That way your casual passerby would not likely be able to read it and therefore could not make any complaint about being forced into one religious direction or another by the State.
Nothing personal but your compromise is very scary. There is No Constitutional reason to prohibit a display of the 10 Commandments, since it clearly does not establish an individual religious sect as an official state church (what the constitution actually prohibits.)
In fact since 3 different world religions all consider Moses to have been a prophet, you(not you personally) cannot even honestly claim that posting them establishes one religion ahead of another.
What I find scary about your compromise is that a religious based idea can only be expressed if no one can be exposed to it. If that were to be accepted, then we would soon lose all our religious freedoms. Religious expression would soon be restricted to the walls of the church lest some passer by be offended.
So your idea of religious freedom and your ability to practice your religion means you have to be free to be in my face about it. Sounds similar to what the gay activists believe, they are only free if they can force us to accept their lifestyle.
I agree, sci fi guy! The first amendment, as the judge pointed out, guarantees that the federal government won't interfere in the right to religious expression. Alabamans have every right to express themselves religiously in any way they want.
