“Before I boosted any Ten Commandments monuments, I’d boost a Cross.”
The Ten Commandments is coded law, which is what a court house represents.
The cross pertains to salvation.
(1) Courts don’t exist in vacuums. To presume they do is pride.
(2) Jesus said the law can be summed up in the first two commandments: Love the Lord thy God, and Love your neighbor as yourself. The Cross is love.
We have turned from salvation to pride, and we are now seeing (as from you) excuses for that too. God won’t brook it.
And in a sense, we can understand why the growing secular liberal bent of the judiciary when we view the issue in that light.
Civic minded people are looking for a safety valve and are beholding little or none in modern Christendom. So they have decreed that they’ll do it from the courts.
The answer is not to go back to Attila the Hun. The answer is to rediscover truly Christian answers. It used to be that the penitentiary really was intended for the penitent (repentant). In which there would always, always be a measure of grace, as well as the opportunity to progress. To yield to the common godless clamor for sheer revenge is, in fact, in the very face of Christ. We cannot be hypocrites ourselves. And if we do not like the way the secular liberal judiciary does it, then we should seek out the face of God to give us Christian answers.
