That is, perhaps, true. However, according to the news stories, the selected bird and flower design received more than half of all the votes, therefore the majority of Oklahomans who bothered to vote did not think enough of the statue to select it when it was offered under any form.
Your earlier claim that the bible was removed because of “secularist” objections was just something you made up–it never happened. So first you post a thread wanting to discuss an event that never happened and then you want to make a big deal over something that over half the voting Oklahomans rejected when it was offered to them.
No one “wins” this thread, but everyone who has expended effort looking at the evidence (none of which you bothered to provide) has lost.
I don’t have all the answers. But I can spend a few minutes finding support for and presenting a cogent argument. (At least some of the time.) That’s pretty much all we were asking of you or anyone else. And for the record, this hardcore secular atheist wouldn’t have been moved to complain about a Bible being held by a statue depicted on a coin. Did you know that there is a truckload of Bibles being carried across the New River Gorge Bridge depicted on the back of our West Virginia state quarter? <–Made you look.
I did learn a little more about Oklahoma. Previously, Ponca City had only been that place that stole our data center.
Are you legitimately asking this question or is this just more “statements in question form” that you seem so attached to?
