MONTGOMERY, Alabama (CNN) -- Only one in five Americans approve of the federal court order under which workers removed the Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building Wednesday, according to a new poll.

Where did they do this poll? The Bible belt?

Meh, it's only because people are worried about their image. Don't go to church and act holy, so you can be considered "A GOOD PERSON"? Then you must be a bad person. Don't agree with religion or find religious stuff particularly holy? Better say you do, just to be safe in the eyes of God (and everyone else).

So yeah, that's my guess.

I find this whole situation quite funny. Im predicting a Holy War in the US within the next month or so

. Think about it 4 of 5 polled Alabahmans will join together to fight. That leaves the one of five (I believe their names are Bob and Gill) polled Alahbamans to fend for themselves.

Maybe they'll take the whole south down in flames with them.

Look, when jurists see the Ten Commandments, they might feel more inclined to reach judgements by the ten verses and not US law, which is what the criminals are on trial for.

Religion = death and violence

Yes, we must obey the 10 commandments and not the rules of law because that is what the founding fathers wanted for us. Surely that is what they meant with trying to keep church and state seperate.

And wtf is this about?

"It is a sad day in our country when the moral foundation of our law and the acknowledgment of God has to be hidden from public view to appease a federal judge,"

There are 5 christian churches within a mile of my house. It's the poor satanists that have to go to the graveyards at night and stay out of public view.

Yeah, but don't most of them have an 11:00 PM curfew on school nights?

Not around here they don't

They are doing it on their parent's dime, this being a college town. I live in a town with a bunch of graveyards that form a pentagram that attracts attention. The only traces of their meetings though are the occasional subtle paper memos left on college bulletin boards. Pretty toned down presence.

Not like the christians. I see them meet in large mass every Sunday when they all park up and down the street
