The first commandment does not allow anyone to worship anyone or anything but God himself. The First Amendment does allow it. You don't see a conflict there?

Only if you see a conflict between football not allowing gouging and the WWF allowing it.

I do not see the Constitution and the Bible as synonymous, as this statement seems to imply. The charge was made that the Bible was the foundation upon which the Constitution was created. I disputed this notion because they run in direct conflict with each other on the issue of religious freedom. The Ten Commandments does not allow freedom of worship -- the Constitution does. Therefore, the connection between the two is specious at best.
