Exodus 20
4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

City Removes Nativity Scene From Staten Island St. George Ferry Terminal After Someone Complained
In what Catholics see as political correctness run amok, the city Department of Transportation (DOT) has removed a Nativity scene from the terminal, with an agency spokesman saying that the display was not authorized to be there.
But a menorah, marking the celebration of Hanukkah, and a Christmas tree remain on display in the terminal.
Catholics said the move was a nightmare before Christmas. “We take this as a tremendous affront,” said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, a watchdog of religious and civil rights.
The controversy reflects church-and-state battles that erupt nationwide each Christmas over the placement of religious symbols in public spaces.
A caller to the Advance today complained about the removal of the Nativity scene, which depicts the newborn Christ in the manger.
The caller said that workers in the terminal told her the display was removed after someone complained to the city’s 311 hotline
