The American Center for Law and Justice has filed a petition with the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision that ordered a Utah city to allow a non-traditional religion to erect its seven tenets beside the Ten Commandments or to take down all such monuments.
Summum, which believes its Seven Aphormisms were also brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses, is arguing its first amendment rights are being violated.
I’ve got to side with the Summums on this one. Not that I believe their blend of New Age and Scientology, but if this group loses it’s first amendment rights, Christianity can easily lose its rights as well! In a free, democratic society, the majority must to allow the minority its expressions of beliefs—regardless how strange or offensive—or it too may one day be in the minority. (And Christianity is quickly becoming a minority!)
