Very true.Originally posted by obiwan18
The symbol of God does not equal God. Just as moving the symbol cannot confer God's blessings, neither does moving the symbol take them away.
But symbols can still be nice in some situations.
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

What was the problem with the monument? Why is it being removed? Did someone complain about it? It doesn't say in the Fox report.Comment

There's a whole lengthy thread on it - "the Alabama Supreme Court"
In short, it was installed after hours, someone sued, a Federal judge ordered it's removal on grounds of being an unconstitutional state endorsement of religion, the order was stayed during appeals, the appeals were lost, then the CJ of the Alabama Supreme Court announced he had no intention of complying with the removal order and issued an administrative directive to the building staff that the order to remove it was to be ignored. The other 8 justices of the Alabama Supreme Court countermanded the CJ's order, and said they'd comply with the Federal court's order to move it. It got moved, and that's what the guy in the video was yelling about.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired."

Does the US constitution forbid religious monuments?Originally posted by MichaeltheGreat

I thought it just said that people could worship whatever they liked (ie. freedom of religion)?

the problem is that the monument is inside the grounds of the court.

As a couple of people have already explained, there is a difference between a state government sponsoring a religion, and individuals being free to worship whichever religion they so choose.Originally posted by Rogan Josh

The U.S. government can't endorse a relgion, and having the monument displayed in the rotunda of a government building is tantamount to endorsing Judeo-Christian beliefs (which is what the judge intended).Originally posted by Rogan Josh

However, he also did not seek approval or go through any official channels to place the monument there--he just paid for it himself and had it delivered privately. If anyone thinks that's acceptable, I'm going to go drop all the furniture I don't want from my move on the steps of city hall and defy anyone to remove it.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Besides, why can't the US govt endorse a specific religion?Comment

This was inserted in the 1950s by right-wingers during the Communist scare. At the same time they inserted "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance. No, they shouldn't be there. But they are non-denominational statements, not endorsing any particular doctrine or dogma.Originally posted by Rogan Josh

Because it's in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers didn't want any religion being state-sanctioned for fear it would lead to much of the religious intolerance their forefathers had encountered in Europe.Besides, why can't the US govt endorse a specific religion?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
