Unless you're prepared to declare that Moses and the ten commandments is irrelevant to Christianity you're splitting hairs. In addition if all the figures in the SC friezes are equal in import why are the rest still recognized for what they are yet Moses has been reduced to a non-entities and his tablets have been morphed into the Bill of Rights? Just a random defilement of history is it?
No, I'm declaring that Christianity is irrelevant to the display of historical lawgivers viewable inside the Supreme Court. It's an absurd leap to look at a freize of a dozen historical lawmakers, point to the Jewish leader (whilst ignoring the founder of Islam and others who worshipped different gods), and say it's evidence of Christian roots in our nation's founding. Especially when the whole damn thing was conceived and created in the 1930's
You're confused. Nobody's claiming that Moses's tablet contains the Bill of Rights. Moses with the 10 Commandments is depicted on the *South* Frieze, but the author's conspiracy theory concerns the East Frieze. The east frieze has various allegorical figures representing stuff like Justice and Wisdom and Defense of Human Rights. In the center of the frieze are male figures representing "Majesty of Law" and "Power of Government". On the ground between those two figures is a large tablet which the sculptor says represents the Bill of Rights. *That's* the tablet the author is writing about, *not* Moses's tablet. Moses is not on the East Frieze at all.
