Dobson, who has managed to worm his way onto the evening news for years, tries to hijack the reputation and nobility of the Civil Rights Movement for a church-subsidized artwork whose presence in the lobby of the Alabama Supreme Court benefitted no one - certainly not anyone in the other 49 states - and irritated some people who were compelled by circumstance to come to the courthouse. That artwork - essentially a massive church altar - could legally be put in a whole flock of places, but just not a govt building where some people are compelled to come in hoping for equal treatment regardless of religious affiliations.

Well said and worth repeating.
The idea that a 2 ton rock has to remain in a public building as some sort of symbolism of God remaining in power is so phony, it's almost idolatry.
I think these people are an embarrassment to Christianity and will drive more people from Christ than that representation of the 10 Commandments could ever convert.
Where in the Bible do we see Jesus or the apostles commanding that the 10 Commandments or scripture be publically displayed in Government buildings?

And the evidence that the State of Alabama did not provide that equal protection is...?

Dr. Dobson has done more good for people in a single day than you will probably do in your lifetime. Lay off him...and quit the Christian-bashing.
