Such IDIOTS! It is not "Unconstitutional." The core principle at stake is NOT the U.S. Supreme Court manufactured concept of SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. It is FEDERALISM and liberty itself. The STATES have the power to do what they want in this area -- always have (Massachusetts and Georgia had "established" religions at the time the country was founded, and we could, in theory bring in a 51st state with an established religion, say Puerto Rico). Towns can also "establish" religions, like States.

I am sick and tired of Federal judges re-writing history and ignoring 150 years + of understanding and jurisprudence! The Constitution was written to prevent the FEDS from "etablishing" a religion -- and they ARE through this subterfuge -- militant atheism.

Unfortunately, too many state officials, such as the justices in Alabama, are ready to yell "surrender" and run away like Frenchmen at the first sign of a Commmunist Federal judge treading on their turf.

As a citizen of the United States I am thrilled that there is a seperation of church and state.

There isn't a Seperation of Church and State!

It is people like you that do not acknowledge God as the soveriegn God that shaped this great country...You need a history lesson!

"Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe." --James Madison

"We have this day restored the Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come." -- Samuel Adams

"Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint." --Daniel Webster

"Your love of liberty -- your respect for the laws -- your habits of industry -- and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness." --George Washington

"Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in which all religions agree." --Thomas Jefferson

"It would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe." Washington continued: "No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency." --George Washington

You cannot change history to the way you want it, Atheistic...

I think you forgot your sarcasm tag.

Just because YOU the minority, doesn't want God in thier life, doesn't mean Us, the majority want God out of our life. We out number you and the law is on our side. Get over it.

Amendment 1 - CONGRESS SHALL NOT MAKE ANY LAW...

Just like Islamic fundamentalists we too have Christian Militants that would love to destroy innocent people in the middle east.

This requires a ZOT!

Name one Christian hellbent on killing innocent people?

By installing a bible, or the ten commandments in a state judicial setting we are saying that we believe that justice rests on the word of god - Our Laws are based on the Perception of God given morals. Laws are not made for the God fearing man, but those that do not head the Word of God, which not all people in America believe in. - No, but the majority of the people do...get over it.. When I go to a government office the last thing I want is someones religious beliefs crammed down my throught throat-1 sp - Name one public Government place religion was forced in your Throat. If a bible or the ten commandments are to be displayed, I think we shoud surround them with the Koran(the islamic "bible"), Darwins book Evolution of Species, and a relich from every other religion practiced in the world today. I am not telling you to not believe in god. I am saying that there is no evidence that proves that you are right and everyone else is wrong. - And what if we are right and you are wrong? Are 1 billion people in china supposed to burn in hell because they do not believe in god? - Yes, those that do not accept Jesus as Christ will suffer. God isn't the loving God people put Him to be. God does love us but he is a Just God, He will judge sin. But He provided a way for us to get to Him, reject that and you will be without God for eternity let's get serious. keep god and jesus away from government buildings and operations. - Why, what has it hurt since 1607 (Jamestown) till now? Our Government is based on Biblical principles. I sure hate to see your judgement on that day!
