2 Corinthians 11:14 " And no marvel, Satan himself poses as an angel of light."

He can't show his true colors. He appears good and traps you at the end.

Some people thought Lady Liberty looked like a man whenever she was unveiled, but that was not the intent. The French sculptor used his mom for a model and is said to also have been inspired by the Roman Goddess of Liberty. The statue's stern look and strong features are meant to represent the difficulty of the quest for freedom.

She does not wear a crown of thorns. Those rays represent the seven seas. The broken shackle and chains at her feet represent the abolition of slavery. Actually, the whole thing was a gift designed to celebrate the end of slavery.

It has nothing to do with Satan and has nothing whatsoever to do with immigrants either.

I visited the Statue of Liberty when I was a kid and climbed all those steps. It gets harder when you leave the base and climb the tight spiral staircase inside the statue itself. The view from inside the crown is amazing!

I had no idea there was a conspiracy theory about the Statue of Liberty but I shouldn't be surprised. However, the truth about it is plenty enough for me and very inspiring. The freeing of the slaves was one of the best things we ever accomplished as a nation. Whenever a terrible wrong is finally righted, that's reason to celebrate!
