supreme court and the ACLU
« on: September 05, 2003, 02:35:11 AM »
why is it unconstitional to have the ten commandments outside a courthouse? are they not good rules to live by? are they not laws that predate common law, which came before the constitution maybe the magna carta. but yet its ok to broadcast on two out of four channels that i get in the early morning with christian propaganda that says, if you dont give to this church those miserably poor people are going to be miserably poor. duh, they where that way to start out with and by the time you give to that church ten cents on the dollar you give may go to help them. just because its nonprofit dont mean somebodys not making money on the deal. to me this is noise polution. why should a rock bother people more than benny hinn pretending that he is a healer though Jesus? anybody got a god responce? here is a  link to some advice that a wise old man gave long http://www.abetterhope.com/hope/sayings.htmlago.

It isn't, Judge Moore is free to build a 50 ton ten commandments monument on his own property if he wants to.

But when he decided to use the powers of his office to put his religious monument inside the courthouse, he was in violation of the Constitution.
