I believe the Ten Commandments are specific to all Christian and Jewish faiths. They are the foundation of our laws, you know, like how it's against the law to commit murder--"Thou Shalt Not Kill," and it's against the law to steal--"Thou Shalt Not Steal."

Then put up a sign that reminds people that under the laws of Alabama they are not allowed to kill, steal, lie, cheat, or screw another person's wife. No need to shove the religious part down our throats also. BTW, what provision of the Alabama Penal Code prohibits a person from using the lord's name in vain or from having other god's before them. Although the bible thumpers claim that the purpose of Moore's Monument is to remind people of the origin of our laws, at least five of the ten commandments are purely religious and to the best of my knowledge do not relate to any crime on the books of any state.

I guess you never have been south of the ole Mason Dixon, and heard of the Sunday Blue Laws prohibiting the operation and sale of goods on Sunday ("Keep holy the Sabbath Day")

and to the best of my knowledge do not relate to any crime on the books of any state.

The concept of debt relief in bankruptcy is a relgious one directly take from God's teachings to Moses. Those who put faith in God and receive his benefits are likewise obligated to treat others the way God treats them, therefore the concept of foregiveness of debts.
