What an absolute goon. Everybody lies in testimony anyway? You haven't been in court very much, if at all.
You miss the whole point and arguing a straw man. The monument does not express his particular beliefs, but has a historical significance in that the it is the legal foundation of modern law. Don't steal, don't murder, don't bear false witness, all codified in modern law in most civilized countries. We pay homage to the Constitution, and the Magna Charte, Moore was paying homage to something similar. The fact that it has a dual identity, one legal and spiritual, does nothing to diminish its importance in the western world's legal tradition.
