Nevertheless, it is promotion of a religion, which you say is wrong. They must be removed.

There has to be some consideration of intent.

Are there any Supreme Court justices or employees who worship such Greek / Roman "gods" and put the statue there as a religious statement?

Is someone claiming their judicial powers derive from such Greek / Roman "god"?

Is anyone claiming Greek / Roman gods gave us laws that are the "highest law of the land"?

I think not.

Really? So we are to presume someone's intent? I don't see how that is possible. Even if they make a claim as to their intent, we can only have faith that they are being truthful.

I haven't done a poll. So the issue is, if they worship the God which everyone seems to be reminded of when they look at the monument/statue, that is when it becomes wrong? So if Moore was a Buddhist, this monument would be okay?

"Is anyone claiming Greek / Roman gods gave us laws that are the "highest law of the land"?

Many claim that our system of justice came from the Romans and the Greeks, and I know there are statues to both the Roman and Greek god/goddess of justice in a few courthouses around this land. I view that as the same thing.
