No, I'm saying that if a person disagrees with teachings of the Ten Commandments, doesn't that imply that he's FOR murder, FOR disrespect to parents, FOR adultry, etc.? The teachings of the Ten Commandments are largely accepted by all civilized societies in the world (emphasis on "civilized") so why do some people oppose them being honored on a wall, a plaque, or a monument? The only reason I can see for people's opposition is that the Ten Commandments, while universal in their acceptance, specifically come from the Jewish/Christian Bible. The issue with their opposition isn't that people disagree with the teachings, by in large, but that they despise Christianity and Judaism. Wouldn't you say?

Maybe he's just against keeping the Sabbath holy or in worshipping the ONE God. Just because someone disagrees with the teachings of the 10 Commandments doesn't necessarily mean that they disagree with each commandment.

You are prepared to call over 1 billion people of the world uncivilized?

I would say that the first 4 are definitely not universally accepted. And violating #10 is the basis of capitalism.

Your views are the best possible demonstration of why the monument should NOT be in the courthouse.
