Your argument is weak.

To a weak mind, perhaps.

"Kindly conduct yourself to the next state park, for example. Once there, begin to pray."

For how long will that be legal?

Ah, I see. So you're aware of some nefarious plot to stop praying in state parks. Quick! Call the newspaper!

There's already a shifting line in the sand that shouldn't be there at all. However, you fail the test of analogy. The monument isn't a prayer, it's a work of art with a Biblical theme.

Not according to the judges superior to your boy in Alabama.

In some towns, if such a thing can be visibile to the public, even on PRIVATE PROPERTY, it's outlawed. (Nativity scenes) This is censorship, both there, and in Alabama. The censorship only has a single logical source: anti-religious bigotry.

I don't think so, and without specifics, your point is moot.

IF Judge Moore is the source of your upset, you prosecute Judge Moore and refrain from persecuting all that see benefit or no harm from the mere presence of a work of art with Biblical themes.

I don't have to, I have other judges already acting on it.

And citizen, if that's your idea of art....

It's only art

Far more so than obscenity that is legal under the guise of "art"
