Alright, you obviously need more hand holding to reach the point than I realized.
TE: Who said anything about the government giving or not giving instruction on God?
B4Ranch: Post #13:"What I see is our government preparing society for a godless communistic society."
Do you understand the meaning of the verb 'prepare'? If one believes that 'government [is] preparing society for godless communistic society' that person believes 'the government [is] giving or not giving instruction on god'.
I don't consider it the role of the government to advocate religion itself, or in particular. The 1st amendment was proffered and ratified to protect the rights of individuals against that very influence.
The artistic homage to history's lawgivers in the Supreme Court is just that. Efforts to percieve it as a slight to Christians is just puling, and unbecoming. Trying to expand it into some kind of re-education of the masses in preparation for 'godless communism' is, literally, hysterical.
g'night.
"Do you understand the meaning of the verb 'prepare'? If one believes that 'government [is] preparing society for godless communistic society' that person believes 'the government [is] giving or not giving instruction on god'."
Not necessarily so, there are many ways to "prepare". It could mean the gov't is simply ignoring God, neither giving or not giving instruction about God.
Communism took an active role in trying to stomp out any knowledge of God, now it appears they are taking a subtle, dishonest and cowardly approach by simply refusing to acknowledge or mention Him.
If you cut from whole cloth you could read it that way. It doesn't say that to the literate among us it says that we're being prepared for communism which does not tolerate any religion. No instruction or non-instruction allowed.

Most intelligent people consider it a guarantee that government won't ban religion either.

Duh. For about the third time I will note that no one has said otherwise.

Efforts to give the impression that anyone has put forth that POV here are just lies or stupidity.

Yeah, morons say things like that...
Gunslingr3: "With respect to advancing communism, one needs to look no farther than the expansion of federal entitlements by those who call themselves "compassionate conservatives". Communism isn't a tourist guide's spiel at the Supreme Court, it's the government seizing and distributing more and more of what the people in this nation produce. That's coming at you from the White House and the Congress, ..."
I get your drift. "Don't bother me with your petty liberties lost just keep your hands off of my money."
I will bang my head against the brick wall of your intellect one more time and say again, for about the third or fourth time, that the erasure of American history is the problem and America is the target of attack. Let me elucidate that so that even a mental midget won't misunderstand. The specific target of religion (which has obviously been targeted) is just one aspect of the overall attack on individual liberties ALL of which are antithetical (that means in opposition to) communism which is clearly the ideology being advanced in steps by the left and (unfortunately) aided by some on the right.
FWIW your pathetic attempts at ad hominem are puling and unbecoming. Note how much cleverer I am at it and how I weave it into sound logical contructs that lead to real conclusions. That's because I set it all on sound premises and make sharp observations about what the essential subject really is. Pay attention, jerkoff, you might learn something about insulting if nothing else. ; )
