it’s a symbol. symbols are important. They aren’t irrelevant. This is the public sector paying respects to a religion. That violates the establishment clause and sends the message that anyone who isn’t a christian is a second class citizen to anyone who passes by it in front of the court houses.

It’s public land, used for things in the public interest. I have no issue with people putting these things up on PRIVATE property but the state is supposed to be neutral in religious matters and this being there violates the sanctity of that neutrality!

Ifls shutoff the comments like typical liberal bull shit and I didn’t get to reply to your climate change accusations.

Roman, are you just going around to all of the places I have posted and commenting?

The yin the yang, the dark and the light, the good the bad, the divine the evil, it doesn’t matter what you call it or how you worship if you obey the ten commandments you’re on one side, if you don’t, you’re on the other.

You really don’t understand the point of laws then. They are breaking the law by endorsing one religion over others and refusing to let other people place statues endorsing their point of view. It must be everyone or no one–it must be equal.
You can say–oh, it’s just a statue, look away if you don’t like it–but that’s not the point. It would be like a police officer purposely ignoring a shoplifter because he is only stealing a pack of gum–but every day that he gets away with it, someone else notices and then they steal a pack of gum. Pretty soon everyone is stealing gum and you can’t prosecute them all, so everyone gets away with it.
I don’t want to go to every government building and stare at a quote from a religious text that I don’t believe in any more than a Christian wants to go to renew their driver’s license and be confronted with a section of the Koran. I also don’t want my tax dollars funding this nonsense when they could be going to social programs.
Also,
This statue is on public land it is a purely religious monument, which means that everyone who needs to access the building will see it and anyone who doesn’t believe in the 10 commandments will have the clear message sent to them that their religion is less privileged or taken less seriously–and never mind those of us who do not believe.
Why don’t you ask yourself what the motive behind this statue is–they could have easily chosen the declaration of independence or the Bill of Rights or any other actual AMERICAN historical document, but they didn’t.

Don’t forget a lot less in the whole “My god is right! And if you don’t agree I’ll use an army to fight you about it!”
