My God isn't a piece of stone with words on it. This guy needs to read the second commandment.

While I agree with you, law really did start with the 10 Commandments. The fact the liberals won on this is kinda nuts. Freedom of religion != Freedom from religion.

With the exceptions of thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal, the rest of the commandments are more like laws the Taliban would enforce.

Athieism is religion, too- and apparently the only permitted official religion.

Agreed. Not respecting the establishment of religion was put in the bill of rights to prohibit the government from creating something like the Church of England here in the U.S. The ironic thing is that the separation of church and state has gone so far that the government has respected the establishment of atheism.

"law really did start with the 10 Commandments"

You really ought to look into a guy named Hammurabi.
