Then why not post the Roman Catholic version or the Jewish version instead of the Protestant version?
Why should they?
There is no single "Protestant" version ~ and I bet you can find variations in the Catholic "translations" as well.
You have hit the nail. This is what has confused the issue for the courts. There are different sects and they don't all use the same terminology. (In fact they have slightly different versions of religion, and thats why they are different sects.) The problem is that 80% percent of the people have some religious belief that would buy into the ten commandments, (if they could get around the specific version.)
Government could get around this in my opinion by a discalimer: "Above version courtesy local majority protestent church suc and such and in no way is meant to meant the government endorses this church or this version."
This works in other areas, why not religion. You could put the disclaimer on nativity scenes, Etc. If the government says its not meant to be an endorsement why would that not be good enough for the ACLU lawyers who live by words like this all the time?
The court took a much more difficult turn and has apparently decided to "read the minds" of the poster of the monument. Whether he or she thought in their minds that this was a state endorsement of not. Much harder to do, and its no surprise the court is in trouble here. The common man, unlearned in law, can see that the court is nutty as a fruitcake, and this is not good for our support of the court.
