Yes, I'm sure you have no strong feelings over the ten commandments being there or not being there. That's not the point. You have strong feelings about the claim to put Satan up there too. So, the strategy worked. People took notice and a discussion ensued. A discussion that ultimately led to a verdict.
Only to put it right next to it, because it would become a symbol of hate towards a particular group of people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
