Noboby has a right to use public property to display personal, political or religious messages.

And, anti-religious bigots have no right to demand the city remove it, either, if the city wants to continue to display it.

What's next? Are the same bullies going to demand the Liberty Bell be removed from public property because it has a Bible verse on it?

I believe that the use of the land is up to the city’s discretion. I have no problem if they used it for a religious purpose, because they’ve “made no law”.

But, again, it’s up to the city, not one individual.

The case for the Liberty Bell would be its historical significance. It isn’t there because of the verse, but because of it’s contextual significance.
