The 10 Commandments and Alabama

Personally, I dont see what everyone is so angry about why the 10 amendments. Its not like the judge was saying, you have to believe in Jesus or in God. Most of the 10 commandments can be found in our laws. Legally, with the precedent set by the 1962 decision to take prayer out of school with by saying that it falls under separation of church and state, the state had the legal right to remove the statue.

I think alot of people have a problem with this statue because unlike most religions, Christianity is offending because the central teaching is that Jesus is the only way to the God. That offends because in most religions there are multiple ways to the Lord but there is only one way with Jesus. People like to forget it and get rid of all reminders of it. So I'm not surprised by the state of Alabama moving the statue and I expect to see more lawsuits and decisions with the intent to move any and all references to Christianity.

Hmmm, you may be on to something!
