Obviously further proof of the prosecution of the christians in this once great christian nation!
/sarc off.
For those that are against this ruling, would you be okay with any other religions monument on state capital grounds?
Just to keep things current, what would the outrage be if it was a muslim monument?
I was under the impression that the 10 Commandments are from the Old Testament which is a cornerstone of Islam, Judaism and Christianity - therefore it's as much a Muslim/Jewish monument as it is a Christian one.
I'm fine with the pledge, so long as the pledge is to the nation itself, and not any one person or political ideology within that nation.

To be honest, the pledge should be removed altogether. Forcing children to recite a pledge to their country every day in school is political brainwashing.

Show me a Square and Compasses on a public school and the context.

I could get behind that movement.

Before the Supreme Court rules on any display of the Ten Commandments, they'd have to chisel them off their own building first.
Hysterical liberals are entertaining.

Basically 1-4 are too Christian based for non-Christians:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
I'm down with the no killing, no stealing, & no lying ones. Those "don't covet" ones are confusing. And honoring your parents is optional...depending on your parents.
Also, as an atheist, I find any commands coming from (what I believe to be) an imaginary being to be quite ridiculous. But to each his/her own.
