OK, a courthouse in New Orleans is being sued by the ACLU into having a painting of Jesus taken down:

Now, the debate is this: The painting shows quotes from Jesus about judging people properly. So, since this is technically not a religious image, why should it be taken down? If it were a picture of George Washington with the same quotes, there would be no controversy.
According to the government, it is just a picture of a man with quotes about the judicial system on it. So why should it be taken down?
Some may argue for "Separation of Church and State", but as the painting shows no religious quotes, I don't see how this is an issue.
