MissyMe,

I don't disagree with the importance of the Ten Commandments. But I can see beyond the fact that they happen to be a symbol of my own faith. I don't understand conservatives sometimes - they seem to think government 's violation of the constitution is okay - as long as THEY aren't the ones slighted. This makes me crazy.

The fact that millions might support it is irrelevant - in fact it points out why we needed a constitution in the first place: to prevent tyranny by the majority.

Yes, the Koran is a lie. As is the Book of Mormon and so many other homegrown scriptures. But other faiths could say the same about our Bible & there is NOTHING you could say to it other than to appeal to authority - e.g., "The Bible is true because the Bible says it's true."

I guess to me The Holy Bible is like a math equation 2 and 2 equals 4 always have always will no matter how many people try to twist it to mean anything else.

Truth is Truth
