monument.... that in no way indicates a minority. Can't you see how this is

we don't seem to have the religious zealots in the numbers you have in the
USA.

Weather you claim that it is representative or not... your own media is
doing more to damage your image than you seem to understand. Other countries
will look at this and see little difference between the Christian Fanatics
and the Muslim Fanatics.

Mooron,
Those people are hardly representative of the religious people of the USA.
They, also, are fanatics in their own way.

The census figures for religions in 1989 we
Religions: Protestant 56%, Roman Catholic 28%, Jewish 2%, other 4%, none 10%

Protestant incorporates many different religions, some "catholic" in their
viewpoints (Episcopalian, Lutheran, etc) and then there are the Calvinists
(Presbyterians, Reformed, etc.), and then you have the Baptists and
Methodists and Congregationalists, which are all pretty mainstream. And then
you have the fundamentalists. Isn't it funny, that whenever you see the
word fundamentalist, you can almost always also use the word fanatic? These
people are a small percentage of the religious community, but they shout
loud, shake fist harder, and bully their way through to make their point,
which is unassailable (according to their tenants). There are more
Catholics in the USA then any one other religion. Did you see them out
there sitting on the stone? They didn't. And neither did most of the
Protestants. Stop making over generalizations about loudmouthed boors that
try to foist their ideas and their holy righteousness on everyone else in
the name of God, democracy, and union. Religion really has nothing to do
with this issue at all. These people haven't yet realized that if you
cannot keep the law un your heart, you cannot keep the law in your life.

Hey Mooron,

We can't help how other people view us. That really isn't your problem,
is it?

Genius has no limits.... only an idiot would assume it does... quit acting

CM

Mooron,

That's not my Quote, it is the statement of ole Albert himself that you
are calling an idiot.

I can see that you are acting completely without limits, which does
leave me with little choice for a conclusion. I do believe I'll choice
Albert Einstien, rather than a "Mooron" :^) Sorry

Ole Thom

Ironically the ten commandments belonged to the Jews, so this would be a
Jewish religious monument.

No ... your supposed right to free speech and superior ethics forced your

words into practice.

No that's right... they just teach their kids it's okay to bring guns to
school and kill their classmates, that it's just another day when someone
gets fired and returns to take vengeance, that the government can go into
places and set up training centers like the School of the Americas to train
terrorists, or use trade leverage to rape other countries of their
resources, or supply Israel with cash and weapons to hold a piece of land
they couldn't possibly keep without interference, or to snub the world and
start a war on fabricated evidence. When terrorism is done to people you
consider opponents.. you label the aggressors as "Freedom Fighters" and
supply them with the weapons. Oh yeah you guys are just so friggin'
superior! NOT! You are responsible for some of the worst atrocities and
terrorism on the planet.
