Moreover, who can cite a single American law - anywhere - that isn't derived from The Ten Commandments?

Isn't the Bible used as an instrument of the court when someone is sworn in? Does the Bible need to be removed from the courts under the same logic that they are using with this ten commandments issue? If not, I feel that the ten commandments should stay put.

I'm pretty sure that ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et. seq., does not derive from the ten commandments. ;)

Oh for Pete's sakes, where do you people come from? Seatbelt laws. "Monty, tell him what he's won."

What do you want to bet I can find more? Laws come from society establishing rules that allow us to live together, not some mystic doing acid on a mountain.
