Wow - the only surprising thing here is that the monument lasted this long in the Bay Area.

another pic of the Ten Commandments Monument before it was moved:


I wonder where it was relocated to?

Meanwhile - on the other side of town:

Six Arms Buddha" sculpture in front of City Hall on June 15, 2010 in San Francisco

It seems the animals at the zoo were the last ones in the Bay Area attempting to live by the 10 Commandments.....

Joel Parrott, CEO and president of the zoo

What an appropriately-named, lick-spittle, simple-tool useful idiot.

Don’t worry godless leftists. Eternal Zoo will have none of the Ten Commandments displays either. The reddish Zoo keeper there is a real ashole though-—have it your way and your will be done.

“I wonder where it was relocated to?”

No, I won’t say it.

These communist can remove this but God is still in control..What makes them think we will ever forget the commandments God gave us..They will one day set their full attention on burning our Bibles but then they would have gone to far..

By removing the words they think the deeds they do go away..Sorry idiot just wait when you die you will burn in the lake of fire forever and ever..

These are sad times in the nation I grew up in and love.

Alas, we’re seeing it stolen away by the not so vast minimalist minority.

For their next trick these idiots will need to rename half of the cities in California that were named for the Catholic saints. Hah... pass the popcorn.

Starting with San Francisco and progressing through San Mateo, San Rafael, San Juan Bautista, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Diego, etc., etc. until you get to Los Angeles.

FWIW, I have spent 4 of the last 6 weeks in California, and it certainly isn’t the place where I was born and raised — or the place where my great grand parents pioneered.

Satan consolidates another city.

The people of Oakland will be on their knees begging the Lord God for help before it is all said and done. Bank on it.

That's what most locals think, too. It is a pagan religious statue. It is OK and doesn't offend atheists, but the Ten Commandments do. Our world is sick, sick, sick.

The 1994 sculpture of Quetzalcoatl (also known as The Plumed Serpent) is by Robert Graham and constructed of concrete polymer. It was commissioned by the city of San Jose to honor the culture of its Latino citizens, for $500,000. Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec deity who symbolizes fertility and order. The sculpture created controversy at the time of its installation, because some citizens found it objectionable in religious, economic and aesthetic terms."

It is getting hard to win against the forces of evil.

I'm not sure that is a religious idol but if it is, I would appreciate knowing what religion.

Certainly, the city of San Francisco would NEVER remove this Buddha idol from the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. Maybe I should sue to have it removed.

That is a paradox for the Cali commies. All of the Catholic saint named cities are in Spanish, so to indulge their atheism, they have to trample their multiculturalism.

Hmmm, what is an atheist commie liberal to do?
