Some guy drove his car into a stone monument carved with the Ten Commandments. He said all the keywords that say I am a looney but they sounded like keywords and really he's just an asshole. (CNN: Agents: The devil made him do it; 10 Commandments smashed)
Governor Mary Fallin said she would have the monument replaced. At issue is that it's on state property and is thus violating separation of church and state. I see some merit in moving the monument somewhere else as then Governor Mary Fallin might read what's on it. She's the same governor who presided over an execution that took thirty minutes or more and went on to authorize more after that. On that basis, I'd say, yah, move it somewhere she might pay attention to what's on it.
As to driving yer car into it, see above about he's an asshole. I think he's just a creep who's looking for a vacation home and doesn't mind putting up with some prison man love to get it.
Gandhi was once asked by the General in command of the British forces in India, "Do you think the British Army will simply march out of the country and leave?"
Gandhi replied, "That's exactly what I think you will do."
They did.
Smashing up the monument with the car was screwed-up. This is just some fool so boring he couldn't come up with a better way to get his name in the paper.
It doesn't count unless the monument is carried away by the same people who put it there and they do it because they no longer believe it should be there either.
I don't particularly care if they have it up there but if you do that then maybe it would be better to actually follow what's on it. There's nothing on there that asks all that much. It doesn't really ask you to do anything.
It shouldn't be such a terrible stretch for atheists to own it also as 'thou shalt hold no other god before me' is, in my view, non-specific. It could be the God of Thermodynamics for all the difference it makes to the logic if not the authority of what follows but the logic alone should be sufficient to warrant the authority.
The Ministry of the Internet doesn't have a problem with it so long as people aren't hammering it's this God or that God as the Ten Commandments work for just about anyone otherwise. Maybe a reminder of these things isn't so terrible ... so long as you put them somewhere Governor Mary Fallin will read them.
