As a nation of Christians, why can't we worship our God as se see fit?

Do you have to put a rock in a courthouse to worship God?

Who says you can't worship God as you see fit, as long as you don't use the government to advocate the worship?

My government -- and yours too if you are an American citizen -- was founded upon Christian-Judeo principles and the morals and ethics inherent in the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments and God have a place everywhere. It is not like people are forced to bow down on their knees and kiss the pavement or the rocks or the plaques, is it? If people don't like it, then don't freakin' look. I haver to hide my eyes when I am on the Internet and when I am watching the television. There are many things that I don't want to participate in that I come up against and have to turn the other way. Everyone should just deal with it like the rest of us have to.

The people of Alabama -- you know "the people" who are REPRESENTED by the lawmakers and judges there -- support Judge Moore. That says it all.

For crying out loud, crazy people around me want to accommodate the religion of Islam and even potential terrorists more than Judeo-Christians. What is it: hate Jews and hate Christians? I am growing very weary of this and somethings gotta give. It is all in the Judeo-Christian Bible though. It is playing out nicely I guess.

The Ten Commandments are getting lots of press. I can foresee many threads and posts regarding this issue.

Who says you can't worship God as you see fit, as long as you don't use the government to advocate the worship?

Good point, but some questions:

Does placing the statue in the rotonda of a court house advocate or establish a particular religion?

Yes?

If it does in fact advocate or establish a religion, which religion is it (Christian, Jew or Muslim)? All revere the 10 Commandments.

If it is "X" religion that is advocated or established, how will the "government" insure that you or I practice it? (If Muslim,...well nevermind, we're still armed). Sorry for so many questions, but...

Why do you think the statue has caused so much of an uproar? I see statues, paintings, sculptures, movies, magazines, etc. all the time that creep me out or offend, but never would I think to try and remove them/it. Maybe I'm just to easy going.
