lol, this country is not a christian country, in the treaty of tripoli:

As the Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the law, religion or tranquility of Musselmen; and as the states never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mohometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever produce an interruption of harmony existing between the two countries.

City park, does not this belong to the People? Why not let them vote on what THEY want in THEIR public park? let the people of the City say what they want to have to look at every time they use THEIR PARK. Spoken by Ronald Reagan, they government should not be telling us what to do, we should tell it what We Want. They are wasting a lot of time and money going through courts who usually do not have the mind of the public they are suppose to be representing.

This Ten Commandments monument in a Pleasant Grove park at 100 South and 100 East was donated 47 years ago by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The city has been fighting demands by the religious group Summum that it allow another monument in the park of the group's Seven Aphorisms.
