114. There is a difference between private sponsorship using public
property and public sponsorship of religion.

Judge Moore was directly attemptint to establish official religion. He even admits it.

If a courthouse allows the public to place displays on its lawn, then by all rights you can put up the Ten Commandments and right next to it I can put up a statue of The Goddess and the God explicitly engaged in the sexual act and both must be allowed and kept up or neither can be allowed and kept up.

If you can place your religious monument on public property, you must by exptension allow ALL religious monuments on public property. Judge Moore and the State of Alabam not only publically endorsed a single specific religious monument, they refused to allow monuments for any other source.
