"godless athesist - why do you have the right to put your religion in place of others religion? You need to get your godless religion to your private property.

Remember, what you do privately is your business but public funds should not be required to pay for it, public places should not have to promote your religion.

So, get out of public buildings the same as you expect others to do.
"

Actually, there are no symbols for atheism, so there's nothing in the courtroom to symbolize it. I'm not putting anything having do to with atheism anywhere. I'm not in a position of authority to do anything of the sort. I'm just me, you see.

A monument to the Old Testament 10 Commandments is something quite different. It is a direct symbol of two religions, Judaism and Christianity. I didn't put it there, nor would I. I have nothing to put anywhere.

This question is moot, really, since the entire court in Alabama says that Moore's gotta get rid of this thing. My suggestion is that he put it on his front lawn. He's the one who likes it.

What relligion was Moses when he recieved the tablets? If I remember correctly, he was brought up Egyptian!

Judaism didn't get quite established until the levitical law...way after the 10 commandments. Just because the Christians and Jews use these commandments, don't think that these are the only ones...besides, Muslims honor them, so do Buddists and other religions because of thier moral attributes.

Name one religion it promotes placing the monument in the Court!
