if the supreme courts of the USA and his own state ruled against him and his statue, it means it IS UNconstitutional...

No it doesnt. It means the Alabama SC is a bunch of federal lackies. Also, the SCOTUS didnt rule against him, they denied his stay to block the removal.

And your long winded reply still doesnt answer my question.

I dont think the USA is a "Christian nation". I think it has turned into a cesspool of moral ineptitude. I dont demand this monument be placed there but I do think Moore has every right to place this monument that is visible in hundreds of federal sites, in his courthouse.

I agree.
BTW, the fact that the wages of sin is death doesn't change as a function of who believes it or doesn't.
These United States of America tried a bold new experiment in the 60s, pulling the plug on all time-honored traditions. We secularized everything, starting with the public sector but spreading quickly to the private sector.
Welfare best represents this movement. Previously the churches were the mainstay of charity. Welfare brought poverty into the governmental and secular domain and it made us all a lot poorer. Here is what happened 30 years after the War on Poverty:
- - illegitimacy increased by 500% (See Paul Gigot, Wall Street Journal, March 15, 1999)
- - divorce increased by 250% (See: "Welfare Reform and a More Civil Society: Fathers and Faith as Community Building Blocks," Hudson Institute, 1990
- -violent crime rose 600% (Ibid).
- -and the number of families without fathers increased from 17% to 38% (up to 90% in inner cities) (Ibid).
- -Child abuse rose 2,300% (US DHHS)
- -illegal drug use rose 6,000% (National Inst on Drug Abuse).
--education outcomes in America sank to last place (49th) in the industrial world even as we outspent every other nation per child. (See the book "Kids Who Kill" by Mike Huckabee)
That's just the American story of the experiment. There's a great book on the international social experiment to destroy traditions: The Black Book of Communism by Stephane Courtois et al. Among other interesting tidbits, the book shows that almost 100 million civilians were killed to feed the monstrous beast of atheistic communism.
There is something about believing that God is watching that helps keep people in line.
