According to the Supreme Court it is
not legal to display the 10 Commandments in a court house or other public building for the purpose of endorsing a religious belief. It is legal to display them for a secular purpose. Thus, in the opinion of the Supreme Court, it is possible to display the 10 Commandments without endorsing a religious belief. I realize that you hold a contrary opinion. Fortunately, or unfortunately, as the case may be, it is the opinion of the Supreme Court that determines the law of the land, not yours.
