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.

Get real. Do you really think that anyone who saw that monument for one moment thought about converting to either Judaism or Christianity? It was just a monument to the 10 commandments, nothing more, nothing less.

More importantly, if it had been a 6 foot tall cylindrical monument celebrating homosexuals in the law, it would be standing there today and anyone who complained about it would be a "hatemonger."

Shalom.

Not about converting, just whether the judges (or even one of the judges) would treat them fairly even if their religion did not use Judge Moore's version of the Ten Commandments.

One fact which has been overlooked is that the Ten Commandments differ, in numbering and sequence, between Christians and Jews, between Catholics and Protestants, and even between various Protestant denominations. So Judge Moore's monument differs from most of the religions that revere the Ten Commandments because it perpetuates the order and numbering adhered to by only some religions.

So far, anyone who's had a difference of opinion on that monument and posted their thoughts on why, has been labeled a "God hater", anti-American, a ACLU-type, and worse...tell me the difference between that, and what you detailed in your post.
