>>you have the choice to ignore as we have the choice to ignore that which offends us<<

And if you wish to pay to have the decalogue placed on private grounds, 50ft high in blazing neon that is your right (zoning laws notwithstanding). However, when you are asking me to have my tax dollars go towards promotion of your religion, and put in a public place (courthouse, school etc) then it is very hard for me to ignore this, especially due to the establishment clause - would you be in favor of state/federal funded plaques with words from Allah or Buddah on them?

You are making me pay for you to take down the Ten Commandments. Why?

Just keep on speaking up - it just shows those that care about their religious rights exactly what is facing us. You are trying to put your rights above the rights of those who have had the ten commandments in buildings before - YOU are the one causing government to spend money on it. Why?
