The Ten Commandments are getting lots of press. I can foresee many threads and posts regarding this issue.

Who says you can't worship God as you see fit, as long as you don't use the government to advocate the worship?

Good point, but some questions:

Does placing the statue in the rotonda of a court house advocate or establish a particular religion?

Yes?

If it does in fact advocate or establish a religion, which religion is it (Christian, Jew or Muslim)? All revere the 10 Commandments.

If it is "X" religion that is advocated or established, how will the "government" insure that you or I practice it? (If Muslim,...well nevermind, we're still armed). Sorry for so many questions, but...

Why do you think the statue has caused so much of an uproar? I see statues, paintings, sculptures, movies, magazines, etc. all the time that creep me out or offend, but never would I think to try and remove them/it. Maybe I'm just to easy going.

Roy Moore intended this rock to be his testimony to his belief that a Christian God's commandments should rule this nation. He has said as much.

Can't do that.
