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

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.

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.

For crying out loud, I attend a church that is so afraid of idolatry we don't even have any flags or a cross.

But, even with my background, it is very clear to me that keeping watch around the Ten Commandments is not worship of them, but is symbolic of a wider culture war.
