True.

Why should it negate my views?
Try as I might, it's obvious I'll never be able to accomplish that.


In essence you are saying that people who don't want the commandments publicly displayed should just grin and bear it?
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?


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.
I have to agree with you there.
