In favor of moving. Too close for sanity.

9. It's still in the public building, is it not? |
|
It is still unlawful...even if they put it in the basement.

12. It is still in the building |
|
but in a private room, not accessable by the public, which was a temporary plan approved by the courts until its fate could be decided. I suppose if Moore wanted it moved to his office and it may be legal to have a private monument in a private office - no different than hanging the decalog on your office wall. Hopefully, he won't have an office for long (crossing fingers).

I believe this stone monumnet is a testament to a prohibition within the ten commandments, towhit the second commandment: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image".
To me, Judge Roy Moore and his followers are idolators.

being against all that is written in the New and Old Testaments.

Quote >>I believe this stone monumnet is a testament to a prohibition >>within the ten commandments, towhit the second commandment: "Thou >>shalt not make unto thee any graven image".
If I may turn your attention to the words "unto thee" which to me means to, of, about yourselves.. meaning a worldy image...
I think it's along the same lines as the bit about worhsipping fals idols..
Like if there was a golden calf or something...
Having said that, the court order came down... I think they should've taken the monument down because of that.
Seperation of church and state, and the argument to take the monument down is a valid opinion, I cenrtainly have no problems with anyone who believes that.
Personally, I don't have a problem with the momument being there for a couple reasons.
I don't live in Alabama, therefore it's less my concern than it is someone in Alabama.
I don't think that any judge in that courthouse is going to change his ruling because of what's in the hall... I don't really see it as a contradictions between sep. of church and state. When you start legislating by religion, that's where I have a problem.
I just see it as a stone monument, I don't see whay the response is quite so rabid to get rid of the monument.. I guess my view is that It's just sitting there, it's not hurting anyone.. it's a piece of concrete.

21. Well you can say that about a lot of statues and other monuments, but |
|
that does not mean they don't convey powerful messaages to humans about many diferent things. That is why they have been a form of communication for many, many years.

How can half of the voters say it's OK to ignore the court's decision about this religious symbol? Who are these voters?
