I say this as a devout Christian, but I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. I don’t worship symbols or statues. More important than having a 10 Commandments statue is striving to OBEY the 10 Commandments on a daily basis.

You're missing the point here. The government entity here is apparently giving tacit approval of a faith other than Christianity. There have been similar incidents in government schools, where students were forced to live as Muslims, carrying out Muslim rituals, while being prohibited from expressing their Christian faith.

The creeping criminalization of Christianity is something that should concern you.

It doesn’t, because we’ve been warned to expect it (Mt. 5:10-12 & 10:16-39; 1 Cor 4:12, among others)

Rather, we should be concerned when men speak well of us (Luke 6:26).

Our answer is in the Spirit and Truth of Christ, not in a statue.

That is the liberal argument against public display of the Ten Commandments. I didn't buy it in that case and I don't buy it in this one.
