Workers began removing a Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the Oklahoma Capitol late Monday in accordance with a court order.

The Daily Oklahoman reported that the six-foot high monument would be reinstalled outside the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, a conservative think tank.

A contractor hired by the state began removing the monument shortly after 10:30 p.m. local time The works comes after the Oklahoma Supreme Court's decision in June that the display violates a state constitutional prohibition on the use of public property to support "any sect, church, denomination or system of religion."

This is not what the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote the First Amendment. This came from the empty skulls of homosexuals in black robes.

Somewhere, up in heaven, I wonder if God is laughing at the notion of removing him from anything.

Psalm 37:1 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

We’ve passed the threshold, and just begun the tour.

No wondering about it.

Psalm 2

1
Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2
The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3
“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”

4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5
He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6
“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8
Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9
You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10
Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

The Pope/Vatican supports this move.

Yes they do, they support all the anti Christian rulings in the United states over the years.

How do I know this? Because they dont tell their members that they must support Christian principals or be excommunicated.

Thank God that festering wound, that symbol of all this wrong with America, has been removed from the state grounds. < /sarcasm>

___

And just what sect, church, denomination or system of religion are they referring to? What is a “system of religion” anyway? The ten commandments provides a simple set of rules that everyone should live by. Regardless of their religion or beliefs. The world would be a much better place.

The 10 Commandments include among others certain abusive statements. Thou Shalt Not Murder, Thou Shalt not Steal and Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness all of which are no longer acceptable in a progressibve society!

Each of those fly right in the face of Democrats. That is why they are not tolerated.

There is nothing left to save here. Just forget it. The country has completely, and totally forsaken God. All that’s left for us is to enjoy the view. No one will stand up, no one will yell, and the tyrants (who are the minority) will have their way. The monument is being moved in front of a conservative think tank as a reminder that they, and all of conservatism, are complete failures.

Oklahoma is the “reddest state in the country” and couldn’t muster the guts to stop a mindless worker with a hammer, a screwdriver, and his butt crack showing from taking down the last visible remnant of a decent society. GD America: that’s in the bible.
