Idiots.
They must be drinking allll that corn!

[camle]

why not call in the ACLU? don’t they safeguard our children from the evil influences of religion? \sarcasm.

Were the Buddhist statues just put up temporarily to mark the visit, and then taken down?

If so, I don't see the need to constantly push for "equal time". So they marked the visit of a Buddhist, so what? The Ten Commandments are available all the time.

Bloomington is home of Indiana university so not surprised.

[BuffaloJack]

The last time I checked, the Buddhists were NOT chopping heads, or advocating my death.

More important than the religious aspect, is the fact that this display is not only going to antagonize
all of Christendom, it is going to outrage our best friends,

the Chinese Communists.

The war on Christianity goes on. But there are valient Christians willing to fight the war now. Include me in that number.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I say this as a devout Christian, but I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. I don’t worship symbols or statues. More important than having a 10 Commandments statue is striving to OBEY the 10 Commandments on a daily basis.

What they say is more important than where they’re located, IMO.

The tablets were delivered and set up by a volunteer team of Christians after city officials declined to respond to the group's multiple telephone and e-mail requests about the procedure used to erect the Buddhist display.

Ah, the 'Ten Commandments' rapid response unit - men in SWAT gear dropping down ropes from a helicopter and installing tablets wherever there's a hint of another religion being visible to the public

Sorry, been watching too much '24' on DVD recently...

Bloomington IN is testimony to economic ruin wrecked by liberals and socialists. I lived there from 1958 to 1976. In those years it was a vibrant town.

I go back to Bloomington once a year and see economic ruin, despite the fact that it is home to the state’s land grant university. GE has left, RCA has left; in fact any kind of industry in Bloomingtion packed up a long time ago, and now the city looks far worse-buildings and houses in disrepair. The only businesses are trendy coffee shops and restaurants on 4th st and other service oriented providers.

Its depressing there, and frankly I’m always glad to leave at the end of my visit.

This is a town where smoking on the streets is BANNED, and will result in a fine..

A University town where liberalism has run amuk in recent years, as the non-university jobs all flee town...

We need a Second American Revolution while there is still an America left to save.

I was present at the unveiling of the American Heritage Foundation Rock in our county administration building. If you want to see how to legally display the 10 Commandments on government property, you may want to check out this LINK. This was installed on Sept. 11, 2003, (after the Judge Roy Moore problem), with a parking lot full of TV satellite trucks, reporters crawling over each other and overflow attendance. Yes, the ACLU was there, threatening to sue but there wasn't a peep out of them or the media because it can be done legally. Unfortunately, it probably can't be done with a Bible, only our founding documents which include religious references and the 10 Commandments. Good luck and God Bless.

Welcome to what those of us in Indiana like to call The people Republic of Bloomington.
