Ten Commandments: Coming to your Neighborhood

Ten-Commandments.jpg

You knew this was going to happen:

"Within hours of yesterday's Supreme Court decision allowing a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol, Christian groups announced a nationwide campaign to install similar displays in 100 cities and towns within a year.

"'We see this as an historic opening, and we're going to pursue it aggressively,' said the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Washington-based Christian Defense Coalition, which organized vigils outside the Florida hospice where Terri Schiavo died this year."

And when a Christian says "aggressive", you know they mean real red-faced, righteous anger aggression. They will parse over every word of the Supremes and decide what is permissable for a Commandment monument, and then before you know it monuments are popping up everywhere you look. Get ready for one, or many in your neighborhood.

How much longer before we start burning people at the stake?
