An American Hindu organization says that it will renew its pursuit to erect a statue of the Hindu god Hanuman at the Oklahoma State Capitol if residents vote next week to allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed. “Hindu statesman Rajan Zed … said that if and when [the] Oklahoma State Capitol became open again in the future to different monuments and space was available in the statehouse grounds,
Hindus would love to request placing a statue of Lord Hanuman, which might become the first Hindu religious monument on public land in USA,” the Universalist Society of Hinduism in Nevada said in a statement on Wednesday. “[B]esides honoring the Hindus living in Oklahoma, this Lord Hanuman statue would raise awareness of Oklahomans about Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world with about one billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought,” it stated.

Religious freedom in America means that you can have your own religion but in your own back yard!! America is a Christian nation, founded on Christian values and beliefs. Our founders put freedom of religion in the constitution as to prevent government from changing that Christian belief foundation as King Henry VIII had done to suit his own purpose. And exactly to prevent government from removing Christian values from our schools and communities. THIS RELGIOUS FREEDOM HAS NOR HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OR ANYONE WHO WAS OR IS ANYTHING BUT CHRISTIAN. WHEN WILL OUR LEADERS START GETTING THIS STRAIGHT?!?! Our nation is Christian!!! Our nation believes in God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost. Our founding fathers created a constitution that supports us. Do your own thing but don’t start thinking your going to change America. We the people have and must elect representatives that understand this basic but absolutely most essential freedom and what it means!!!
@Lucy D Sapp America is not a Christian nation never was. America was put in place as the new Babylon. That is why there is a law for religious freedom. If it was a Christian nation, that wouldn’t be part of the law. Didn’t Israelites get punished for the idol worshipping!! America values are built on lies, and the people line up to believe in them.
How appropriate.
