Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
No. Don't answer my questions with a question, especially one that is unrelated to the discussion at hand. Just answer the damn questions. Justify yourself directly, not by quoting history, not by going off on tangents, not by pulling in lots of extraneous side issues, not by pretending you don't understand that the Bill of Rights exists to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Explain, in your own words, how you think that posting religious scripture on the courthouse wall should not be construed by any rational person -- and especially by people who don't share that religion -- as an establishment of religion. Explain why -- in the face of direct biblical injunctions to the contrary -- you want your worship to be both public and government sponsored. Explain why you want something that looks very much like theocracy in America. Explain why you seem to think that requiring you to take the scripture off the courthouse wall is an attack on religion in general. Explain yourself, sir, in plain language that stands up to logic, or shut the hell up.
