At least now they can explain every tornado for the next ten years The day after workers yanked the big ol' Ten Commandments Monument from the Oklahoma Capitol grounds and moved it to a conservative think tank, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin called on the state legislature to
Why have it there if you're not going to read it, Fallin. Like #6 - "Thou shalt not kill". I think Richard Glossip might want you to stroll out to your monument and give it consideration.
What Oklahoma really needs to spend its hard earned tax dollars on (and I say that as someone who has traveled there many times) is a few really first rate dental clinics. Just sayin'.
According to the website Chron, The Fraternal Order of Eagles are the ones who actually had the monuments placed. They had been passing around pamphlets, but DeMille talked them into upping thier efforts by donating and placing the stone monuments, not only because he was a religious man, but also as a freebie promo for his movie.
Actually having an ossified slab of Christian insecurity perched on the state capital might cone in handy. It will make it easier to take a tally of how many of Commandments the oh-so pious lawmakers break.
If they like it so much, maybe Oklahomans should pass an amendment requiring all candidates for elected office to provide authoritative proof that they are in compliance with all ten of those suckers.
what, Cecil didn't think audiences would be stampeding the theaters for a glimpse of Edward G. Robinson's nipps?
And they break "thou shalt not kill" with every execution. Botched or otherwise.

But since there is such a propensity for religious homeschooling in OK, are there really that many who CAN count? Beyond ten, I mean.

Good find!
I still just find it amusing that, in the end, the reason all those monuments exist is because DeMille wanted some freebie promo for his movie.
Yeah, next you'll be saying that the Flintstones isn't a documentary or other such falsehood.

Even a cursory review of US history would reveal far more influence from Satan than from the Ten Commandments.
Oh, no argument from me on that point! Yet the devout seem to have this idea they all went up back in July 1776. Amazing, and sad.
but Oklahoma has a flag!
More like hysterical marker.
"Thy neighbor" doesn't include anyone outside their voting district. Or maybe outside their circle of cronies.
