I posted this else where and I want to see how the Christians on the board feel about the 1st amendment. Do you really beleive in it or is it just something used when there is a war on Christmas?

This is a perfect example of how religious zealots do not understand how the COTUS works. If you make an exception for one group as was obviously done for the folks who wanted the 10 Commandments in public property then you have to do it for everyone. The courts have already invalidated displays like this all over the country. Why OK thinks they are immune to the law is beyond me.
I think it will be interesting to see whether the good folks in OK are going to allow the Satanic monument to stand beside their 10 Commandments or if they will back down and pull the 10 Commandments. They cannot have it both ways and the argument that there is no Satanic history in our country holds about as much water as a strainer. Would they use that argument for the Mormons as well?
One member of the state Senate said that the Satanist are just nut jobs and not a real religion. I have yet to see how he will defend that legally. It does clearly show his religious bias and lack of understanding about how the law works.
