Would you say that if it was a monument to another religion, maybe a satanic monument.
There was no reason for this display, it accomplished nothing and does not belong on government property. Oklahoma violated their own constitution by placing religious statues on public property, it is quite clear but the thread continues.
Why was it so important to place this on government property rather than private, even churches, mosques and synagogues use more moderation in general but here we have a religious monument on public display
Does the ten commandment monument hurt anybody?
Then answer my question
Must come down, MUST? Really?
Man, talking about fake outrage. You need to find a hobby.
You can argue all you want, you can argue all day long. You cannot give ONE SINGLE VALID reason why it MUST come down. key word: MUST.
Why? Aren't you capable of making sense on your own.
Because there is Bigger picture than what is seen by the average man and woman. I have no problem cutting thru the issues of the day. Christians have Spirit to make things good even if there are those who ridicule.
Again hope the Citizens of Ok can counter this ruling. God is a powerful force to be reckon with. There has been many a Roman Emperor has tried.
Would putting Sharia Law hurt anybody?
Would putting verses from Bhagvad Gita hurt anybody?
Would atheistic quotes from someone hurt anybody?
Would a statue of Goat God hurt anybody?
You want your ways to be accepted? Learn to accept others'.

How do you know that I don't accept others?!
This thread is about ten commandments monument, no?
If you want to talk about sharia law monument, start your own thread, then I would commend accordingly. Meanwhile, stay with the topic. Thank you
Question to you is: Ten commandment monument MUST come down. Why must?

The premise of this thread is based on secular state. On that ground, if ALL religions and atheists can't be represented on same grounds, there is no reason for ten commandments to stay. Either all religion, and atheism, are allowed, or none. No hypocrisy.
Don't worry about it. You need to help self (or seek help).
I can list good and bad from every religion. Have you tried that? You are simply unaware that not everybody cares for what you consider to be "good". You step beyond your personal boundaries and you will just have to deal with what comes back at you.
There is no shortage of people who chant the loudest, while being guilty. Regardless, your religion can dictate the beliefs/religions of others as much as you're willing to allow theirs.
Religious fanatics are ALWAYS a liberal problem. This is why liberals are also a problem to these fanatics... be it Iraq, India, Pakistan, Myanmar or the good old USA.

Why are so offended by a stone table that offers nothing but good and remind people of a greater good. Common sense Christians are around you everyday and we do have our inner peace.
Something that you seem to be struggling with?
There is nothing Radical about the 10 commandments. think of it as a outline on how to deal with everyday problems. Most modern Christians are very level headed folks who do not take Religion to extreme like in Radical Islam. (which is not from God)

Now we are talking. This is valid point.
The 7-2 ruling overturns a decision by a district court judge who determined the monument could stay. It is controversial.
Attorney General Scott Pruitt had argued that the monument was historical in nature and nearly identical to a Texas monument that was found constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I think Scott Pruitt made a very valid point.
Ditto, Good point and Ok. return to court on this ruling from Texas. Hit the nail on the head, Bravo!

Go Ok! Fight your rights!
Radicals are into chaos, and always about "my religion is perfect, yours is a sham". You and many others illustrate that effortlessly. All you have to do is, open your mouth, and a load drops. You do disservice to the religion you think you're helping.
And no, ten commandments is crap load of BS for non-Christians. Heck, even Jews and Muslims have their own versions of the same. If you can't handle teachings from other religions, you have no right to force others into dealing with your nuisance.

What greater good? There is nothing sane, logical, or good about the ten commandments.
Why would any sane person believe this nonsense?
1 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” ...... Punishment for disobeying... “And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heavens, which I have not commanded. Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing and shalt stone them with stones, till they die”. Deuteronomy 13:6-10.
2 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."......Punishment for disobeying....“Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image.” Deuteronomy 27: 1 5
3 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain” ......Punishment for disobeying.....“And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death” Leviticus 24:16
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”.....Punishment for disobeying....“Whosoever shall work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death”. Exodus 31:15
5 “Honour thy father and thy mother”.....Punishment for disobeying..... “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death”. Exodus 21:17
6 “Thou shalt not kill”......How ironic that after god's commands to kill people who disobey four of the five commandments above you are now not allowed to kill...How can one kill, but not kill?
7 “Thou shalt not commit adultery”...... “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death”. Leviticus 20:10
That's it....Too much killing for me....
