scarier or more confusing than other unconventional holiday decorations in the neighborhood. The homeowner points out that the Satanic Temple of Iowa has erected a similar display in the state capitol building, which includes the seven fundamental tenets of Satanism. While some have protested the display, the governor of Iowa has emphasized the importance of free speech and religious expression. The homeowner asserts their right to decorate their home as they choose and vows to keep their inflatable Baphomet in place.
