    Since when do words on a piece paper, plaque, or better yet ROCK jump up and DO anything to anyone?

    Again, if you are offended by words out in a parking lot, then A: you have too much time on your hands, B: you have too much time on your hands, or C: have nothing better to bitch about.

    A 400 lb man can walk and follow you and get in your way and MAKE himself a nuisance. A bunch of words on a plaque or a rock CAN'T. There's a difference IMO.


    Everything you just said is indicative of your own personal beliefs. Why should it negate my views? In essence you are saying that people who don't want the commandments publicly displayed should just grin and bear it? It's unfair for us to dictate what should or should not bother someone else. We just have to respect that it does. Unfortunately, you were right about being more tolerant. But I suspect that's not the American way.

    True.

    Try as I might, it's obvious I'll never be able to accomplish that.

    Just like we have to grin and bear many things that don't agree with our point of view. What's the difference? It's not a live preacher thumping a bible for GOD's sake. It's a plaque that you can easily and w/o any effort turn and go the other way from. What's the big deal? Noone has ever answered that question.....what's the big deal?

    I have to agree with you there.
