At 10 Commandments Shrine, Atheists Build ... a Bench? BECAUSE, THEY SAY, IT'S PRACTICAL By Polly Davis Doig, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Jun 30, 2013 8:31 AM CDT (NEWSER) – Thou shalt not believe? A group of atheists are holding a sit-down—quite literally—at a monument to the 10 Commandments outside a Florida courthouse. As a testament to their non-belief and a protest to the granite slab they sought to remove, American Atheists unveiled their own monument yesterday: A bench that sports quotes from the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and John Adams. "When you look at this monument, the first thing you will notice is that it has a function," says the group's president. "Atheists are about the real and the physical." It's an interesting intersection of church and state, reports the AP. American Atheists had sued to have the 10 Commandments monument removed; it sits on government property in what's called a free speech zone. Their request was denied, but they were told they could have their own monument. "We're not going to let them do it without a counterpoint," says their president. And that counterpoint inspired its own counterpoints, as the unveiling was greeted with "Honk for Jesus" and "Yankees Go Home" signs, spirited debate, and even a driver who tossed a toilet seat and toilet paper out. "We protests their events, they protests our events," says one atheist. "As long as everybody's cordial and let people speak. This is our day, not theirs." Less »
