Religious imagery has no place on public land: Your Say

A monument of the Ten Commandments was removed from Oklahoma State Capitol grounds this week. The state’s high court ruled it violated a ban on using state property to further religions. Comments from Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:

The Ten Commandments don’t belong on public property, which is supported by taxes paid by people of various beliefs, as well as freethinkers.

I’m glad I don’t live in Oklahoma. The removal of the monument is just sad. America was built on Christianity.

I really do not see what harm there is in having this monument, and I don’t see the big deal in not having it. The decision was made, and the state quietly carrying it out was a good move.

I don’t agree with the justification of removing religious artifacts from public buildings. Many politicians have no problem going to places of worship to promote their political agendas. God is everywhere, and so is his word. There’s nothing man can do to ever change that.

Religious imagery has no business on government property.
