Sinkspur, I'm addressing this to you only because you seem to be the most vocal about the issue. But it's really addressed to all who agree that the Ten Commandments shouldn't be displayed.

The first five of the Commandments have to do with spiritual issues.

The last one could, in this day and age, be viewed as a gray area....which that line of thinking, of course, has gotten us in trouble in the first place.

That leaves us with:

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness

Aren't the laws of THIS land based on that??????? What HAS become the problem with you (sinkspur, etal) that you find it ok to obey the laws of the "land", yet are so willing to throw this monument away? What are you so afraid of?

I know the answer...I just want YOU to think about that one.

Another thing...don't you (sinkspur, etal) realize, that if these Commandments from God, these simple TEN commandments are removed from the public square, it opens the door for government to legislate us even more? Think about it....if we could keep only these 10 and live by them as a country....or if we throw them out and let the government make rules and laws at their whim.

Which country would you rather live in?

I have no problem with the 10 Commandments being displayed in public buildings.

They are displayed in public buildings all over the country with not a peep out of the courts.

If Judge Moore had displayed them in the manner that they're displayed in all those other public buildings, we'd be talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of at each other's throats over this.
