10 Commandments Monument = Idolatry?
I am not Christian, although I am spiritual. There has been a lot of this talk about Roy Moore's 10 Commandments Monument being moved around the country and such. I know this mounment is an establishment of religion and all, but I also think of something else. Seeing the reaction of certain people around this monument, I have to think to myself, does this amount to Idolatry?

2. I am a Christian... and I think it IS idolatry...
Which is the funniest thing about the religious extremists who rally around it, crying and bowing before it as if it is a diety. They are so hellbent on protecting a piece of rock instead of taking the commandments and applying them to their own lives. Funny thing about the 10 Commandments... they are a guide from the almighty as to how you should live your OWN life... not a mandate as to how you think you need to force others to live theirs.

RAW

3. Yep. Putting way too much importance on a hunk of rock with

some words carved on it. Why not memorize the Ten Commandments and live by them? If you want to see them regularly, copy them on a card to keep in your wallet.
