C'mon. Nobody's arguing that a stone symbol embodies America's faith. The point is that the Ten Commandments say things like, 'Don't murder', and 'Don't steal'. Nobody disagrees with the message of the tablets. They are being removed simply because they are Christian. If it was a Buddhist monk statue, or a statue of Artemis, there would be no conflict. But a Christian statue! We can't have that! Remove it now!
This is a fight for Christianity and the acknowledgement that God has had a part in the history of our nation. And, yes, God is part of our environment: the rivers, the mountains, the seas, the gorgeous sunset that I saw tonight over the Rockies by Colorado Springs...
I disagree. I think a replica of Buddha or any other figure representing another religion in the court house would draw all kinds of protests.
