How to keep the 10 Commandments Monument |
Taken from: http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q15D22BB5
"Volunteers should be organized to appear in pairs in the lobby of the
Court House in Montgomery day in and day out on a never ending basis.
Volunteers will be armed with nothing more than a set of type written
notes containing the words of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. It will be the job of
volunteers to stand and recite the words .aloud. from memory in shifts
from the time the doors to the court house open in the morning until the
time they close in the evening. This must be a dedicated effort until
Roy's Rock is returned to its rightful place. And it _will_be_ returned."
The article is pretty funny, and outlines the whole plan, citing what to
do and what not to do. I wonder how long this would last until people got
bored of seeing and doing it. Hell if they did start doing it, Id love to
live in that area, just to go and get a good laugh.

I shouldn't give them any ideas, but they could at least make up an audio
tape. Actually, there would be nothing wrong with wearing t-shirts with
the commandments on them and just standing there. (Unless there are
prohibitions on loitering). Heck if they put the t-shirt on a pretty
girl I might even check it out :).

They have clearly missed the point -- not that I am surprised. They
always could do this and still can. What can't be done is that the state
can't officially endorse and define these ten commandments to be the one
true set of "god's laws".

Screw the T-shirt; have a buxom babe get the 10C's tattooed across her
breasts and stand there topless. Do you think that would create a bit of
a conflict for the fundies?

That's plan B if I can't talk her out of her panties :)

Ashcroft would have instant aneurysms in about five places at once. (not
that this would be a bad thing). He almost flipped out just seeing a
statue with a conspicuous bronze boobie. Now what I'd like to see are
hot, naked xian cheerleaders spelling out the commandments with various
bodily contortions :)))

I don't know about the fundies, but it would
upset me to deface a woman's breasts with
the ten commandments.

Yeah, tattoos on women are gross and that one would be very, very gross.

If anyone did this, I'd seriously think about gathering some atheist
friends, and heading down to Montgomery to stand toe-to-toe with the Ten
Commandments reciters, and recite from some Satanist book. See how long
they can hold out before they break down crying :D
Perhaps you could dress as Satan, stand next to them and when they
begin to babble, say to passersby: "Come! Listen to my disciples
speak!"

That probably wouldn't have good results. I recall
an episode of Jackass where one of the cast members
dressed up in a really cheezy Satan outfit and walked
around some town screaming how god had stolen
the idea for circumcision from him. Some guy
ended up attacking him.
So I now have to face the fact that I have publicly
admitted to watching Jackass and actually
enjoying it.

And if they attacked me -- I'd press charges! Then I'd come back and do
it some more. I'm serious -- if they actually did this, I couldn't take
time off during the week because I have to work, but I'd sure as hell
take some weekends to go down there and give them some of their own
medicine.

I'll admit that with pride :D

Perhaps you could dress as Satan, stand next to them and when they
begin to babble, say to passersby: "Come! Listen to my disciples
speak!"
That probably wouldn't have good results. I recall
an episode of Jackass where one of the cast members
dressed up in a really cheezy Satan outfit and walked
around some town screaming how god had stolen
the idea for circumcision from him. Some guy
ended up attacking him.
And if they attacked me -- I'd press charges! Then I'd come back and do
it some more. I'm serious -- if they actually did this, I couldn't take
time off during the week because I have to work, but I'd sure as hell
take some weekends to go down there and give them some of their own
medicine.\
Perhaps we could get Septic out there with a bullhorn, which
would neatly solve two problems. It would annoy the
heck out of the theists, and it would prevent him from
posting on a.a.
So I now have to face the fact that I have publicly
admitted to watching Jackass and actually
enjoying it.
I'll admit that with pride :D
Well I'll admit it, but with grudging humility. . .

THAT would be AWESOME! Or perhaps just stand there speaking gibberish,
right in their ears, not actually touching them (they would be pressing
charges, likewise we could do the same) This should be interesting either
way

Or just take the example from the picture of the guy with an "I'm With
Stupid" poster next to a pair of anti-abortion protestors.

Ah, now they're doing what Jeebus told them NOT to do. Endless,
ritual repetition...

Better yet, recite some of the nastier passages of their own bible.
I find the ones about keeping slaves, pillaging neighboring villages
and raping virgins to get a wife especially lovely.
Or do a "cookout" theme. Bring several loaves of bread, some condiments,
and posters with the following passages:
Ezek. 4:12
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung
that cometh out of man, in their sight.
Ezek. 4:15
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and
thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
