a few points
I will probaly regret this but...
1- The 10 Commandments were given to Moses at Mt Sinai and are therefore JEWISH.
2- Before there was nothing besides Catholicism a theologian said that the 10 Commandments did not apply to the Jewish-Christians as they were known, so to say that they are Judeo-Christian is incorrect. Only those Commandments the Church said applied now do, which makes the whole 10 Commandments argument moot.
3- As a law student if I have to hear the separation of church and state argument from a professor 1 more time I will scream!!
Swearing on the Bible (new or old) in court is a violation, as is the monument in the Alabama courthouse.
4- As to why Christians are "presecuted" for their beliefs- I hate to say this, but it's the Christians who are the KKK, the Christians who fought in the Crusades trying to change the Muslims into Christians and it was the Christians who built gas chambers and killed 11 million people- Jews, Gypsys, and other "non-believers" in the Holocaust.
5- Along those same lines, it is the Christians who found some obscure quote in the bible that gave them cause for slavery.
6- Again, it is the Christians who are being "picked on" b/c they throw their religion in your face and tell you that you're going to hell if you don't believe what they do!!!
The 10 Commandments in the Alabama courthouse is a violation of church and state- that's the bottom line!
As a judge, the Ala Supreme Court justice knew this and violated the rules of Judicial Conduct by violating those rules. He then went further and ignored the order of the Supreme Court of the United States- that's called anarchy!!
We have laws in this country and it is the job of the judges to enforce them. If he only chooses to enforce those rules he wants, what's to stop him from no longer enforcing the Amendment abolishing slavery?
Done ranting!!
CAS
PS- I will not answer PMs.
