Ten Commandments monument installed at Arkansas Capitol?
Ten Commandments monument installed at Arkansas Capitol?
"Workers installed a Ten Commandments monument outside Arkansas' Capitol on Tuesday, two years after lawmakers approved a measure permitting the privately funded statue on state grounds."

[I thought this issue between Church and State had been solved years ago? I guess now that the Republicans are in the catbird seat the rapture bunnies are once again trying to stick their religion up everyone's nose. Will there ever be an end to this sort of crap??]

Freedom of religion or more particularly freedom from religion is, in reality, a myth in some parts of the US.

Seems the debate is moot - the monument has been destroyed

Re: Ten Commandments monument installed at Arkansas Capitol?
You all really need to read the statements in separation of Church and State. It states the Government may not establish a law to set religion or religious practice
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state_in_the_United_States
Interpretations exist as to extension of that statement and they are just that 'Interpretations' not actual determination of the statement where the allowance of a monument paid for by personal funds is in no way establishing a law or denying freedom of exercise of religious practice.

I don't know why it wasn't rejected in the first place.
They shouldn't have put the damn thing up.

The fact is, it was on government property - the courts have been pretty consistent in blocking that regardless of who paid for the monument.
