In Alabama, a government official was prevented from using his position of office to force endorsement of a specific religious code of law in a public place of law where the only laws that matter are the laws of the country and of the state -antiRepublicrat,116
Do you think the monument is intended to imply that a religious law trumps rights? If no, is it reasonable to assume it? Very basic civics directly contradicts the assumption.
Those who think yes, that implication is intended should take another look. The actions of men and the laws of men are thought of as being below the Creator. A government of men is judged by God. Still, we are here below and so all the workings of the law are bound by the secular law. There is absolutely no provision in our law for directly applying the ten commandments. It may be cited in a historical reference like any other meaningful document.
I will care if they start trying to indoctrinate my kids in school though -- you people have churches for that kind of stuff.
LOL, I myself am a skeptic. Since the age of 8, I haven't believed in God in the traditional sense.
Indoctrinate is a strong word. Allowing a prayer that noone be hurt at a football game is a far cry from indoctrination.
And that's what we're afraid of. A judge has a lot of latitude within the laws of man to make someone pay for not obeying the laws of your god.
