The anti-religious loons of the Freedom From Religion Foundation are at it again, this time focusing their litigious weaponry at a Pennsylvania school’s Ten Commandments display.
Honestly, if that was the extent of their opposition, I probably wouldn’t feel the need to write about it. The display is large, a six-foot tall structure made of stone, and a FFRF press release claims it is displayed “near the main entrance by the Junior High auditorium.” If the group’s complaint that the monument “lacks any secular purpose” is accurate, the display likely violates the law.
Whether conservatives agree with it or not, even a monument such as this, which has been at the school for more than half a century, is subject to complaints by secular and atheist groups.
What makes this particular case even more nauseating, though, is the FFRF doesn’t even want the Ten Commandments to be displayed at a nearby church!
The church offered to take the historic monument, keeping it in the same neighborhood of the small town. An attorney working with the atheist group said students “cannot avoid” the Ten Commandments if displayed at the adjacent, privately-owned church.
Even the FFRF press release admits the organization does not have public support on its side. The school board decided to table the issue after “at least two rallies were held in favor of keeping the monument and intense public pressure” mounted against the decision.
Reports indicate an atheist parent of one of the school’s students is behind the FFRF’s interest in the case, claiming the monument excludes those without faith in God. I wonder if this individual would be satisfied with an empty space in the hall serving as a monument to nothing, thus including his or her belief system.

An old battlefield axiom: “There aren’t any athiests to be found in a foxhole”. I say they all can enjoy one of the freedoms/liberties remaining…LEAVE NOW and leave the rest of us alone!
I say you are right, but will add if they keep pushing God’s people, they may see a side of Christians that they do not want to see. It may be that they have the mistaken idea that we are a people who wil allow bullies to push us around. These people are pulling the tail of a sleeping lion. Not wise. Not wise at all.
America needs to wake up – this is a small minority and I for one am tired of listening to them. We need to quit giving anything they say press or credence. We need to ignore them and the Judges they have bought. There is not much they or the judges can do if we simply ignore them and say no. They cannot do anything unless we let them – their paid for judges are not going to get a shovel and dig up these things; they are just going to threaten somebody who will listen. Refuse to listen to these people and simply say NO! If the people of America want their country back then they need to quit listening to people like this. Tell them – this is our monument, we like it, we are keeping it, and go f@ck yourself.
Just a few words these people, Sit Down and Shut UP. For the ones that won`t shut up a little atititude adjustment out back will straighten them right out.
Vicking, you have a good point. The Skull Splitter Viking decendents would be in agreement. Many of whom have decendents who are now Christian. These people do not really know who they are messing with. We have many who have a daily walk and are kind, but that has it’s limits for we are all human. We should do to others as we would have them do to us, however we do not always do that, and we can try to turn our cheeks, and in a lot of instances this will happen, but as I said, it not a sure thing that we always will. There are limits due to our being human beings. We must protect those cheeks so we can turn them and no body should be putting themselves in our way of protecting our cheeks and our right to Worship the god that gave us our cheeks. Now, when things deteriorate to the point that our very right to Worship our God is being threatened by the hethen, then we will have no alternative other than to put these people in their place verbally or otherwise. (Otherwise being with the force necessary to maintain our peace.)
I say if you want the freedom to insult me in MY COUNTRY, then EARN that RIGHT, otherwise LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. I prefer that YOU LEAVE IT. Thah is exactly what the LAW, JUDGES, SCHOOLS, and anyone else that agrees with us, should say to the ones MUSLIMS, ATHIESTS, and other UN-GODLY PERSONS, GIVE THEM one day to think about it. If They do NOT agree to the terms, THEN GIVE THEM TIL SUNDOWN TO BE GONE FOREVER.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
The ffrf offends me. Where do I go to sue? How come they never sue the muslims? Are they too scared? These people are nothing more than shills for the cpusa and they know it.
This is just so infuriating!!! If I’m in charge, I’d tell them to “go away and f^&$ themselves.” Enough is enough. I would also tell them that they are truly and highly offending and I would sue them as well. If they don’t like the monument in that school, don’t look at it or go to a different school. BASTARDS!!!
This is discrimination against Christians and just what right do they have to change anything we have had for years and when we still had God in our lives IMO and nobody forces anyone to believe in God or go to church and to me religion is ones choice and the small amount of people who belong to this cult should not be able to stop what has gone on for years and to me they are a cult. Anytime they see the word God they are in court so is it any wonder our courts are so far behind in serious cases because these nuts feel they are right and believers in God and or the church should be able to pray or go to church.
As one post said why don’t they go after the Muslim? This is my country and the rest of the citizens and why should we lose our rights just to please a cult or the Muslim. If they don’t like our freedoms and if they dont like what we are able to do by the Constitution then they can get the hell out. Like now the Muslim want anyone who abuses their religion to be punished and excuse me why don’t they go back to where they came from and abuse women and children, feel men are above women and anything else they believe. I am proud of being an American and I am proud and thank our forfathers for the Constitution allowing us choice etc so all of these freaks can go back to their country. Like the video on face book and the man telling the Muslim what he fellt and the rest of America feels the same way but not our president and his family because like he said he is a Muslim so thank God the man running against him is not a Muslim and Romney and Ryan will bring the United States of America back to what it was before the Muslim Nobama was elected
That should be that Christians should be able to worship and or go to church without some cult saying it is wrong so the last part of the post is wrong
Simply put: PRESIDENT OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM. As a child he was taught by Muslims, but that doesn’t make him a Muslim. He has been practicing Christianity for all of his adult life. My nephew went to a Jewish run day care pre to 12 and he is still a Roman Catholic. So what do you think – can we lay off the lies for the duration of this election.
obama had to be a muslim to attend the all boy muslim school which taught those beliefs. Just as he had to be an Indonesian citizen to attend the school. They do not allow duel citizenship so if ever American gave it up. Where have you been? Going to any Christian school is nothing like muslim beliefs of hate and murder! You have the choice of taking or leaving Christian belief but you vow your life to allah. Wake up and face truth! Research before you put silly opinions out there for the world to feel sorry for your ignorance. If you choose to bury your head in the sand fine just don’t let your ideas be known and you will be ok in your head. You are an infidel which makes you equal to an animal to obama. A muslim can lie about being muslium or anything else if it brings about end results to honor allah. This is the type person that will cost all of us our freedom! Wake Up and research. We take control of our government now or never. We will not beat the muslium brotherhood with obama in office. He is not now nor ever been qualified for office. Why do you think he can push laws thru that go against our constitution and without Congress approval? Terroist threathen families if they can’t be bought off. Abort our next generation kill off the older generation and the ones left will be easily managed. Gays will not be tolerated when muslim take over. If you are for obama you are against America.
muslims and non believers have more rights in our schools then christians,one school in california turned a closet into a prayer closet for their muslim students but christian students are forbidden to pray to god..this is america and we allow people to worship their god in there own way but they should not forbid others from doing the same..muslims come to the usa for freedom they do not have in the middle east but then they want to put those restrictions they ran from upon our country..this is wrong and christians need to wake up to the fox in the henhouse before they find themselves enslaved to islam
Yes I know we are supposed to keep our Christianity under a bushel basket. We are supposed to go against our beliefs and pay for all people to murder babies even if Christianity teaches us otherwise. Even if we consider that a great sin. On the other hand, Barry Soetoro tells the UN…..”the future does not belong to those who insult the prophet Muhammed”. He is on tape telling us he will make it possible for the Islamists to fulfill their charitable giving laws while telling Christians, go against YOUR religious laws. Pretty obvious where he stands religiously. As he said in his book…”if push comes to shove, I will side with the Muslims.” This country is SO dense!
Sure Why Not. NO Morals are a Lot Better the TEN Moral Standards to Keep Heathons in Check.
There you go again. Persecuting the so-called Heathens. People have a right to practice any religion they choose as long as it doesn’t violate any other laws and regulations. And people practicing atheism is sanctioned by our Constitution. If they disagree with a public display of religion, they have a right to petition the courts for redress. So let’s keep the bigotry in check and behave like Christians.
America is now and has always been a Christian nation! I don’t care what our muslim president says that all they young ignorant people are believing if they were not brought up right. If you have a different faith fine you are allowed to worship how you want but don’t influence our Christian values that this country was built on. Put prayer back in schools and display God’s word anywhere you want. If you political correctness bunch don’t like it go to a country with no Christian values and see how well you like it. I am tired of this. We either stand up for God or he will turn his back on us as we are doing him and we will be muslim and all you bleeding hearts will see what control is all about then when you have NO freedom. Keep it up it is so obvious where this mind set has gotten us. God Bless American and forgive the idiots for they no not what they do.
