How is looking at a nativity scene forcing you to become a Christian?
Does looking at a menorah force you to become Jewish?
It doesn't.
Why can't Atheists' put up their displays in another month of the year, instead of Christmas?
Our Government is about freedom for all, not exclusion for all.
The point is when PUBLIC money is used to fund a nativity scene - a very specific religious reference - things can get tricky. Why would a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Buddhist, or a Hindu want ANY of their tax dollars going to something Christian related?
How would you feel if you're a Muslim who has a court hearing for something and there's a baby Jesus setup outside the courthouse? Would you feel "equal"?
Best thing is simply to keep specific representations of religion out of gov't completely, I believe. There's MORE than enough private businesses spreading around the Christmas cheer I assure you.
Public money was not used in Florida.
Jesus is in the Koran.
"ALLAH is HE besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. HE has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and HE has sent down the Torah (Law of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guidance to the people; and HE has sent down the Discrimination (judgement between right and wrong)."Qur'an, Surah 3:3-4
Good point, but if Nativity scenes are allowed in a sort of commons area (is this like a park?) I believe that the board should also be willing to approve representations of other religions as well if private money is wanting to fund a giant Buddha statue or whatever.In the building I agree, what most of the issues I have revolve around are things like nativity displays, paid by private money, but ALLOWED in the commons being fought against by groups whose sole purpose is to demean the people trying to display thier holiday/religous spirit.
When it comes to the 10 commandments, one has to remember that they are not only religously significant, but part of the legal history of the world. How different would it be if a court referenced the code of Hannurabi, or the Code of Justinian? Both have legal historical value, but for some reason only the 10 commandments creates the butturt we see.
The satanic pigs should executed. No man, no problem.
It's appropriate to display the 10 Commandments because they formed the basis of our laws
Are we going to use Satanism as a new foundation for our judicial system?
This is really appropriate. Let one religion put their stuff up on government property.......open that door to all.
Okla. Satanists seek monument by Statehouse steps
Muslim objects should not be anywhere in America! The cult needs to go. Oh they said Satanic monument, I just assumed them ment Islam. Carry on!
The satanic pigs should executed. No man, no problem.
Execute people solely on the grounds they believe in something different than you? Not a great idea.
Hilarious. But if someone really wants to make a scene of it request to put up an islam display.
Then a pastafarian display.

I agree that putting the Ten Commandments up in front of a public facility is favoritism. I can understand the argument if (perhaps) the Ten Commandment slab was from 150 years ago (and is historically considered part of the building), but given it was just constructed recently I say they should be brought down immediately.
And I'm not saying that just because something is "historical" it justifies the whole thing, I'm just saying that there would be more of an argument to keep this monument up.

I didn't say the government should do it. Vigilante justice. Those people are pure scum, just as bad as Westboro. They'd receive no mercy from me.
There are obscenity laws fucko! A religion that follows and tenents are pure evil (similar to Islam's), fall within obscenity!
Also Christianity SHOULD be given prefential and SPECIAL treatment in this country. Our prinicipals were founded on Judeo-Christian teachings!
The Untied States was started as a Christian country, with biblical based values and laws. Were they followers of Satan this would make sense, but such is not the case.
There is no separation of Church and State anywhere in the founding documents. It took an activist "supreme court" to invent that.
Are you inferring that Supreme Court rulings hold no authority, and the Founding Fathers did not want the Constitution to be open to interpretation by properly elected officials? I don't understand your argument.
Sure, you can believe that an activist court "invented that", but what you think doesn't matter due to the fact you are not a properly elected Supreme Court Justice, lol.

How about sharing with the class your own fountain of knowledge, and tell us, what are the requirements to be a Supreme Court Justice?
lol

Well, let's just say I've seen what those bastards are capable of firsthand but that is another story. A lot of the stuff you've heard about those Lucifer lovers is actually true.

Aren't they appointed by the President and serve for life?

Really?
What laws demand that all citizens only worship one God?
What laws demand that there be no idols worshipped?
What laws make it illegal to lie?
What laws demand children honor their parents?
What laws make it illegal to want what your neighbor has?
What laws make it illegal to use God's name in vain?
What laws force citizens to keep the Sabbath holy?
