The Ten Commandments were not given by JC.

 Who is building the monument?

 Where is the monument being built?

 How would the money have spent to help the less fortunate? Food banks? Medical Care?

Clothing? Shelter?

 Would the same group that is building the monument be the ones providing the aid or

would it go to a second or even third party to be used?

What sort of context do you need?

Where did the money come from?  What's their plan to 'help the needy?'  How many needy will be 'helped?'  All of them, or some sort of lottery to pick a few to help?  Will it actually have a lasting effect for the needy, or simply represent a temporary fix? 

Also, where is the statue being erected?  Do the people of the area want the statue more?  Or do they want the aid?  What's the economy of the town like?  

Personally I wouldn't want either.  They should use the money to fix up public roads or maybe add a park or something nice that everyone can use.  Statues are relatively useless unless they act as a rallying point.  You could argue that a statue of the commandments would help public morale and steer more people to do right and be alwful, but in truth that's unfounded and is probably a lie.

Idolater!

I suggested putting the 10 Commandments on tablets of gold so that they would last for centuries, not so that we would worship them.

Not everybody's idea of Heaven is the same.  Heaven is whatever you want it to be, and more!

Imagining what Heaven is like gives us hope and the strength to go on with our meaningless lives.  If everybody believes that behaving a certain way during life will result in rewards after death, it might make us strive to make life more enjoyable.

This. I honestly couldn't have said it better myself. I think Peanutcat should stop huffing kittens. That cat dander must be affecting her mental faculties.

[TheOneTuttle]

This thread confuses me.....

[Vercaties]

I think it should be spent on an anti raping mechanism to keep priests away from little boys.

[TrigunBebop]

It should go towards helping the needy so long as all of the money is actually used for that purpose. Otherwise, I'd pick neither. fuuuuuudge the Ten Commandments.

Except for:

1.) Don't murder

2.) Don't steal

3.) Don't bear false witness

[the_shotgun_rhetoric]

Neither. If it's government money either spend it on infrastructure (you know, the kind of thing we pay taxes for) or don't spend it at all.

If it's just $5300 handed to me... well, I have debts to pay, and firearms/clothing/food/booze to buy. I'm needy too, dammit.

[TheGreatUrameshi13]

I'm sure there are better things to spend that kind of cash on than a Ten Commandments monument.  For instance, you could donate it to TheGreatUrameshi13 fund.  All proceeds will go to a worthy cause, I promise.

It's not rhetorical. Someone's got $5300 dollars. Would you rather see that spent building a monument or spent actually helping needy people?
