Photo Essay – “God in the Temples of Government”

23 November 2003 @ 11:37 am | 2 comments

Human Events has a photo essay of examples of religious symbols in government buildings. The examples are predominantly of federal buildings in Washington, D.C. including, the Supreme Court, Congress, and excerpts from various speeches. The article also asks:

If the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) or some other plaintiff decides to sue to remove any or all of these images, what would be the result?

If the courts are consistent, these images — and countless more like them — could be removed by a judicial elite hostile to all forms of religious expression in public.

    Could this be called “Rule of Judges?”

    This could be compared to the rule of judges in the BoM, though little detail is given about their rule after Alma. But it is interesting to note that an unrightous elite came to dominate this sphere of society in the BoM.

    Note, I am not saying that this is the case now, but I see no reason why it couldn’t be in the future.
