I'm sure the poster is trying to make a point. My point is, who cares if there is a monument to Cthulhu? As long as no one is forcing me to bow before it, say prayers to it or something like that, I'd just walk right by it as I went up the steps. It would be meaningless to me.
If the 10 commandments are meaningless to you (or to anyone else), just walk right by the monument. Why get your panties in a twist about it?

Would you like quotes from the Koran on your drivers license?
Sound far fetched?
How about quotes from the Mormon leader Joseph Smith on your Utah auto license plates?
What if a majority of some minority in a town in New Jersey decides that calls for prayers for their particular religion will be broadcast from a loud speaker from the town hall, 4 times a day?
As I stated before, people were forced to join churches in Europe and in the pre-constitutional US - or be bannished or worse.
It's a slippery slope.
Yes, our nation was founded on Christain principals, but we are much more pluralistic now and people have a right to worship just about any way they like.
It may take years or even decades, but the use of State Propery to promote a particular set of religous principals will come back to bite us, Christains and all.
