Recently, a public school was asked to remove a plaque with the 10 commandments, due to a complaint by an anonymous individual. As predicted, a massive support group has been created by Christians to try to give (mostly inaccurate) reasoning as to why they should get to keep the commandments on the school property.

I would GREATLY appreciate any support you guys can give, as right now, I'm practically on my own.

Not to sound callous, but unless you are the one who made the original complaint, is there any point in trying to garner support for this cause?

If the matter is to be decided by public opinion, the you'd never be able to get enough to matter in what appears to be a predominantly Christian community.

If it's to be decided by the law, then you have already won.
