You as much as admitted its a state/federal issue yet you are against the display of the monument.

Right. I think it's the state's right to decide - the fed should have no say. And I also think that no government at any level should promote or hinder religion. The two beliefs are not mutually exclusive.

Which word do you speak of?

In this case, the Commandments.

And which law has been made that is spreading it?

It isn't a law per se, its an administrative decision.

BTW, care to answer the question on state's rights concerning assisted suicide?

What you think should be isnt fact. Constitution speaks of legislation.

That isnt a religion.

It isn't a law per se, its an administrative decision.

An administrative decision forcing Alabama citizens to believe in the Commandments (or, presumably by you, Christianity)? I missed that one.

BTW, care to answer the question on state's rights concerning assisted suicide?

Its assisted murder. Naturally, the person killing themselves has every right, in a physical sense, to kill themselves but to consciously help someone else? There is moral implications.

No one is saying you dont have the right to kill yourself...the issue is do you have the right to help someone kill themselves. In my opinion, the subject is MUCH more difficult to debate than this case about the 10 Commandments rock.
