Where does it state it was erected illegally?

It's a religious statue on public property. D'uh.

Why is that illegal? There are religious symbols and bible verses all
over the federal buildings in DC. You better load up the old Yugo and
get to work.
I wonder how long it would take until the cops arrested you?

I guess I should just grimace and giggle at religious expressionism on
public buildings and on public property and suchlike. "In god we
trust..." Right, because we can trust god to prevent WWII, 9-11, Ebola,
polio, and hatemongers like Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh.

Then why can't you " just grimace and giggle" when you see a rock that
says you shouldn't **** around on your wife, lie, steal and murder
people?

I'm not psychotic, so I don't see rocks like that. I would not, however,
want to see a human-carved stone tablet with the Big Ten erected on
public property, though I am aware such transgressions exist.

Obviously, you are a believer in religious claptrap. Please let me know
when your god prevents another war, another famine, another disease,
another massive terrorist attack.

I don't really have a god but I do not feel it necessary to **** on
people who do. That is a "liberal" trait (perhaps one of the most
misused words in our common lexicon).
You guys are only liberal about the causes you believe in and
everything else is simply a target for your hatred..

Linking this with the other subject we are discussing, I would point
out that "liberals" love democracy, until it results in a decision
they disagree with and then they want the heavy thumb of government on
the scale.
If put to a vote, how many people in Oklahoma would vote FOR the
monument?
For that matter how many people in Calvert county would vote the same
way?

What matters is that there is supposed to be a separation of church and
state in this country, and the Okie 10 statue violates that. I don't give
a damn what "religious people" erect in their houses, their churches, or
their church schools. A local Catholic church erects about 500 tiny
crosses each year on its lawn at election time to protest against the
abortion of fetuses. It's on their property, so I just snicker at it when
I drive by. If it were on public property, I'd get involved in a campaign
to remove the display.

Where does the constitution say there will be " separation of church and
state"?
