Satanic Monument At the State Capitol

[BadgeBunny]

i think that we ought to erect one of those big boy's characters on the lawn of the capital. A burger in one hand and to satisfy the fish eaters he can have a carp sandwich in the other hand.

hell yeah!!

Really?
Seriously?

I don't give a ##%#$ what they put up at the Capitol. I do care that a bunch of sociopaths in DC are dictating what we can do, however.

Seriously

I believe in and support the ENTIRE constitution, not just the parts that I like.

Well, good for you.

Here again is a good example of the minority whining to get their way. Just like a bunch of children.

Even if you're not a Christian, how the heck are the 10 Commandments offensive? I don't remember all of them, but seems like most of them are laws anyway. The only reason I can see them being offensive, are the people that are doing some of those 10 commandments. Right?
I'm sorry, but people need to get a life. Don't we have better things to do than get offended by 10 Commandments at the State Capital? Geez.

Who's saying their content is offensive? All I've read is that to deny other privately donated representations of faith from having equal display is offensive.

So, are the 10 Commandments strictly Christian then? No other religion would agree with them? Another words, Thou Shalt Not Kill, is only a Christian belief? No other religions would agree that is a pretty good Commandment?

Nope

Again, no one is arguing the content of the monument....

Are you saying there is no useful info to be gained from Islamic, pagan, Buddhist, Hindu, satanism, Shinto or any other teachings? Perhaps they also have universally accepted messages.

Well, considering they were given to Moses and the Jews, i'm guessing they are cool with them.

I'd agree that thou shalt not kill is a good thing, but some people would object to the notion that a divine being command them to do anything.

Also, to get to your earlier question, "I am the Lord thy God" and "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" are probably ones that not everyone can get behind.

All that said, do you really need a large stone version of 'thou shalt not kill' to be reminded that it's a bad thing to kill?
