I just think you're not being honest when you claim that this is all about legal heritage and that it's somehow just as Muslim and Jewish as it is Christian.

I think if we're really honest we can acknowledge that the people defending the presence of the ten commandments and the ones claiming it should be the only monument are a majority Christian group. In fact it's probably the same assholes that get offended when someone at target tells them happy holidays instead of merry Christmas.

No idea. I just think his name is funny.

Oh, make no mistake, I keenly understand the nature of the Ten Commandments thing. If you read my posts here, you might find them less intellectually dishonest than you suspect. My point is religion is NOT a disqualifier. In this case, regardless of who forwards the request, the TCs have no exclusivity to one faith. Nor do they have exclusivity from the law.

To attack their display on a religious basis is silly. To attempt forced inclusion of elements noncontributory to our laws, and of one specific faith, based on presence of the TCs is a nutty proposition forwarded by nutty people.

Personally I don't care if someone wants to put the 10 commandments in front of a state building. But they probably shouldn't freak out when another religion wants to put their shite there

So as an Collective/State expression of the PRINCIPLES of the which a particular Religion espouses...all principles should be given equal support by our Collective?

Pman...did you mama and dad tell you that thievery, murder, marital disloyalty, lying (general principles) just really don't matter? That they are all equal for your perusal and choice?

So, the State espousing/promoting that the Principles of Jesus and the Principles of Satan (as historically defined) are EQUAL? And that the consequences of 'worshiping' those principles will be equal too?

Here it is. "Behold, there is a way that SEEMETH RIGHT unto man, but the end thereof is destruction". (Biblical) Watch and see and learn.

Basically what he's saying is that if it was the first major religion in our country, it's foolish to attack it. Even though it's obvious if any other religion's doctrine were set in stone there people would have a cow.

Around and around we go

No! It is not supposed to be about judeo christian heritage.

This isnt about the commandments monument as laws or a class of law

It is EXACTLY about that.

this is about a monument focusing on religion and oklahomas supposed judeochristian heritage

No matter how many times you say it, it's just not true.

It is not a rendering of the crucifixion. It is not a rendering of Noah's Ark. It is not a rendering of Abraham. It is a representation of the ancient basis of our law.

I realize you have seniority over me here on TD, so people here will likely defend you and your statements over my own, but did they happen to not teach grammar and spelling at your Oklahoma public school?

The person you were responding to likely has evidence based on the fact that OK is roughly 94% Christian, and the fact that over 75% of the American Indian population in that state adheres to mainline Protestantism.

Sure, many syncretize indigenous pagan traditions with their Judeo-Christian beliefs, but the same can be said about the Celtic Christians of Ireland and Scotland and the Hellenic Greco Orthodox Christians of Greece (e.g., Celtic Druid paganism assimilated into Catholicism and Presbyterianism and Greek Paganism/Hellenic traditions assimilated into the Greek Orthodox Christian Church, etc.).

Believe it or not, this is not all that uncommon throughout the world.

Bwahahahaha! SURE!

I dont have a problem or issue with other religions vying for their space. What I do have a problem with is New Yorkers want to put this up in Oklahoma.

Why not allow the people of Oklahoma to decide what they want in their public places?

Why dont we start protesting the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center?
