You would never expect that from a state where Obama didn't even win a single county. Goes to show what happens when we let judges become tyrants.

While judicial activism is one of my least favorite things, I am not finding much fault with this ruling.

If anything, judges pushing religious monuments are the activists. Look at that dunce Roy Moore and tell me he's not the epitome of a judicial activist.

Or his son, who was paid six figures to be on the board of a 'Christian values' non-profit, while tweeting about 'getting fat stacks from dad' and 'hanging out with my ni**as'.

Be specific: taken down from government property in Oklahoma. The 10 Commandments contain some universal moral truths, and some theology.
this is not a theocracy, despite what the protestant fundamentalists demand.

How about this one? Mockery of the Iwo Jima flag raising moment.

It's a state capital building. We are not a theocracy.

The separation of Chruch and State is pretty clearly outlined in the Constitution.
It's a shame you don't know the Constitution and only spout off things you've always heard. Congress cannot establish religion or prohibit the free exercise of religion.

Why does this offend you? Does this offend you as well?

It could be very easily argued that having a religious symbol on state grounds is equivalent to the establishment of religion.

Birmingham had them beat decades ago...and ours is in front of a church.

"Separation of church and state" (sometimes "wall of separation between church and state") is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Since the First Amendment clearly places the restrictions solely on the state, some argue a more correct phrase would be the "separation of state FROM church". Either way, the "separation" phrase has since been repeatedly used by the Supreme Court of the United States.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that and Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." The modern concept of a wholly secular government is sometimes credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, but the phrase "separation of church and state" in this context is generally traced to a January 1, 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper.

That is awful and really minimizes the sacrifices the loss of life that occurred on Iwo Jima. But, it has nothing to do with the separation of church and state.
What is crazy to me, is that the decision to make gay marriage legal is actually one of the most conservative decisions the court has made in years. A small minority of the population has been denied the rights afforded to the majority by the states in which they reside. It is the absolute right thing to do and a truly conservative ruling.

There are a good deal of reasons to be concerned - the lack of a religious monument on the grounds of the state capitol in Oklahoma are not among them.
Anything with values and God is being attacked by miserable humans, that have an agenda, for no reason other than to be miserable.
Values and Honor made this Country great and the fiber, of what made America strong, is being demolished by idiots.

The Abrahamic God and moral values are not inextricably linked, for the record.

This 10 Commandments monument in question has been on the OK Supreme Court grounds since 2012, all of three years (if that), yet you make it sound like people are tearing down the Statue of Liberty.
