...this is about the meaning and intent of the 1st Amendment not who's religion gets the best public exposure.If this distortion is codified the rest of the Constitution will collapse.

That clarifies your post (#135) for me somewhat. But I am still confused. Do you say that many Christians, much as we may sympathize with them due to the attacks up on them, also misunderstand what the issue is all about?

Not at all, because Christains are on the correct side of the issue, Constitutionally as well as ethically.
What folks forget is that this would have not even been an issue in the 18-19 c. And probably not even up to approx the mid 20 C.

Those opposing this display of the Ten Commandments are being deceptive in that they wish folks to believe that the display is out of the norm, when in fact it is anything but that. So they resort to the time-honored-Leftist tactic of smearing Christians as "Bible thumpers", "Holy Rollers", etc. etc.

It's indisputable that this country was founded on a belief in God & His laws, this is what some wish to revise. Too bad for them that many Christians aren't just going to lie down and let them succeed.

If this was sitting outside Independence Hall in 1787 do you think 55 men would have still carried on the business of that day?
