The Ten Commandments are not "worthy" of the American people. They "someone might be offended" and we are not offensive people.

Yet the religious Seven Noahide Laws are *it seems* 'worthy', and have been recognised as "the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded" AND "these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization" --- by the Federal government and the Bush administration.

Ever heard of these laws? Can you EVEN find them in the Bible? (If they cannot be found in the Bible, then how is that fact consistant with the 'Judeo-Christian' ethic our country was founded on??) Is a resolution of Congress recognising them a violation of Amendment 1 when the Very First of these laws prohibits idolatry?? And others prohibit 'adultry' or 'improper relations'?

Might be from the "Judaeo" part....though the Rebbe seems ultra-Orthadox to the point of serious religious extremism. While my grandfather was Jewish, he eventually converted to Catholicism. Personally, I'm a generic Christian. In other words, I don't even know who the Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson is.
