Ten Commandments

[Jaimecbr900]

There really is no compromise in this situation. Just b/c the display doesn't bother you doesn't mean it won't bother 25 other Americans. Should their concerns be ignored? Should they have to endure staring at their version of the "400 pound man?"

There is no compromise because the left is the loud squeaky wheel.

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.

The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Everything in the Constitution is up for interpretation...just like the Bible. I won't argue that b/c I'd be here all day.

The Georgia State Motto and Crest both say that "Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation" Where is the Moderation in fighting over inanimate objects that DO nothing?

How are words inscribed in a rock establishing a religion anymore than words written in a book? Law books, Constitutions, and Sentences often refer to "God" and "soul" and "heaven" and "hell" and many other biblical references. WHY aren't you guys up in arms about that? Why not just get to book burning those law books and state Constitutions which merely MENTION there is a GOD????

Like I said before, there has to always be a beginning and an end. Perpetual only belongs to references of heaven and hell, which I know you don't believe in. Point is that somewhere someone has to say enough is enough. For over 200 years the same words have adorned many hallways throughtout the entire U.S.A. How come all of a sudden in the last few years has there been any contention as to it's validity under the "law"????

The truly ironic thing is that in order to argue a relatively new argument the detractors use one of the OLDEST Constitutional ideas known to man....."the separation of church and state"......although not one person yet has proven WHY our fore fathers would litter their documents with the word "GOD" yet now all of a sudden everyone THINKS they meant we have to have a Godless Nation.....

We all pick and choose are battles with how the government abuses its powers. I'm sure there are things that get under your skin. But should it be swept under the rug? Your voice should just as loud as the voice of 200,000 Americans. If you wanted to take action b/c the city of Atlanta is paying $125,000 in fines every month for polluting the Chattahoochee.....I'd support you. I expect all Americans to blow the whistle on government fraud. Will it make a difference? LOL...probably not. But we all still have to try. We can't just look away and hope it blows over.




We have to fight for what believe no matter how trivial. But we are creating a huge divide in this country during the process. I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.

Why is that you condemn the "Christians" for protesting, yet right here you say we all MUST???? Can't have it both ways.

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?

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.

Your admiration shines ever so brightly.


BTW, Sibsr20 I'd like to see a copy of your paper when it's complete. I spent way too much time in there today.
