The ten commandments are a harmless symbol of Xtian principles, I don't disagree. The problem is not the ten commandments or even religion per se... it's what people like you do with them.

Here is what I mean by "protection from your religion"... I'll let TJ... spell it out for you.

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity."

-Thomas Jefferson

Like what, honoring them? And that presents a problem to you?

Seems to me that "people like me" not honoring them would present a real problem to you -- especially the "Thou shalt not kill" one.

I know of no current crusade going on in the United States, burning, torturing, fining and imprisoning "people like you" in an effort to convert them to Christanity. If there is, I'll go on record as opposing it.

Feel better now? Can I have back my freedom to exercise my religion?
