The first amendment states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to peacebaly assemble,and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Roy Moore never made any law about religion in the Ten Commandments case.

Why must you push your views onto others?

Why must you push your views on us?

slightly hypocritical of you, don’t you think?

I find it funny that all you keep doing is telling how this activism is impossible.

1. It is logically ridiculous to say it cannot exist.
2. I haven’t seen you refute what KP has said.
from your argument - if you don’t agree with the ruling, its an “activist” judge.

Our argument? That is what you are doing with Roy Moore. I ditto KP’s answer.

slightly hypocritical of you, don’t you think?

No - I would allow for EVERY religion in America, to be practiced with family, with friends, with fellow parishoners, in their homes, in their churches, even in public places….but I WOULD NOT allow government agencies, or government officials to PROMOTE any one religion over another. That’s all. By posting christian teachings in a Courthouse - it shows a predisposition towards one religion.

Also, it is NOT unconstitutional, The fact is that the 10 commandments is what common law is based on.

I’ve been to law school. The common law is based upon many many things - arguably, certain of the commandments are contained within that common law, but there are many which are not. “Remember the sabbath and keep it holy” - there’s no common law provision for that. prohibition of the worship of idols? come on…

The fact is that some of our laws come from those commandments. Some of our laws are THE SAME as those commandments - but i wouldn’t necessarily say they “come from” them. Thou shalt not committ murder. You don’t have the right to take the life of another. No one needs a commandment to know that.

The fact is people have the ablity to look away.

the point is, you shouldn’t FORCE American citizens to just look away. The fact is - YOU can look at your commandments, and your scriptures and whatever anywhere you want on your own terms….but WHY this obsession with force-feeding it to everyone else?

Why do you feel the need to PUSH your religious beliefs onto others. You clearly have the right and ability to worship any way you like whenever you like. Why must you push your views onto others?

Oh? lets see… 1st Ammendment states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to peacebaly assemble,and to petition the government for a redress of grievences.

separation of church and state.

a state cannot promote one religion over another.

Its not in there, you like most of America have fallen into the fallacy that Seperation of Church and State is in the constitution. When really we get that cathc-phrase from Jefferson’s PRIVATE DISCOURSE to a Connecticut Baptist church.

putting the 10 commandments in a courthouse is clearly unconstitutional. your buddy Roy Moore fought for the right OFFEND every other person of any other religion that walked through a courthouse door. THAT sounds pretty “activist” to me.

So then, using THAT logic. We should not allow for ANY religion in America, because that would be defending the right to offend EVERYONE of EVERYOTHER religion. Because they don’t worship the same thing.

Also, it is NOT unconstitutional, The fact is that the 10 commandments is what common law is based on.

The fact is that some of our laws come from those commandments.

The fact is people have the ablity to look away.

The fact is, Congress shall make no law respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of religion.

The fact is, the 10 commandments are not a religion and are not in the slightest establishing a religon.

Notice it did not say Congress shall make a law banning the acknowledgement of the basis of law.

Nor did it say Congress shall make a law banning the acknowledgement of religion.

Moore didn’t fight for a right to offend anyone. Look, if the 10 commandments offends a person THAT badly, look away. If someone posted an excerpt of the Koran in the court house, I wouldn’t be offended, and even if I was, I would take initiative and LOOK AWAY.

I’m a Christian, and seeing a muslim or a buddah statue does NOT offend me in the least.

Why is it that EVERY other religion can be tolerated and their laws acknowledged and NOT Christianity?

Because there are moral absolutes, and because there is only ONE WAY, and ONLY balck and white, no gray.

from your argument - if you don’t agree with the ruling, its an “activist” judge. if its a “action” in favor of the right, you think its fine?

No, I do not think that if its an action in favor of the Right it is fine. I think that we need to have Judges that have a strict interpretation that won’t spin it, left or right.

God Bless,
KP
