The Ten Commandments should have a right to stay in judicial buildings, especially state justice areas. I believe that our country was founded upon Judeo-Christain values, ethics, and principles, which the 10 commandments bring out. Many of our laws are based upon the 10 commandemnts, in that our laws provide punishment for some of the commandments, such as Thou Shall not Murder. What's more, all these people who say they are offended by it, I do not understand. Are they saying they are offended by the wording "Thou shall not murder" or some of the other commandments? Are they saying they do feel those commandments are wrong? Or are they doing so only because they hate religion no matter what it says?
The fact of the matter is, these 10 commandments are there to remind us of our history and what values inspired our founding fathers. It is not just about religion. What's more, its not like the Judges use a bible in court to make their decisions. The placement of the 10 commandments is just like a historical aspect to our nation. It is just like if it were in a federal-museum (which the Smithsonian has in DC). If you take it out of these government buildings, you would have to take it out of our government run museums, monuments, etc.
This is another decision which is wrecking our country. And not only our country, but distorting how our great nation was founded.
You need to read some of Moore's decisions.
In 100% agreement with your reasoning. And people of minority religions" should agree as well. Historical, absolutely.
