Disagree completely. The photo of the century will be a close-up of the chisel removing the Ten Commandments.
If you think this bodes well for the nation, you are fools, every one of you.

"What's going on now is just a chance for people to feel like they are doing something for God (gain celestial bonus points, you know)."
Those who are Born Again don't need (celestial??) bonus points. Their place in God's Kingdom is secure. Maybe its time to reconsider your strategy for getting to heaven?

Nope. I do have a problem with worshipping a stone idol, however, which is what the cracker "pastor" quoted clearly stated.

Quit giving them our business secrets. Its not like the TQM program hasn't been freely accessible as a business program for years - its no great secret.

'Cuz I get busy with other things in primetime, and others have schedules more suitable. It flexes out great.

They should go on the offensive. Declare that anyone who doesn't like the 10 Commandments is an "Anti-Semitic Bigot."

Given your deep devotion to religion and those that practice it (gag), clearly you understand that worshipping a stone idol would be in direct contradiction to one of the Commandments it contains.

Those saved don't need to worry about getting to heaven. So what sense does your point make if you're simply (but poorly) stating the obvious?

Amen for Judge Moore! Where does this ACLU foolishness end? "In God We Trust", Gone? No Bibles anyhwere? What about all the Greek gods and goddesses featured in public buildings are they not "relgious' symbols? Outside the US supreme Court bldg is a statue of Moses and guess what he has in his hands.

...clearly you understand that worshipping a stone idol would be in direct contradiction to one of the Commandments it contains.Clearly, I do. But does the "pastor" who was quoted understand that? It doesn't look like it.

Yes, yes yes. Now I understand. Its not that you HATE religion, you're concerned for the Pastor and his Flock. I'm sure YOU would be a much better representative for the concerns of those folks than that poor mislead (or misleading) religious man.
Geesh, talk about hypocracy with a capital H.

This is the kind of circus the Left uses to convice people that all Christians are kooks, and that conservative politicians intend to establish a theocracy. I can see the Left using TV images of this event in upcoming commercials when they try and "Bork" conservative court appointees.
This is the conservative version of those crazy chanting Leftist protestors, and as always, the crazies only hurt their own movement.

It's not an idol.
People aren't worshipping at it.
This is purely about the Rule of Law vs. the Rule of Man.
No law was violated in the statue's placemnt.
This is purely about the persecution of Christianity and the people who have had enough of it. It's just a statue with a Biblical theme...and that is too much for those seeking a more Communist state of being, like yourself.

We do not need government to bring us to religion.
It's not a religion, it's a statue. Everything with a Biblical theme is being censored. It is this censership that constitutes persecution against a specific set of religions.

People aren't worshipping at it. Then why have people been kneeling and praying in front of it? Why have they been arrested laying down around it? Why does a "pastor" claim that covering it up is covering up God?
