Ah, that should be praying out of doors, not preaching.

Anyway, those who would permeate the government with their religious symbolism are indeed using taxpayer money to further their cause. Those ten commandment monuments don’t create themselves.

Those ten commandment monuments are well over a hundred years old and far more valuable than most of the junk the secular humanists and progressives litter our public buildings and property with. Seen the “art” at your local public library lately? One more thing. 86% of the United States population are taxpaying ‘Christians.’ What this means is that most of the money collected is collected from those you hate. If you are going to take my money then I want it back and I want to use it how I see fit without your rules and regulations attached to it and I certainly don’t want some group of simpletons telling me that I must give up my constitutionally protected freedoms in order get my tax dollars back.

"Anyway, those who would permeate the government with their religious symbolism are indeed using taxpayer money to further their cause. Those ten commandment monuments don’t create themselves."

I disagree. Most of the monuments you describe are created using donations, not taxpayer money. As an example:

I was present at the unveiling of the American Heritage Foundation Rock in our county administration building. If you want to see how to legally display the 10 Commandments on government property, you may want to check out this LINK. This was installed on Sept. 11, 2003, (after the Judge Roy Moore problem), with a parking lot full of TV satellite trucks, reporters crawling over each other and overflow attendance. Yes, the ACLU was there, threatening to sue but there wasn't a peep out of them or the media because it can be done legally. Notice the donor names along the bottom.
