Is this one of those monuments enscribed with Christian and Judaic symbols? Hmmm, which religion do they claim it is trying to promote?

Because if it promoting both, then it cannot be in violation of the establishment clause since you cannot be establishing a single religion if you are treating several equally.

So just "appearing" to be on public land is an affront to their sensibilities.

I think it's more of a case that simply having it appear anywhere they "might" see it is an affront to their perversions. And they do so dearly love their perversions.

Good to hear. I do not consider the folks who are so violently opposed to this to be "atheists". They are secular humanists. They are offended by other people, especially Judeo-Christians, having religious belief and a defined sensibility of right and wrong. And don't get me wrong, I'm not implying that atheists are not "moral" people. I simply suggest that we may attempt to live morally for different reasons.

Have NO doubt this is not the end of the line. The ACLU and like-minded people will continue to make us spend money to defend this monument.

For the life of me, I have never understood why people expend so much energy opposing something which they claim does NOT exist. Essentially, I believe they are simply bigots.

That's what I meant, but I was being polite.

Courtesy is a fine trait, but don't cast pearls before swine.

I'll be honest - I was being sarcastic!

I'll be pinging my list to this article later.
