The Ten Commandments Ruling

August 27, 2003 | Issue 39•33

State Supreme Court justices recently ordered that a Ten Commandments monument be removed from the Alabama Judicial Building. What do you think?

Old Man

Stanley Welty,
Systems Analyst
"At the rate the liberals are going, it won't be long before our country has an official policy mandating the separation of church and state."

Old Woman

Opal Birch,
Loan Counselor
"I support its removal. A monument to the Ten Commandments is a graven image, and therefore blasphemous."

Black Man

Lawrence Petty,
Program Director
"Alabama was just using that monument as a cheap, easy way to score some God points anyway."

Young Man

Jeff Rawson,
Groundskeeper
"People can be so stupid about religion. I always have to explain my 'I'm A Fundament-tail-ist!' T-shirt to people. It means I like ass-fucking, all right?"

Young Woman

Kay Sines,
Talent Director
"I know they have to take down the big granite monument at the Judicial Building, but what about the small tin sign tacked up in the Negro Courtshack?"

Asian Man

Arthur Serra,
Order Filler
"Let them have their statue. It's Alabama. No one there can read it, anyway."
