A monument to the Old Testament 10 Commandments is something quite different. It is a direct symbol of two religions, Judaism and Christianity. I didn't put it there, nor would I. I have nothing to put anywhere.

What relligion was Moses when he recieved the tablets? If I remember correctly, he was brought up Egyptian!

Judaism didn't get quite established until the levitical law...way after the 10 commandments. Just because the Christians and Jews use these commandments, don't think that these are the only ones...besides, Muslims honor them, so do Buddists and other religions because of thier moral attributes.

Name one religion it promotes placing the monument in the Court!

I believe in the Old Testament, there are references to using the colors gold and purlpe in the worshipping of god. So I guess gold and purple colored anything should be court ordered too. These people are nuts. Remember this quote from Reagan? -

"I know here that you will agree with me that standing up for America also means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. I believe this country hungers for a spiritual revival. I believe it longs to see traditional values reflected in public policy again. To those who cite the first amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The first amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny." - Ronald Reagan, Address Before a Joint Session of the Alabama State Legislature in Montgomery, March 15, 1982.
