Prohibition of a particular religion on public lands is just as much a crime as prohibition of any or all of them.

Religious advocacy is prohibited by a government official in his official capacity. That's what Moore is doing.

How is not having the Ten Commandments on display in the foyer of the Alabama Supreme Court persecuting Christianity?

The First Amendment does not prohibit "religious advocacy by a government official." The First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national church by Congress. So you must be referring to some law other than the First Amendment. What is it?

[Maelstrom]

No.

That's what you guys are doing...

You're advocating against religion. Government isn't supposed to CARE about religion, it isn't supposed to abhor it.

You're part of a situation where religion is quickly becoming prohibited.

That is bigotry on your part. It is religious *intolerance*. It is the exact opposite of the meaning of the 1st Amendment.

You cannot abhor all religions equally and consider yourself somehow "tolerant" any more than you can hate all minorities equally and consider yourself non-racist.

[Maelstrom]

Christianity?
or
Judeoism?
or
Islam?

It's a prohibition of religion, sinkspur. Advocating it's removal is a clear demonstration of anti-religious bigotry.

Religious advocacy is prohibited by a government official in his official capacity.

The Ten Commandments and the monument aren't government officials, your fan-dancing notwithstanding.

[Cold Heat]

Religious advocacy is prohibited by a government official in his official capac.......

Come on Sink! You stated the argument exactly. You said "religious" advocacy.

The constitution allows and protects religious advocacy, but not the advocacy of one religion. My point is that the commandments only advocate God, and not any particular religion. At least not one that is evident.

What is it? A secret religion?

Anyway, that is the way I see it. Some may see this as an attack on Christianity. I think that is not correct.

This is a blatant attempt to remove God from all that is public. Not just religion. And that, is unconstitutional. This is where I draw the line.
