Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
I am a Christian but I am not arguing with your interpretations, having a strong belief in basic right and wrong. I do on the other hand find your vehement dislike of Christianity disturbing. The basis of these laws give non Christians and Christians their moral code. We have used them to establish law just like we used the Hippocratic Oath to found our medical code of ethics. The law is not forcing you to change your humanistic values, merely applying a moral code to follow. The majority of the Founding fathers were influenced by Judeo Christian morals. The likes of John Adams et al were influenced by them regardless of religious bias. I deduce from your beliefs that the use of any icon is wrong; therefore using your logic we should demolish the Statue of Liberty and the blindfold, sword and scales of justice?

Yours, Aye. Dave (the perplexed mariner)
