I don't see the problem here. Some people might be offended by the display of these few chosen words, but then some others might be offended by gay men kissing in public. I say to both groups, "Don't look... go back in your home... and kill yourself if you're so worried about seeing something in life you dislike." "Life IS pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something." -The Dread Pirate Roberts "The Princess Bride" "I did something naughty again..."    Report

If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.    Report

I also beleive the rules of other faiths should be displayed as well. "Do as thou wilt, harm none." One simple rule right there. No need for nine more.  "I did something naughty again..."    Report

I forgot though.  Clue me in on something, anyone.  Where in our constitution does it say we have to have a separation of church and state?  Just curious. Secondly, if the community with which this courthouse resides wished the commandments to be there, who is anyone to ask for their removal?    Report

I've always beleived in that aspect: A community's right to decide it's own identity and morality. There will always be the few who come up there and do not feel happy with the way it is. They will be free to move somewhere else when the time comes. The separation thing... I'm sure these guys know. But here is a comprehensive essay. Written into the intent of the First Amendment or not, it is a quality principal that needs cultivating. Each should be protected from the other. The church this author means is obviously Christian. The separation exists to protest the pagans from a Christian State, The Buddhists from a Jewish state, and the Christians from an Atheist state... And every combination therof. As such... EVERY church should respect that principal. The largest reason for churches to get involved is money. Capitalism is a church value as well. It's all about the numbers. No members... No tithings. No people chosing those principals... No members. Take away the choice of principals on the state level and people begin to flock toward the control point. It's either much more complicated or simple than that but that's the Bleeder's Digest Convulsed Version. "I did something naughty again..."    Report
