What are you thoughts on the removal of the 10 Commandments statue at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City?

No religion is more important than any other, no matter how strongly a person feels about it. The government - whether federal, state, or municipal shall favor one over the others. It's pretty simple. The 10 Commandments are not the law of the land, the Constitution is. Theres the answer.
This is not a Christian country....despite as many Christian's believe it to be.

The complexity of this problem is so intricate, to the untrained eye, it appears as simple as black and white. When in reality it is nothing more than dollars and cents….. If everyone would just stop and take one big step back, you would be surprised how many wealthy toes you step on…. What you are observing in today’s society is a combination of miss guided anger and manipulation on mass scale. The lack of common sense and the increase in impulsive behavior provides credit to my previous statement. For example, yesterday a black protester, while on camera screams, “Black Power, Black Unity, the white man is the devil”. However, this individual has a white girlfriend and biracial children…. During a rally a white protester is recorded saying “niggers are violent and destructive and have no place in America”. However, it was discovered that this person had three black groomsmen in his own wedding….. A black teenager was arrested for vandalizing a confederate statue. When ask why he did this, he responded with “the white man put “USE” in slavery and that is why we can’t get good jobs and live the good life”. However, this young man voluntarily dropped out of high school and fathered multiple children, which has caused a financial burden he could not carry………. A white protester was videoed saying, “we need to stop this hatred and come together”. However, before this video ended she stated “all white people are racist and this will never end”. …..... What you must understand is, this is not a black vs white problem, but the wealthy influencing our actions through media and ignorance to line their own pockets. ((((((Think People, Just Stop and Think. Will the outcome of this chaos benefit the average man or woman in America??? ))))))…. My statement may fall on deaf ears or be regarded as nonsense, but just keep this in mind……..……Whenever there is fire blazing in society, the person fanning the flames, is one getting paid……

Why is it so offensive to this group or person who wants it removed? What does this person or group of people take such offense to this? Just because there is a statue of the 10 commandments up doesn't mean they have to follow it....doesn't mean that they have to pay attention to it....It means a lot to many folks...a great deal....these folks that want it taken down...WHAT are they so AFRAID OF? Is it hurting them in any way? Is it harming them or putting them into harms way? Why do they even have to pay attention to it? They don't have to read it! They don't have to look at it! they don't have to believe it. WHY DOES IT BOTHER THEM SO MUCH?
NEXT THING YOU KNOW THESE FOLKS are going to want to get rid of all BOOKS or any WRITTEN material of ALL Religious groups.

This is such BULLCRAP and it needs to stop. I don't see how the courts can make the call and force the removal of this or anything else RELIGIOUS or anything to do with the CIVIL WAR or anything else that SOMEONE who doesn't believe the same WANTs to have it removed!

THIS IS SO STUPID....IT'S PETTY....IT'S RIDICULOUS!!!!!

Looks like the Oklahoma legislature has filed a resolution to remove the offending portion from the Oklahoma State Constitution:

It'll be a long process; it can't be taken up until February, and would need to be voted on by the people of Oklahoma. If it passes, though, the 10 Commandments can stay, and that statue of Baphomet can get donated as well.

I don't think they should be removed, as a Christian I love the idea of their place outside of the capital. However, if they want to keep them then they should by law be required to open up the opportunity for people of other faiths in the state to also have representative monuments. The government cannot show favoritism to one and shun the others. Despite that, monuments to the various faiths should be funded by said faiths if they want them built and installed and not funded directly by the capital or state government, at least not in the name of the government.

CPT Robert Ashman, the statue of the 10 Commandments was put up in 2012 by a politician to gain votes, that use is bad. People have been con and continue to be conned therefore remove the statue..

removal of the Ten Commandments and look what Detroit did this week we are all screwed

can anyone tell me --How is that not going against Freedom of religion ?

2009, Oklahoma State Representative Mike Ritze sponsored a bill to have a monument to the Ten Commandments installed at the capitol. His family supplied $10,000 to fund the monument, which was installed in 2012.

CPT Robert Ashman, That Monument has no meaning, there are so many that are anger by the removal but at the same time do not practice the Commandments, in fact how many Commandments will they break to show their displeasure. Ask your self about using God's Name in Vane.
