You make a great point. People in the majority now, don't want constitutional protections for religious minorities, because it doesn't affect them, right now, since their ox isn't being gored.

This country is becoming vastly latino, and catholic while baptists aren't noticing. They are having struggles in Poland right now regarding the rights of those who are non catholic christians because of the super majority catholic faith of people over there.

I wish people would take the long sided view. Demographics should teach people that what exists now, won't necessarily exist later. California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico for example will soon be overwhelmingly Catholic, not protestant. Alot of evangelicals would not want to go to court where a statue of the pope is required to be passed before they enter.

What are you even talking about? Whose ox is being gored right now? Whose rights are being violated?

It's really rather simple. Judge Moore can buy an acre of land and put up a 10,000 foot monument of the Ten Commandments if he wants. Well, unless it's adjacent to an airport, I guess.

But there's no need for him to erect it in a government building, and a reasonable reading of the Constitution precludes it.

If Judge Moore can do this, then Judge I.M. Antichrist can put up whatever he wants in the rotunda of his Supreme Court Building.

Nobody wants to look at the flip side.

They will also overwhelmingly NOT be US citizens.

New Mexico has been overwhelmingly Catholic for several hundred years.

Straw man argument. I am a member of a religious minority and I welcome display of the 10 Commandments. It is an historical document, intrinsic to the fouding of this country, and I am not offended in the least by it. You're dragging in Popes, and Baptists, and what not. This is silly and has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
