Oklahoma Megachurch Erects Statue of Literal Demon-god in Church

An Oklahoma church has created a statue of a false god and put it in their church lobby for congregants to pass by and take pictures with.

Life.Church is 85,000-member, seeker-sensitive, multi-site-based Oklahoma church that has 40 locations. We’ve covered them previously in our posts:

• Life Church Puts on ‘Jurassic Park’ Themed Church Service + Animatronic Dinosaurs
• Mario Sermon Series? Life Church Transforms Church into Mushroom Kingdom + Singing Bowser
• Megachurch Puts on ‘Spiderman’ Themed Church Service +Webslingers Galore!
• Megachurch Puts on ‘Ghostbusters’ Themed Service, With Slimer and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

For their At the Movies sermon series, Life.Church Omaha put on a Moana-themed sermom series and decorated the church building with the theme. (Click to enlarge)

Along with these set pieces, however, was the erection of a large depiction of the false goddess Te-Fiti right near their entrance.

In the Moana films, Te Fiti was the first being to exist in a world of only ocean. She is a divine being with the ability to create life, which she used to form the Polynesian islands. Using her life-giving heart, she crafted islands filled with plants, animals, and people. After her work, she rested, becoming an island herself. Her heart became a coveted treasure, sought by villains like the Great Eel, Tamatoa the crab, and the fierce Kakamora pirates, all wanting its power for themselves.

Maui, himself a demigod and a bold trickster, used his shapeshifting skills to steal the heart from Te Fiti’s spiral, hoping to gift it to humans. This theft plunged the island into darkness and turned Te Fiti into the demonic god Te Kā, fiery and destructive demon who becomes the film’s main antagonist

With Te Kā in control, a dark, life-draining force begins to destroy the islands Te Fiti had created, and only restoring her heart stopsthe destruction.

And Life. Church just put a depiction of it in their church building so that people can take pictures of themselves alongside this deity.
