Thread Name: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
It's only esrablishing religion if the scriptures are all from one particular relgion...

I have suggested that if scriptures from various relgions that instruct us all to be more caring and loving toward one another, including some of the 10 Commandments which are universal, would be a good thing. I don't see where doing that *establishes* a relgion or makes folks bullies???

I pointed out earlier that there a lot of just decent common sense in many scripture, be them from the Bible, the Koran or whatever. And here we are all trying to live in an increasingly hostile world allowing the Christain Right to pit Chrstains and Jews against thos of Islamic Faith... We'd sure better start finding ways the bridge the gap and I think it can be done but not so long as we're instructing our governemnt to heep people in the dark... Hey, I want to be able to walk into a school or court room and learn not only what Christains have to offer mankind but other relgions as well...

And this from a Christain...
