Woody, the point is that Daniel and Moore both stood for their beliefs despite an official order not to. They engaged in civil disobedience when they felt the state crossed the line.

Since Moore had the right to put his artwork up in the lobby, and since no one would have cared if he'd put up a crucifix in a glass of urine or a painting of Jesus having sex with Mary Magdalene, THEREFORE when they cared that he put up a piece depicting the ten commandments and it's connections to American law, indicating that they were going to discriminate based on his religious views, then it's clear he had to yield to them or to God.

I disagree. The decree that Darius sent out was based on the jealousy of the other presidents of the land. They knew that Daniel was the favorite to Darius and could find no way to bump him off, so they tricked Darius into sending out the decree by working on his ego.

So how is this relevant to Moore?
