There is no such source and cause of strife, quarrel, fights. malignant opposition, persecution, and war, and all evil in the state, as religion. Let it once enter our civil affairs, our government would soon be destroyed. Let it once enter our common schools, they would be destroyed." - Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Weiss v. District Board,
This wasn't a ruling from last year or in the last ten years, but on March 18, 1890.
Isn't it funny how some people could see this 114 years ago?

Yea...that's why we have all those references to creator/Almighty God etc in all the individual papers, on our USSC building, etc.etc.etc.
Now you know me, I would strongly object to any religious article in a government owned building. Such as the 10 commandments or anything from any religion. It simply doesn't belong there. The reason is simple. There is no correct religion.
True Americans do not exclude anybody. They recognize that everyone should have the same rights. Bigotry, intolerance and hatred are cancers of the mind.

sorry yeager - You'll have to take that up with each state, with the USSC, with our House, Congress, etc. I can't help you and I hope they don't ever remove these historic items.
