Federal Court Upholds Ten Commandments Monument as Being Historical, Not Religious Display[/h]

FARGO, N.D. – A Ten Commandments monument in North Dakota does not violate the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause as it serves more as a historical display than a religious one, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this past week. (Full Article @ CNN)


​

Amen!
This decision is spectacular. Not only for this religious display but as pertains to the ongoing fight to secure the place of the Mt.Soledad cross in California.

Atheists and others are hoping to have the cross removed.SCOTUS refuses to hear the case. But this decision will prayerfully set a precedent to invoke and secure the Mt.Soledad cross on the same grounds. It is a historic display and as such does not violate the establishment clause. Which is what the opponents of the cross are arguing.

God always shows a way to overcome the adversary. Praise the Lord! And bang that gavel in the name of religious freedom and historic preservation.

My pleasure. It's awesome when Christians get good news like this. Especially when atheist groups are attacking so many things that mean so much to Christians. They don't attack other faiths icons, they're apparently only threatened by Jesus.

Examples:

Florida School District Replaces Chaplains With ‘Life Coaches’ Following Atheist Complaint


This is ridiculous: Pizza Parlor to Continue Church Bulletin Discount Despite Atheist Pressure, Bomb Threat


Ever wonder how many of these type atheists combusted when they read the slogan on the back of their paper money? (In God We Trust) Duct tape! Morrrre duct tape! Texas School District Duct Tapes Over Plaques Glorifying God Following Atheist Complaint

This is the classic, give an inch they'll demand a mile: Humanists Still Upset Over ‘Christian Predominance’ After School District Bars Staff Prayers


There is good news though due to Christians refusing to be bullied by the godless:

This can be good and bad I suppose....bad in the sense that it takes the 10 commandments relegates it to a past historical context and in so doing leads many to believe it is outdated as this is the 21st century.....Good in the sense that it is still upheld to some extent....

I don't know how someone could imagine basic moral principles enshrined in stone is outdated. Though the way this century is going with immorality gaining ground in matters of lawful right, it is possible people could see it that way.

If they imagine the 10 commandments are out dated because they've now been identified as a historic feature in this case, I wonder what they'd say about other historic monuments and artifacts that are enshrined around America? Namely the U.S. Constitution, all of the historic architecture and facilities in D.C. , the statue of liberty, etc...

This is a great thing this court has done. They demonstrated to other jurisdictions a way to fight the godless that come after their religious monuments next.

Here is a man who does not miss the forest for the trees.

This is a victory in one battle for Law of Nature and Nature's God.

The context of this victory is something we should find alarming. Not only are Godly principles being equated with old custom, but the fact a case like this is even being considered in so deep red a state is a fact that should keep us all vigilant.

It has no choice but to be considered when anti-theist activists occupy virtually every state now. They either arrive and being their campaign, or they're stationed with a satellite office so as to keep their own vigilance attendant to the Christian landscape.

We should notice such groups, Freedom From Religion Foundation, various so called humanist groups, don't pursue Muslims, or any other faith. And when asked about that those who support such activist groups will say it is because the Christian privilege that has occupied this nation for so long stands out now as their biggest target.

Indeed, we should be vigilant. They've already pursued revocation of churches exercising their rights to free speech, at the risk of losing their 501(c)3.


[h=1]IRS Strikes Deal With Atheists To Monitor Churches

Editors' note: This editorial includes information that has been corrected.



First Amendment: Government's assault on religious liberty has hit a new low as the IRS settles with atheists who sued the government over an alleged policy of not enforcing restrictions on churches' political activities.


A lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) asserted that the Internal Revenue Service ignored complaints about churches' violating their tax-exempt status by routinely promoting candidates from the pulpit.


The lawsuit has now been dismissed without prejudice by a U.S. District Court in response to a joint request by the FFRF and IRS. The joint motion stated that the FFRF was "satisfied that the IRS does not have a policy at this time of non-enforcement specific to churches or religious groups." *Full Article*


When the IRS strikes a deal with anti-theists, and it is a secret deal, unpublished, which is illegal, we should worry that this is only the beginning.
