Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
Robomatic,
You said:
. . . in positing the idea of a God that is 'NOT' you or I and thus enables us to be equal we create the secular world.

A statement like indicates that you need a trip to the dictionary and a basic course in logic. You are reaching way to far to try to support something that is not rationally able to be supported: the idea that posting scriptures on the courthouse wall doesn't mean that the government doesn't support and establish that religion.

Why not just have a secular government? Why try to pretend we are getting there through something as blatantly non-secular as the statements, "I Am the Lord thy God." and "You shall have no other Gods before me."

Why isn't it good enough for you to practice your religion at home and in your church and why, being an American, don't you want to leave the courthouse walls alone??
