A discussion of the ten commandments in a classroom setting is just as valid as a discussion of the kinds of religious persecution that led to the Mayflower compact.

Our constitution allows for Freedom of Conscience. This is not a thought that sprouted into being from the pen of our founding fathers. The "unenforceable" parts of God's law are explained by the first part of the first commandment from which all the others follow, so conveniently left out here. "I am the Lord, thy God." If you don't have that part down then all the rest is just so much civil code, and "thou shall not kill" has just as much meaning as "thou shall not walk on the grass."

LOL, In other words, without your religion, you would be a homicidal maniac? Sheesh, don't skip church!

Absolutely true!
