La Crosse will appeal Ten Commandments ruling

[Khephra]

The La Crosse City Council plans to appeal a recent court decision calling for the removal of a Ten Commandments statue. The decision came a special session Tuesday evening. The monument was dedicated to the city of La Crosse back in the 1960s by the Eagles Club. It's sat on the same patch of public land ever since. Two years ago the monument became a source of controversy when the city was sued by an organization arguing the statue violates the separation between church and state. Now it's likely the case will advance on to a federal court of appeals in Chicago.

2. Love how that sign tries to reframe the debate

It is not "submit(ting) to atheists", it is submitting to the US Constitution.

5. Of course, it's the atheists who are right

Sorry God.

6. Would you say the same thing if it were a Buddha.

or maybe a totem. Is this really that difficult a concept for you? If you want to bash athiests, try this thread in GD. You'll be welcomed, I'm sure.

7. It probably should be a totem up in LaCrosse....

or a keg of beer

It gets wild when they have Oktoberfest... at least back in the 70's

3. Why is this STILL difficult to comprehend??

Church over there. State over there.

Doesn't matter if it's your church. Next time it might not be. And it's always your state!!

He is making it seem that Athiests are evil and only christian God Fearing Okifanokies are good!
Maybe it's that he's the EVIL ONE!
