Federal Judge Throws Out Atheist Suit Against Commandments

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

A federal judge in Oklahoma has dismissed a lawsuit brought by atheists against a Ten Commandments monument in the state capital.

The anti-Christian group American Atheists, based in New Jersey, filed suit on behalf of an anonymous woman who claimed about the installation of a monument to the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the Oklahoma capitol building.

The State Capitol Preservation Commission argued that the woman had only seen the monument once and had traveled to the capitol solely for the purpose of being offended by the monument.

U.S. District Judge Robin Cauthron ruled that the woman lacked standing to sue because she could not prove that she had suffered any personal injury from the display.

The monument has faced suits in the past.  The ACLU sued in August 2013 claiming the presence of the display was unconstitutional.
