This petition does not mention government paying for anything

You want the 10 Commandments posted on public property, at public expense, giving one religion govt's imprimateur, in violation of the First Amendment.

- it prevents government from making us NOT display the ten commandments should we wish to.

You can tattoo them on your butt for all I care. Keep them off govt property though, because it is a violation of the First Amendment.

Indulge me this paraphrase.

The fool[ish] government has said in their heart there is no God. They are corrupt their way are vile there is no one who does good. Ps 53:1

It is clear, the ACLU wants a nation of fools.

They already have been, in NO violation of the first amendment. Otherwise you would have to take a sandblaster to the supreme court building.

Pshaw.

By your reasoning, the Declaration of Independence likewise is "unconstitutional".
