Throw me the idol

I just caught a glimpse on the TV of the Ten Commandments monument in Alabama about to be moved.
It's surrounded by praying people on their knees, quite a few have their arms raised in a sort of "invoke the power of god" pose.
Really, what are these poor people expecting?

EXTERIOR SCENE, ALABAMA MAIN JUDICAL BUILDING, ROTUNDA
Sheriff to crowd : "Okay, you can pray if you want to, but you have to keep it back. Might get some debris."
Foreman : "Right, we're going to need three entry points for the first cro-"
COLUMN OF FIRE RAISES FROM THE MONUMENT TO THE HEAVENS
Workmen : "Holy shit!"
ANGEL FLIES OUT OF MONUMENT
Sheriff : "It's beautiful!"
ANGEL TRANSFORMS INTO SPECTER OF DEATH
Sheriff : "Aaaaah!"
STREAMS OF FIRE SHOOT FROM THE ANGEL THROUGH THE THRONG OF WORKMEN, FORCING THEM ON THEIR KNEES, PLASMA ESCAPING THEIR EYE SOCKETS AND MOUTHS AS THEY BURN IN ONE FINAL GRIM GENUFLECTION
Foreman : " No!"
FOREMAN SCREAMS AS PLASMA BEAM ENTERS HIS BODY, MELTING HIM RAPIDLY
Sheriff : "What have I do-"
SHERIFF SCREAMS AS PLASMA BEAM ENTERS HIS BODY, MELTING HIM RAPIDLY
Indy to Marion : "Don't look at it! Whatever happens Marion, don't look at it! Shut your eyes tight!"
