Put the thinkers to a better use
This Ten Commandments debate is getting old, Freethinkers. Obviously free thinking as this group defines it reflects minds so very, very open that their brains have fallen out!

Freethinkers need counseling
I have been in many cities and towns in my 59 years. Some had Ten Commandment monuments. Some didn’t. Life went on in the ones that had them. It went on in the ones that didn’t.

Separate church, state necessary
Many in the Fargo area see the Red River Freethinkers’ actions regarding the Ten Commandments monument as pointless. “If you don’t like it, don’t look at it,” they say. Let me pose a scenario:

Take monument off public land
I ask you to read the Ten Commandments again, but instead of reading them as sacred, unquestionable truths, pretend you’ve never seen them.

Limit Commandments display to those in accord with the law
As one of the original litigants who requested the removal of the graven image of the Ten Commandments from Fargo city property, it occurs to me that perhaps we should compromise, limiting the display on tax-supported property to those commandments that are in accord with the rule of law. Although they are not numbered in the Bible, I will do so in the order in which they appear in Exodus.

Freethinkers not thinking clearly
I am perplexed at the thought process of the Freethinkers. Apparently their free-thinking process has tunnel vision, and they cannot see or think about the very thoughtful decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court, the highest court in the land of freedom.

Ten Commandments cultural symbol
Certain people in and around Fargo are putting a lot of time and energy into trying to have our monument showing the Ten Commandments removed.

How hypocritical!

They don’t have enough to do
Jon Lindgren states in his letter dated March 16 that Fargo will get left behind if the Ten Commandments are not removed from public property. How is that possible?

Pilch: Freethinkers’ line of logic is flawed
It’s not about the monument. As the Freethinkers contemplate the next move on their agenda, I am certain that they are secretly celebrating the mileage they have gotten out of their current challenge (Forum, Feb. 27).
