and religious monuments on public property.


the pharos were worshiped as gods .... tear em down?



ummmmm ... this too?



why stop there right?



and yes theres more right?



I can just imagine the results if your suggestion to remove religious monuments from public places were to become a globalist pursuit.

Ah yes Paul, I agree with you, but somehow you twist my statements to be ridiculous. I don't see any place in my post about destroying cultural icons. I was advocating separation of church and state. The state should not support any religion. Obviously there are many states around the world that do, but that just makes it harder on their people.

And as far as keeping religious symbols off of public property here in the US I was thinking more of a specific example here in Oklahoma. Several years ago a 10 commandments monument was placed on the capitol grounds. It was a donation and was installed with private money. However a suit was filed and this year the state supreme court ruled that it violated the state constitution. So it was removed to a different location. Of course when it was first placed there it kind of opened a can of worms. A satanic group asked for permission to place a satanic monument on the capitol grounds. As far as I can see they had every right to do so. If you are going to allow one religion to place a monument on public property you need to allow all religions to do so.

Things like school prayer and religious monuments on public property.


and that's why I only posted pictures of religious monuments
on public property.

I remember that and at the time I knew that the state would
and should remove it.

else they would need to annex the fairgrounds property to house
monuments from all of the thousands of religions.

LOL

did the satanist build their monument or were they simply
trying to make the same point that the us constitution made
perhaps trying to keep the state out of religion as it is supposed to be.

a state government consist of people , that work for the state.
the state buildings and state property are places where the people that work for the state occupy as they work.

a religion consist of people , that practice a religion.
the religious buildings and religious property are places where the people that practice a religion occupy as they
practice their religion.

so the people should not think of any government building or property as being a place where they might find a religious monument because the us constitution clearly defines the connection between religion and the government , even state governments are denied connection between religion and government by the us constitution as you have pointed out.

They showed plans for it, and after the state was ordered to remove the 10 commandments I think I saw a story that they were looking for some other place to put it.

they may not have been satanist at all then , they may have
simply figured that what they did was the best and quickest way to keep the state government out of religion.

and it worked.
did they find any eyes of newts or anything like that
scattered around the capital building grounds?

By the way, The pyramids are not religious items. They were built by Joseph for grain storage during the 7 fat years, so it would be available for the 7 lean years. I know this because Dr. Ben Carson has said so. Dr. Carson wants to be the President of the United States.

From what you say, he qualifies.
