Suuurrreeee, and while we’re at it, teach the kids that the Moon is made of green cheese, the Easter Bunny was in Hawaii for vacation, and...what else nonsense they can come up with.
God GOD! Has everyone been taking crazy pills?
In much the same way, symbols have been bastardized by liberal interest groups, the state/fed just moves in an emotional wind. Instead, the state should neither recognize, endorse, favor or forbid any free exercise of religious expression that does not infringe on the rights of others to pursue life, liberty and happiness.
NOTE: ...that does not infringe on the rights of others.
I personally do not endorse the interpretation of Jefferson's original letter suggesting there is a clear separation of church and state. The constitution itself is more clear in that congress shall pass no laws abridging the right.... Neither the Constitution nor Thomas Jefferson ever suggested the banning of religious symbols to protect one group of citizenry's belief over another’s.
This post is entirely from a historical point of view and does not represent its author's religious opinion of the 10 Commandments.
You are obviously not a Lutheran. Either that or you don’t have a clue.
Just throw out the 10 Commandments and start using the Georgia Guidestones openly. After all, the demons in the country are brazenly and actively supporting depopulation, among other key elements of those Satanic stones.
I have read that Martin Luther kept the Catholic counting of the Ten Commandments. I'm not a Lutheran and I don't know if modern-day Lutherans follow his practice or agree with other Protestants.
The WRATH of God, cometh soon.
Understoood. We follow all the commandments, no breakdown, or interpretation. Luther’s catechism makes no distinctions.
Maybe that is our break with the Catholic Church. Maybe it is also our break with the Wisconsin synod, I am Missouri synod.
The Church has many divisions, and ultimately dilutions. Kinda like our modern society, justifying actions with diluted morality.

Judging from the quality of education in many parts of this country, I believe they are already doing this.
Jesus cut the commandments down to two. (Matt. 22:37-40) Wonder if the judge would go with that solution?

Dud txt so rks.
(Sorry, that should be read with dripping sarcasm.... sprinkled liberally with Schadenfreude.)

Probably say something like this:
Who the hell is this ‘Jesus’ guy to think that he has any authority in the law? Why I bet he doesn’t have any precedent to back what he says up!
Well, that might just be my sarcasm kicking in.
The entire Bible is historical, a better argument is the Feds have no business in local schools at all.
I guess the commandments have joined the U.S Constitution on the liberal list of “living documents.”
Liberals are smarter than God.
Well, anyway, spoken like a true Roman judge! "Quis est veritas?"
"'What is the truth?' said jesting Pilate,
And would not stay for an answer." -- Browning
And then there was this guy, from the Acts:
"Et nihil erat curae Gallioni." (Jews complaining about Christians and demanding the right to try them and stone them under Jewish ecclesiastical law.)
"And it was of no concern to Gallio."
This judge is making thinly veiled threats to Giles County.
He also ought to know that in parallel cases what was done was to add other historical fundamental law documents to the Commandments display. This proposal is new and a bunch of hooey.
Isn’t militant atheism also about God (in their case, chasing references to God out)?
The judge is a fool.
