My sense is that it's just a free speech issue. Let everyone speak his own mind and quit trying to control folks' religious opinions. It's a whole lot easier to just let people express themselves freely than trying to police every little thing that gets said or gets set up.

This chief justice will put up a stone monument with God words on it, the next will put up a statue of a greek goddess, and the next will stick up a guy with a fly fishing rod.

I think that's the intent of the 1st amendment. Just have the government butt out of religious discussions altogether.

They're a pain in the butt when you try to control them.

Not in taxpayer-funded venues. Whether you like it or not, the establishment clause clearly applies here, as Moore was quite insistent that his view of God did NOT include the God of Muslims or Buddhists.

Can't do that.
